Two Weeks' Notice

So the semester here at school is ending, which means I will be moving on and finding a job at home again. I have mixed feelings about going back to Spokane. I am excited to be with my family and friends from home. And I am excited for the things I have planned for the Fall. However, I am going to miss terribly just being at school. I will miss learning, meeting new people, the independence factor, and having spirituality conveniently placed before me. It's easy to get on a spiritual high being at a church school. I'm going to try not staying on a spiriutal plateau, but to continue increasing while at home. I'll have to look for it more, but that'll make it more the worth it, I think.

One thing that I am nervous as heck about is snatching a decent job. I want a photography job. It's time to start working on my career and increase my abilities for the future. I know that I could get a job at Kiddie Kandids or JC Penny Photo Studio pretty easily... anyone could. You don't need any experience. That's the one thing that isn't appealing about those places. I want to learn new things, not start over. My dad suggested to me to make a resume, dress professionally and walk into one of those photography studios that do senior pictures and weddings and what-not, and pretty much ask for an internship. And if they like me, they can hire me on. The plus is that I have some experience, and my major is photography, so that might be a good incentive for them to consider me. But... going in and asking for that even if they're not accepting anyone right now scares me a ton. Then I think about it... what's the worst that could happen? They could say "no." Then I woud move on and try someone else. And if all else fails, I'll have Kiddie Kandids.
A year ago, I never ever ever would've done something like that. There's a reaosn I want to be a free-lance photographer. There is not a lot of confrontation or intimidating situations. So I will most likely end up doing this. I just hope and pray that I will find something. I can't imagine how amazing of an experience that would be working in a professional studio, when I'm still in the early stages of my learning of photography. But I am willing to learn and grow.
