Setting Forth




What a hectic past few weeks it has been. I never realized how much work it would be to be in regular high school and have two college courses on the side. Let me just say, Wow! It certainly doesn't give me much time to think about what colleges I am going to apply to pretty soon now. Oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out eventually. For school I have been reading the book Into The Wild which in my opinion is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is fascinating and reading about his journey and the people that he has met is just incredible. When people first heard about his death they either thought that he was a complete fool or very brave. In my opinion I think he is such an inspiration...to go out and do something so crazy but something that he dreamed of doing and not letting anyone tell him otherwise is just unbelievable. I think that more people should follow their dreams the way that he did. Never give up on your dreams because you never know where they might take you!

Attention




What a hectic past few weeks!! From my high school work to my college class work, I have been swamped with what feels like never ending homework. When my mom showed me this video it calmed me down in a way. When watching this I thought, man he is cute haha, but other than that I thought that I would love to go to places like that. They are absolutely gorgeous! Which made me determined to convince my parents to let me go on my french class's summer trip this coming summer. It is a 10 day trip: Starting out in London, then taking the underwater train (how exciting) and heading over to Paris, and then after that we will head to Germany then go home. Cross Your Fingers For Me!

Mad World

(Frances Bean)


(Agyness Dean by Hedi Slimane)

Boy did this week fly by! It is already Thursday, thank goodness. Today I felt like I would go with more edgy photos and really give this blog some diversity. Also, I absolutely adore all of Agyness Dean's photographs! She is such an incredible model. Recently I have really been thinking about the placement that I want my tattoo to be and when I found this picture of Frances Bean I thought it was so clever that she has a tattoo on the inside of her arm below her armpit. Since I want a quote I didn't know where a good place would be and then this picture really inspires me to get it in the same spot that she has one. Grant it, it will probably hurt even more there but hey a little pain is nothing compared to a soon to be gorgeous work of art!
