Rain Rain Go Away...

.....Come again another day. Its been pretty gloomy and to make matters worse it seems to have contributed to the death of prominent attorney John O'Quinn here in Houston...This happened about mid-day today so additional details are sure to emerge later and the days following. See the initial report from local ABC Channel 13 here.

Aside from wishing the rain away, I am doing pretty well. My schedule is busy with school and the like and there are times I just feel overwhelmed. I am having a bit of that feeling today. As much time as I put into studying I always feel like I am behind. It didn't help that I went out of town last weekend without my laptop. UGH! I accidentally left it and when I realised it, it was too late to turn back. Needless to say when I got back, I had LOTS to do. I hate being behind. For the next couple of days, I plan to just throw on some sweats, pack a nice lunch and some snacks and spend the ENTIRE day in the library. My mom is headed to Trinidad for a month so hopefully while she is gone I can implement my plan of attack on the last month of school. Wish me luck on that. We will see.

For your reading pleasure

I read a lot of blogs. A LOT! I love love love when I come across a blog and they are giving praises to another blog. Seems like a no brainer to me - hyping up someone eles's creativity, giving them props -but I do not see it being done alot. Afrobella, one of my favorite bloggers aways gives shout-outs to others doing there thing. Here's hoping I can effect small change within blog land and if nothing else introduce you to somethin new.

I first got wind of his work when someone forwarded an email to me back in 2007. He did an awesome slideshow of a couple's engagement that went viral. I swear I watched that proposal like 20 times. His name is Ross Oscar Knight and on his blog Ross Oscar Knight Photography, he gives great details about photo shoots, destinations and any thing that made an event special..Spun between discussions of photo shoots and destination discussions, he talks a lot about family and his decision to take up photography. On top of all that he also hosts a photography class for amateurs...Hopefully one day I can partake. He definitely makes me think I can....

I also like his "keeping him honest" blog posts and the fact that he answers his email. I contacted him once and shamefully never followed up. In that time, he has evolved into so much more that I became intimated..I may try again because I love his work. Enjoy and tell him I sent ya!

Have a great week!

Its Monday

Hope all is well with you in blog land. I am hanging in there. Still taking my paralegal course - I am in my 3rd of five tracks. I am also still going strong with my post-bac classes. We had midterms last week and I survived - THANK GOD!!! There was a point where I was taking my Methods midterm and my mind went completely blank. I had to take a couple deep breaths to regain my focus...Talk about weird. My policy midterm wasnt too bad. I am really hoping I did well.

I don't have much coming up. I need to focus on getting some graduate school applications underway. I say I want to go but I have done nothing to facilitate the process. The hardest thing was compiling a list of things to get done and I did that weeks ago. Procrastination is going to get. me. no. where.
