365 project

So after writing my last post I realized that I didn't explain what a "365 photo challenge" even is! (Silly me!) I'm sure there's some of you who may have thought "ok, what is that?!" So simply put, a 365 project is when you commit to taking one photo a day for a whole year. Sometimes people will do this with their phones, but I'm going to be doing mine with my Canon - to get some more practice! So I'm also going to be lightly editing all the photo's I take for this as well, to get more practice in that area too. I hope that I've gotten rid of any questions you may have had regarding that. Sorry for not explaining myself better!

So in a few of the pictures you may notice that me and Jeff were painting! (ok, so it was mostly Jeff) That's because we were! Our bathroom previously was a mixture of dark and light browns, but now it's been totally transformed! We went to Canadian Tire with a spontaneous decision to paint the bathroom, and we came out with some painting equipment and a can of Royal Wedding paint! So now, our bathroom is a lovely fresh and clean blue/green colour! We love it. Doing little things like that are what slowly make a place feel more like "home", and we love that feeling. 

Can't believe I've added another post already! I'm on a roll!! Here's some more of my 365 project, enjoy!!!

XOXO,

getting out of a rut

Life has been so busy. It's funny, you expect yourself to have all the time in the world when you think "oh I'm just going to be going to university and working part time, no biggie!" Ha. You're funny, Alana. So I apologize that I haven't done a post on my university experiences, but I'm going to blame it on university - classic. But yeah, overall school has been great! I realized right away that I chose the right program (and in case you're thinking "what program was she in again?!", I'm in the Education Assistant and Community Support program (aka, EACS)). I was kind of nervous at first because honestly, I really wasn't sure what I was getting into. But thankfully, those fears have long been dispelled. For the most part. So my program consists of 5 courses: Psychology, English, Practicum Prep, Foundation of EACS, and Health Care Principles (which has a lab with it as well). Overall it's really not that much to handle. In most of the courses they pretty much hold your hand and help you in whatever way they can, which rocks. I'm actually doing pretty well in all my courses too, which is something I was a little a lot nervous about heading into university. I wasn't sure what the course load would be like, if I'd have to pull all-nighters, if I'd have to get a tutor, etc. Thankfully, lots of the information we learn in this program is everyday common sense. 
However, since I've begun school I've been having a really hard time finding the motivation to pick up my camera. Of course there's the occasional time when me and Tiff would go out and do a little photo shoot, or when I'd take a couple pictures of Jeff, but other than that I haven't really taken out my Canon much! So to break the cycle, and to get my mind off of end of the semester exams, I've decided to being a 365 Photo Challenge!! I know, I know, it's going to be tough and yeah, maybe I won't be able to take a picture everyday... but so far this has been great motivation for me! So every once in a while, when I get the time make some time I'm going to be posting the photo's that I've taken so far!! (This is for you, Andrea!!) 
So without further adieu, here are some of the photos that have been taken so far! 

(ps. i'm not a pro, i'm just trying to get some practice taking photos and editing them!)

Cheers!
