Growing Dreams: 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!
