Schooooool

School has been pretty stressful lately. Since the end of the semester is coming to a close soon, teachers sure are making the most of it. Being in apart of an organization at school has put the toll on me as well, since there is always something to do for it. I enjoy being busy, it helps to make sure things get accomplished but at the same time, it feels like there is not time to sit down and relax, I am always on the run! Soon enough though, it will be summer and it'll be time for more classes! Haha! Oh well, the more classes I get accomplished now, the less amount of school I have to go through! I just have to buckle down and get everything done as early as possible so I am not stressed out at the last minute!

Fixing My Photo Essay

I think I might but a little bit of a different spin on my photo essay. I will be keeping some of the pictures that I have already taken but add to them. I think it would be interesting to show the number of new homes being built compared to the number of older homes for sale, which are not selling right now. I think this is a problem and if it continues it seems like all of the older homes would need to be torn down to accommodate for land to build newer homes. I could use this topic for my final paper as well. I think that I will have an easier time & have my photo essay turn out better while taking these pictures and putting it together!

I also got some great suggestions from my classmates. I need to take into account what they had to say about my blog and make it much better. I hope that this will help me out in the end with the final copy of it.

Hopefully everything will work out great with this photo essay!!
