Wow its been over a month... I'm bad at this.

So I always check Blogspot, but to look at other peoples' blogs and I completely forget I have one of my own to update.

Well the internship is officially over as soon as I write this 2 page reflection paper that should have been turned in a few days ago....

I started an actual job about a month ago working at the South County Picture People. Its definitely not going to be a permanent job, but I'm still not really sure what kind of career path I want to pursue. I think its safe to say kid/family portraits will not be involved. But for now, its good experience and of course, it pays. And the people I work with are all fantastic and hilarious.

Very soon I will become an official college graduate!

Wowwy wow wowza! Its been a while! I keep forgetting to blog. Well, I remember, and then I don't feel like it, and then I forget again. So let's catch up!

And I finished editing Lindsay's pictures and thought I'd make a little trial-header for her blogski


This is what me and Gina do when we get "inspired"


ummm I think that's it! I'll attempt to edit more regularly from now on...maybe.

"By trying you may fail others. By not, you fail yourself."

Hey heyyyy! More slides! But amusing ones :)


Yup, thats me! And that bag has a bra in it. Not mine...and I'm not actually donating it. bwahaha


hahahaha This makes me chuckle. I mean seriously, what do YOU think of when you think of a family choir? The von Trapps, of course!


And I did a fun little photoshoot the other day with the beautiful Lindsay for her blog, Girl With Blue Balloon



And I made this cover for an info packet...or booklet...or something

I got into a tiff with the vending machine today. It wouldn't give me my Milky Way. Jerk!

Strange Happenings

Poor Gina's back gave out on her so today I just went in and edited a baptism video that she was going to work on today. Video isn't really my thang, but its fun to do every once in a while. :)

I keep falling behind!


Another slide! Ok, confession. I do enjoy making slides. Its good practice to keep my photoshop skillz sharp and to learn more tricks of the trade.

And I think I already said this, but SCCC is revamping the youth department and our transitional phase is going to be called The 7. Its seven weeks where we break out into seven different small groups. And then after that seven weeks we start the new revamped youthiness.
But I worked on the logo and this is what I came up with:

without info

and with info

it reminds me of a combination of 7up and Tide....what do you think?

Whoops forgot to blog yesterday!

Not that anyone is really paying attention :P
Yesterday I made another, yup you guessed it, a slide!

(please don't email, I know you're tempted)
I also learned the process of recording the baptism videos and burned some more DVDs.

Its been a crazy week. First my CD drive and then my dog. We had to take her to the emergency vet Tuesday night and she needed emergency surgery for a thing called bloat (google it), but she should be coming home tonight! Let's look at a picture of Paige now:

She was barking at me. So cute.

Lots of exciting (and some not-so-exciting) things coming up! Our church is "revamping" most of the youth department and big changes are happening. It'll be great!

Holla!

I never really know what to say in the title...

Worked on a slide advertising for Deloy's dad coming to preach this weekend!

I'm stoked to see the Cole clan again :)

I made some more DVD menus today. We're working on a graphic for the photo team Gina started last summer called Reflecting His Image. We've reached a wall, but it will be sweet once we finish it!

Ummmm what else did I do... I ate a Snickers bar.... whoa I just had deja vu. Still working on those pictures! And I still need a job... :)

My Internship Is Better Than Your Internship

Feel free to disagree, but you don't get to hang out with Gina Crawford all day.

Gina decided that part of my internship is spending quiet time with God on my own somewhere. Its pretty sweet, except today I was half asleep so that was dangerous, but I made it through. :)

I'm going to stop counting days because I do some work at home too and then I just get really confused on which day is what and whatever and whatnot and suchforth.

Today I just worked on designing DVD menus and the DVDs themselves. And I found out that my CD drive isn't working so I have an appointment at the Apple store today at 3:30 to get it fixed. Awesome. I needed to go there and get new headphones anyway, but a broken CD drive does not please me.

Day 3 - More Slides

Yep. More slides! And finished ones this time...well kind of.

Finished the guys' Bible study slide and made one for the girls':

...this reminds me of a Venus commercial

Only a couple more slides left, then I get to move on to other stuff. Yippee. I started editing pictures, but there's no fun ones to post yet!

Day 2 - The Official First Day

Yo. Just made some more slides today. Nothing too exciting...like:
Revolution is the guys' Bible study. Its not done because we didn't have the details for it, but there it is!

I had my first "paid photography gig" over the weekend. A group of 20 couples renewed their vows and they wanted someone to take some photos so I volunteered! I haven't had a chance to edit any of them yet, but I may post a couple soon. Maybe.

kthxbye!

Day #1 - 5 hours

Today wasn't really a scheduled event, but I wanted to visit Gina and she wanted my help. So...I came up at 2. It is now 7:15. WOW I've been here for 5 hours? And all I made was 2 slides. Whatevs. Check it...



That second one is still bugging me, but Gina likes it. She already has a list of things for me to accomplish. Sweet. Geez if I spend 5+ hours up here everyday I'll crank out 240 hours in no time.


Me "working hard" with Gina, Ryan, and Katy in the background

Hopefully I'll have more interesting things to say one day...

Welcome!

So, I'm interning at South County Christian Center this summer and working with the wonderful Gina Crawford! I have to keep some sort of journal to help me write my "reflection paper" when I'm done, so I figured, 'Hey, let's make a blog!'

This will probably be really boring...
