Shark City

So I ended up stopping at Woodfeild mall after school since it is right there. I went to a store called Spencer's instead of going to Factory Card and Party Outlet. There was alot of typical 21 birthday stuff there so it was definitely a good choice. Chandra collects shot glasses so of course I had to get her a shot glass. The shot glass I got her said 21 on the front and the back had some recipes for different shots you could make. I also got her a large cup that said birthday babe and a headband that said buy me a drink. It was great!
At midnight my friend Celia and I drove over to Shark City and met up with the birthday girl and some of her friends. When we went inside everyone went directly to the bar of course! Chandras roomate/best friend Stacey made her do a few shots and she also had a mixed drink. By that time they were already starting to take the last orders at the bar. It was a Monday night so they close much earlier and they stopped serving around 12:30. The security ended up kicking us out around 1:00 am because they were closing down. Since we had to leave everyone started making plans to go over to one of Chandra's friends house and have some more fun. Since I had school in the morning and my friend Ceila had to get up for work we ended up leaving. It was still a good time though!
By the time we left Chandra was already kind of tipsy just off of those few shots and the mixed drink she had. It was quite funny seeing her like that. I'm not sure what shes doing for her offical birthday today but I'm sure she'll have fun.

Happy Birthday Chandra! We're all 21 now, you were the last one. I cant believe it!

Chandra's turning 21!!!

Tomorrow is my good friend Chandra's 21st birthday so tonight at exactly midnight we're meeting up at Shark City. Shark City is a bar in Bloomingdale that is near Spring Dale restaurant, Jewel and Blockbuster. I've never been inside there but I've seen it and driven by it a hundred billion times. It should be a good time! Even though I have to get up at 7:30 in the morning to get ready and be at class by 9:00 am tomorrow you only turn 21 once so I'm not passing this opportunity up. I'm gonna go and we're all gonna have a really good time! Luckily I only have one class tomorrow and it only lasts until 11:00 so I'll just be a little tired tomorrow, that's all. I can sleep the rest of the day if I want to. However, I will not be sleeping the rest of the day because I have a million things I would like to get accomplished. Tomorrow should be a fun and successful day.
Right now I'm just about to get out of class so I'm gonna race over to Factory Card and Party Outlet to pick Chandra up something for her birthday. They have alot of party, costume/ funny birthday stuff there so I'll see what I can find. If I don't find anything there I'm gonna have to think fast and go somewhere else to find something before anything closes for the night. I don't know how much time I'll have so hopefully I can find something at the Factory Card and Party outlet.

AmazingHammTastic

I'm a huge YouTube fan, I watch hundreds of videos and follow a bunch of other youtubers on there. Its a whole community of friends really, I love it.
I also create and edit many of my own videos and post them onto my own YouTube channel, Hammbonee529. I've had that channel for quite sometime now and I have around 60 videos posted there. I thought it was time to create a new channel and start fresh. My new channel is AmazingHammTastic, just a random screen name I came up with. I hope to post videos regularly there and maybe someday I'll become a YouTube partner. The YouTube partner program gives you the opportunity to earn money from your video views. If you have an ongoing fan base and people who are subscribed to your videos you'll get constant views. It also depends on the content of your video as well, some videos being more popular then others. Any who...Hammbonee529 is my old channel, I might still be posting some random videos on there every once in a while. However, most of my videos will now be posted on my new channel AmazingHammTastic.

Busy Busy Busy!!!

Busy Busy Busy, that's all I have to say. I'm still here at Aunt Debbie and Uncle Gary's house pet sitting for them until Sunday. I've been getting up at 6:00 am every single day to make it to school by 9:00 am. On Monday I had to wake up even earlier at 5:00 am because I had to be at school by 8:00. I was mad tired that day seeing as though I had worked until 11:00 the previous night so I didn't make it home until a bit passed midnight. Physics at 8:00 in the morning after you worked until 11:00 and had to get up at 5:00 definitely doesn't go together.
I've been driving back and fourth to work almost every day this week also. I think I could drive the route blind folded I've done it so many times this week.
I have a wedding coming up very soon as I'm sure everyone who reads my blog posts already knows about. Thus, I have to be all prepared to shoot tons of pictures for that. My good friend Chandra is turning 21 this week so that's gonna be a late night. I need to go to the DMV to get my license renewed this week which is going to be a major pain! I hate going to the DMV, are people there only hired if there mean? After this week once the wedding is over with I have to drive straight back home and over to my cousin Owens house to pet sit again while there on vacation. Its been a busy few weeks but in the end I'm making alot of money so I suppose its all worth it. Tonight I'm gonna catch up on my sleep. I only have one class tomorrow morning so as soon as I get back to my Aunt and Uncles I'm crashing on the couch. Maybe eat some good food, break open my newest season of x-files and sleep. I'll be in heaven tomorrow not having to go to work. Well this was a pretty random, jumping all over the place blog post but I got out everything I felt like saying.

Pet/House Sitting

This week I'm house sitting for my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Gary while there all away on a Cruise until next Sunday night. I arrived here at there house around noon and I'll be living here all week until next Sunday. They have two cats Buddy and Ziggy and a dog named Snickers that I will be taking care of. I will also do some other little things around the house while there gone like getting the mail and watering some plants. I also have to take there cat Buddy in to the vet for his kidney shot once on Tuesday and once on Thursday.
Unlike our pets at home there pets have a food and bathroom schedule that they follow so its much different then home. Any who, I have work and school all this week so it will be pretty busy going back and fourth but I'll manage. It should be a good week and everything should work out very well.

Wedding Preperation

Today I have started to prepare for the wedding I'm photographing on July 31st. My two good friends from work Coty and Emily are getting married. They are both still very young, only 19. However, they've been dating for many years since they were in middle school so there tying the knot young. Thus, they don't have much money so they basically just wanted to find somebody who likes to take pictures. Somebody to show up and document there special day, not a crazy expensive photographer. So they have asked me to be the photographer.
A bunch of other people we all work with are going to be there as well so it should be a fun time. Since there from Wisconsin the wedding is going to be in Wisconsin but its only in Beloit which is right on the boarder. My boyfriend John and I are going to drive down early on that Saturday the 31st and then stay over night in a hotel after the wedding. The bride has asked John and I if we would want to stay in a room with her and her soon to be husband and her two friends from Michigan. It would only cost $20 per person and it would make more sense then driving all the way home so late at night after the wedding has finally ended. Apparently there is two double beds and a double sofa bed in the room so that's what we'll be doing. There is going to be about 30 other people staying over at the hotel from the wedding so it should be a fun post reception party as well. The weddings almost here, it is definitely coming up very fast so today I went to best buy and bought a spare battery for my camera. I also got some extra memory cards and I bought my dress for the wedding. I'm praying for no rain because the ceremony and the reception are going to be outdoors at a pavilion.

Back to school

Today was my first day back to school for the start of my summer quarter after a nice three week break. I definitely wasn't ready to go back but I dragged myself out of bed at 6:00 am and some how managed to make it to school. As I was about to drive off I realised I didn't have my student I.D card which is not a good thing because you need that for pretty much anything you do at school. I barley had much time so I quickly ran back inside and shuffled through everything in my room and there was no I.D card! I only keep it in my wallet and I never touch it so I don't know where it could of gotten to.
Anyways, I drive to school and I go to pick up my schedule but since I have no I.D card I cant get my schedule. They tell me to go downstairs and get a temporary I.D card for today so I go and do that and then I go back upstairs and I wait in a huge long line. I get up to the front and they give me a hold sheet which means I have issues with my accounting and payments so I still cant get my schedule until I get that taken care of.
I go back downstairs to accounting and they tell me I need to pay my balance, "why haven't I payed my balance?" They ask me if I'm going to pay it right now and I tell them that I need to talk to my parents first. "You cant continue at this school if its going to be like this, when are you going to make your payment?". Then they wont sign off on my hold so I can get my schedule but instead they make me go to see a financial advisor who just gives me more loan information. We're already on the staford loans, we don't want to be on ten million loans! Will be broke for the rest of our lives!
Anyways, the start to my day was insane and to top it off I have to take physics, ewwwww. However, I'm taking Editorial photography and Digital photographic production so I'm hoping those classes will be fun. Social/Behavioral Science is my fourth class and although I'm not completely looking forward to that, at least it will be better then physics.
