Tick tock...

Oh goodness, the panic is starting to set in. I know that I should definitely be concentrating more on my General Education classes like New Testament and Geography, but no. I'm more worried about my photo application. The due date is coming up soon guys!! All of a sudden November is half way over!!
BTW, on the 15th is my BESTEST BESTEST FRIENDS BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTNEY!!!
Okay, so anyways, the final entry date for the application is the 30th of November. AcK! I only have 8 photos! Well maybe 9, but I want to replace one. I'm dealing with the necessity to have some shoots.
This application is crucial everyone. It's this or bust. Either I get in or I don't, forever. :( I think I have the right to be scared a little bit. I know that I have good images. Better than others. And luckily all of the professors have said that I have a voice, concepts, creativity, and all have said that for my level I do exceptionally well.
But that's doesn't help when it comes to competition. What if everyone else has amazing pieces? It's hard to think that maybe even my best ideas will not be good enough.
I have a 1 in 15 chance. Will I be good enough? Oh goodness....
Okay so here are the alternatives. I was thinking that Graphic Design would be fun. But I can't draw for my life.
Also, I would love to do Broadcast Journalism or Film, but those require applications as well. And by the end of my application processes of those, I'd be graduating.
Then there's this.
Sadly this beautiful luscious photo is not mine. But it portrays the very thing I would like to do if not Photography. Patisserie and Baking.
There is not a major for culinary arts here at BYU but there is the Food Science major. I hate Science, but I LOVE food! I think that I could look over the whole science thing. :p
Food science majors, I hear, go on to be chefs as well as other scientific things dealing with food. I really want to take some patisserie classes and learn how to makes desserts like cakes, pies, tarts (especially raspberry ones as seen above) and chocolates. I could even open up a small dessert cafe and take my own photos!
But for now, the Photo program is my goal. And I really need to get in.

  2. I think it's perfectly fine to be focusing more on your photo app than your gen eds. Nobody focuses on gen eds, really. As long as you can get an A or B in them while you're not focusing on them, you should be fine...

    Don't be nervous about your application! You'll do fine. You take very good, thoughtful, and creative photos. Promise.

    You know, Spencer, the East Coast is a wonderful place to open up a Pattiserie or Bakery, particularly in the cities. Just sayin'....
