Great great great third week here at CMM. I learned my way around GIMP decently, and though  it’ll be a long journey, I’m feeling pretty confident in my progress thus far. I’m digging the .gifs and I’ll probably be experimenting more and more with those as they go on. As soon as I can do it without flubs, I’ll make a tutorial on it!

My daily creates this week were pretty straight forward, all photography-related minus a thrilling tale about my strangest job. A little more detail on that, I was not in fact dressed as a burrito, but rather I just sat there, trying to look attractive enough for male patrons to come over and buy burritos but trying to stay warm enough to stay alive (it was November/December). The restaurant was unorganized, unprofitable, and generally unsuccessful as a whole. But, it was delicious!

Had some fun with the photography this week, but my favorite was probably my monochrome photo.

I love this photo. I took it in Carova, NC where the wild horses roam the beach free. I love the beach and the mountains equally, but a beach with wild horses trumps all. They’re beautiful animals and I really can’t get enough of them. You should all check out the area if you haven’t! It’s on the border of Virginia and North Carolina, but because of the False Cape State Park (which is also beautiful and full of a variety of fantastic creatures like boars and rare birds), you have to go all the way down to the Outerbanks Bridge and then head back up north once you cross over. The trip, while long, is worth it because of the isolation.

The point is: Great week! I’m looking forward to more adventures. I screwed around in Minecraft a bit. I’m completely lost. Hopefully this week will bring me more knowledge in that.

Week four and on will prove to be a bit of a challenge for me, as I start my own camping adventure as a camp counselor at Four Star Camps at UVA. 10 years at my 4-H camp at Holiday Lake, 1 year at C’ville Parks and Rec, another semester at Camp Magic MacGuffin and now, I’m going to conquer UVA camp. I just can’t get enough.
