august // the daily photograph

 
I orignially was going to do a photo-a-day project in July. I was all set to start on July 1st. But one day I realized I had lost track of the date:

"Mom, what's the date today?" 

"Let's see...it's July 2nd."

 "WHAT?!??! NO!!! PLEASE NO!"

 I couldn't bring myself to start on July 2nd. It just seemed completely and utterly wrong.

 So I decided to wait 'til August 1st. And thankfully I didn't miss it and I remembered to take a photo. I'll be posting my daily photos at least once a week. I haven't been doing as much photography as I used to, and I hope this will get me back in the habit of constantly taking photos! Here are todays and yesterdays:

 

   
 Two of my favorite things: Pink roses and old books :)

 A bit of a catch-up: I've been frantically trying to finish school before summer ends so I can start next years school on time. It's a bit stressful. Also, unfortunately, there's not quite as much blogging time as I previously thought (read: practically no blogging time whatsoever). Although the doing school til (sometimes) past 8:30 part is not very fun, I have been doing some fun stuff on weekends. I just pretend that my weekends are my real summer holidays, so I try to fit as much in as I can. Going places, reading books on my summer reading list, going on walks, re-decorating my room, making crafts & baking - all my favorite summery things. So other than having no blog time, it's not been that bad at all. #optimism #whenlifegivesyoulemons (yes, those are hash-tags. In a blog post. I decided to bring those into the blogging world. You're so welcome.)

 Back soon with my daily photos!
