So, I was thinking, instead of waiting until the end of the year to tell you about everything that's happened in 2012, I thought I'd just update you on the year so far. Well, I'm bored and trying to do everything apart from college work.
Where are we so far then? Well, I'm now 18! Yay me. I had a great party, pink and white themed- decorations, dress code (which everyone ignored) and a pink and white sweet buffet! I planned and paid for it on my own so that I could gain some experience in planning an event, seeing as I wanted to plan weddings and events... yep, WANTED to, which means I don't want to any more. I have no idea why, I just woke up one morning and thought 'I don't want to do that any more', so I'm not. So yeah, 18... I do feel older I guess, if anything, I feel a lot more responsible which is strange because I'm sure when you turn 18 you're expected to become irresponsible and go out getting drunk all the time? Oh well, I've never been one to follow the crowd.
Those of you who know me will know that since being young I've been interested in taking photos, only as a hobby though but recently I've become a lot more serious about it. People are starting to want to pay for my work, can you believe it? Personally, I don't see why but that's probably me putting my skills down and stuff. I've got a Facebook page now for my photography- http://www.facebook.com/BeckyJadePhotography - I still haven't thought of a name, I've never been good with stuff like that. BeckyJade Photography is the name at the moment until I come up with something better.
I've got a wedding that I've been asked to do this weekend at the Joseph Whitworth Centre just outside of Matlock. Gorgeous venue. My friend from school, her mum is getting married and she asked me and Lauren to photograph it. You'd think I'd be really nervous because if I screw this up, that's their day ruined, but I'm actually not really that bothered about it- not in the sense that I don't care and won't put any effort in, I mean that I just don't really feel any excitement or nerves or anything at this stage. They'll probably kick in on the day and I'll be really stressed out and the control freak in me will show it's ugly face.
I've got another wedding I'm photographing on the 24th of June, the same day as Rachel and Ben's and it's the day after my great grandma's 90th. So that's a party and two weddings in one weekend and of course I'm still at college on the Monday so guess who's gonna be shattered? And I'll probably be fed up of wearing dresses by the end of the month-give me jeans and a decent hoodie any day!
College is still extremely stressful and I'm at the stage where I wish the 29th of June was tomorrow. I've put in so much effort over the two years and let soo many people take credit for my work that the day I leave college will be the best day of my life so far. I'm seriously not kidding. Two years is a long time when you're stressed out, annoyed and upset about 85% of that time. Drama after drama after drama. I'll do a whole post on college on the 29th... or the 30th.
This year so far has been full of dramas and heart ache with little bits now and then when the sun's shined through the darkness and I've had a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel. But sometimes, when things are bad, you've just got to have faith that the light is there at the end of the tunnel and that you'll reach it in time. So I'm still here. I'm still in one piece. I've got my amazing friends and family there for me when I need them (they know who they are!) so I'll be okay.
Still got lots of things to look forward to in the year so stay tuned for more rants and stories from me. Byeeeeeeeeeee
