Life Update: Summer Countdown


Today was my last day of school!! The only stress related thing I have to deal with is the ACT's, but I'm taking them on Sunday and then thats over as well. I am so ready for summer to start, and there are so many things that I am looking forward to doing. Here is a little update on my summer, and a countdown for all the fun things I will be doing.


Countdown #1: Camera Lens

For a while I have had my eye on a new camera lens. I only have the standard lens that my camera came with, but I saved up to finally get a 50mm lens. I am totally in love with the idea of taking portraits, but I haven't had the right tools to do so. Hopefully I will be able to get my lens before I head off to New York. Which brings me to the next countdown.


Countdown #2: New York Internship


This summer is the first summer in seven years that I won't be spending at camp. It is kinda sad, but mostly really exciting because I have the amazing opportunity of interning in New York City!! I am working in Soho at Exposure NY, a photographer and stylist agency. I am mostly going to be working on the photography angle of it, but I'm not sure exactly what my job will be. I am going to be working for a month, and during that time I will be living with my Grandma in New Jersey. It is going to be really wonderful spending that much time with her, but that also means that a lot of my time will be spent commuting to the city and back. Overall, I am extremely excited to be spending my summer in New York, and I can't wait for the experiences that will come along with it.


Countdown #3: Book of Mormon


Since I will be in New York, it only seems right to see a show on broadway. As a kid I used to see musicals with my Grandma all the time, but I haven't seen many recently. I have heard so mush about Book of Mormon and basically begged my Grandma to take me to see it. I have been listening to one song from the show over and over again and I am so so so excited to finally see it!! 


Countdown #4: Bermuda


After my internship is over, my Grandma and I are going on a cruise to Bermuda. I haven't been on cruise in years, but after my last year of middle school we decided that we would go on a cruise together. It has only taken us this long to actually find time to do this. But its happening, and I can't wait to take some tropical pictures after a month of photos from the city.


Countdown #5: My Birthday 

Of course, I'm counting down to my birthday...8.16.1998


Countdown #6: Working at Aviary


Then when I finally return to Boston, in order to keep myself busy I am going to be working at my photography teacher's gallery 'Aviary'. I have worked their a bit before, but this year we are planning on doing a lot of exciting photo related things. Its gonna be a ton of fun!!
