Woah.. I can't even begin to explain how quickly this project went by.

I know my last few pictures weren't that fantabulous either, but honestly, THERE'S NO TIME D:

Maybe I need a break from photography?

I didn't really do what I set out to do with this project, and I doubt I'll be able to start actually editing and playing around with editing techniques during this year, but hopefully during breaks I'll be back.

Then again, this project didn't go exactly like I planned just like life doesn't go as planned.

I'll keep taking pictures, I always will and I'll periodically upload pictures from my summer that I didn't get to put up yet.

I'm hoping this next year, that my 17th year, will be as amazing as my sixteenth.

So many things have changed. I'm definitely not the same sixteen year old.
This Thursday, I'm turning seventeen years old. I'm getting my license on Tuesday. Time is going by so damn fast, it's kind of scaring me.

But then again, I'm still where I've been for a while, in my room, on my computer, creeping on Flickr, Facebook and Tumblr.

Anywho, whatever happens this junior year, I'm sure I'll find a way to still have photography a part of my life.

My first week of junior year wasn't that bad.

The first day was especially fun though, just because the seniors all greeted people walking in with blue and white beads and I know a lot of the seniors so they all just made me happy.

IB doesn't seem TOO bad, it's just a little... overwhelming..

Junior year in general seems to be overwhelming... The fact that I'm now an upperclassman just blows my mind.

I'll manage somehow, though :)

For my best friend's sixteenth birthday, we went out for dinner to this Italian restaurant called La Bella Pasteria.

On a sad note, this was my last weekend of summer D:

Let the IB mayhem begin!

I'm quite happy with the way this picture turned out.

This week was one of catching up with friends, going out to lunch with basically all of them everyday, and going on retreat.

I love retreat at the LaSalle Manor. To me, it seems like the middle of nowhere, IL, but I love the peace that comes with that. I also loved the small group I was put into this year, I was put into a group with three of my best friends, and learned a lot about them and about people who I probably wouldn't have bothered learning about.

Coincidently though, even though Plano, IL seems like a quiet town compared to where I live, we drove past seeing some of the set where they're filming the new Superman movie!

It was quite awesome :D

This was my last week in Poland. I tried enjoying it as much as I could, but it's a pretty bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, I was stoked to be going back home- to my mom, friends, etc. But on the other hand saying goodbye to my family, especially my grandma was hard.

That and knowing that I was going back to school was another buzz kill x)
