getting in a routine

Routine is starting to set in (and depending on how you are this is good or bad). For me it is good and bad. I don't want to get life in my school to become routine so I forget why I am here. But I do
like some routine because it will keep me sane. Our schedule is far from routine. But my life is starting to fit into that routine (if that makes sense). Enough babel let me tell you what I did this week.
Monday I had 7 classes and got 5 assignments. Four photo shoots and a speech. I was really overwhelmed to say the least. Once Tuesday rolled around it started to make a little more sense why we got them all in one day. Many of our assignments will be done in class where we are given a lot of instruction and help if we want it or need it. And they all build on one another. So, the things we learned in the first assignment will have to be taken in account for second. And so on and so on. Nothing is random although it feels that way sometime. On Tuesday we went to Clark Art Institute in Williamstown Ma (An absolutely stunning drive). There we photographed art and architecture taking into account composition and lighting. We spent all day there and by the end of the day I was done. A very rewarding and stretching day.
Wednesday we had an assignment to shoot regarding Depth of Field. (if you are really interested in what this means e-mail me and I will explain It) I was able to tag along with three other classmates. One of them new of a real sweet spot very close to school. In many of our classes we are required to have people as our subjects so we use each other in our assignments. It kinda forces us to get know one another. I am developing (no pun intended) some real cool relationships.
On the first day of class we were given a "friendly" competition assignment. The topic was "childhood fears". It was not mandatory and no grades are given. The picture I entered is to the right. I will let you guess who it is!
Well, until next week. Here's to studying hard and having your work in on time.
