Fall Semester Looms.......

Well....it doesn't bode well for fall....it'll be pretty lean as far as making ends meet. Not to mention that I'd like to submit to ROAR, The Five State and Photographers Forum again....each of which will cost me at least $120 total plus another 25 in gas to get to Russell and back. I am going to hold some finances in reserve from disbursement, but bills come first as always. I have been selected as a finalist in two competitions, but I am wary to say more than this for fear of ruining my chances at even an honorable mention. I will be thrilled to get anything of the sort, but that shows I am doing something right so far as my photography.....I have one or two other sites to get pieces on so I can get my images seen, and I need to get more on Flickr as well. I will be riding my nieces scooter to student teaching, losing that $600 work study per month really does hit hard, but working and doing student teaching I'm told is something that would likely burn me out. If things are pretty easy to manage, I might apply for an evening job at Hastings...hey books and DVD's....and it's walking distance from home. I have been learning as much as I can about curves and layers, and I hope to be implementing them more effectively in the near future, making my already pretty spiff pics even better.
