Back to School

I was contemplating on telling you now, or when I actually start, but what the hell, it's already pretty much a done deal; I'm going back to school, and you'll never guess what I will study!

Okay fine, you might have guessed it, I'll be studying photography.

Cause you know, I suck at it.

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and just before Christmas, I applied, a week ago I got an email inviting me to an interview that was held yesterday, and today I got the acceptance email. I'm pretty fucking excited about that. Prior to the interview, I had no idea how many openings they had, and how many applicants, but I asked about it and found out they have 10 openings, 62 applied, and 20 were called in for the interview. I was soooooo nervous for the past 24 hours waiting if I had gotten in.

Yesterday was the first time I visited the school, and it's a super creative environment; while I was waiting for my interrogation, I watched blacksmith students work, and viewed jewellery and photographs along the halls, made and taken by the students. The school is fairly small and houses all sort of different fields of artist and handcraft students.

Going back to school is gonna be a huge change in my life, and I believe a good one, apparently it's healthy to have human contacts. I'm really looking forward to seeing who the nine other people in my class will be. The school starts next month, so I still have some free time left. But instead of thinking, oh now I have to shoot for the next weeks all the time because soon I won't have time, I'm thinking, yay, soon I'll be doing more of what I love, now I just have to get ready for it.

The above photo btw was one of the five I send in when I applied, because one of them had to be a self portrait, and I didn't wanna send in any sexey stuff, that would have been almost cheating as it was a male teacher.

Ps. How happy are we that I'll be studying something that won't get in the way of Steemit!?

Yeah maybe I'll end up teaching instead :P

Haha for sure, but not in the first months, can't have them know all my dirty secrets right off the bat :D

Congrats to you. You are already doing amazing work so I don't know what they have to teach you. Maybe some technical stuff is what you are after, Learn the rules, then break them. I hope you have fun with the learning and the social side.

I have sooooo much to learn! For once, I have no idea what to do in a studio setting, if there is artificial lights included, and I've never used a flash!

Thanks, I'll try to be a really good girl! :) In the past I have pretty much hated school but I hope this one I will enjoy as it's a really creative environment.

I'll try to be a really good girl!

And tell me how is this any fun? Lol...

Nah, you better be good...Although I was an indifferent student myself and good wasn't really something I did very well...Everything just moved too slowly for me.

I think it's a good thing to formalise your skills a little, develop your obvious talent and see where it leads. Working in a more creative environment may bring out something new within you, or awaken something that lies dormant. You'll possibly pick up on the influences around you and that concatenated with your current ability...Hmm...You could be stupendous...More stupendous than you are I mean. (Stupendous means extremely impressive...Just in case you didn't know.)

I'm sure I'll see loads of your new work and get to observe how your new venture affects your photography.

I am the same, things move too slowly usually. When you already know a lot, you want to get to the good stuff right away, and start working on something tangible. In culinary school I used to go sleep under a table, hiding behind a spice cart, because I had already done everything that was assigned to me in half the time given. Safe to say, the teacher did not like me.

Stupendous might just be my new favourite English word, of course pronounced with a strong posh British accent. My previous favourite word was haberdashery.

I can imagine you behind the spice rack curled up while the losers in the class struggle to keep up! Lol.

Oh yeah, haberdashery is a legit word but can be difficult to work into a lot of conversations...Stupendous, said with high-brow English accent, can be easier to deploy more often.😁

You're welcome. 😉

Oh god no.
What if you'll start to get all these weird ideas and start to do some super-artys-photography.

Like taking a photo of a dumpster to represent the true state of capitalism etc.

NOoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh nice, that's excellent news! Student life calls for you too. My student life has started pretty good, I like the school because it's, well, very relaxing, you know, massage school :D

Ja hei! Käännytä ne silleen salakavalan ylimalkaisesti Steemianeiksi. Tai mikä ois suomenkielinen vastine Steemianille... Steemari? Kamalaa, kuulostaa vanhalle saappaalle tai jollekin kalastusvälineelle, mutta ei nimellä kai väliä, kunhan tosiaan multitaskaat ja ehkä vähän käännytät niitä muita. :D

Steemiani kuulostaa hyvältä! Vähän niinku moderni shamaani. Ja tottakai alan jossain vaiheessa poimimaan sieltä sopivat tyypit tänne 😝
