My vision of the future has suddenly changed today. I don't know if it's just a brief thought. After attending Gallery Night in Milwaukee's Third Ward I kind of took a step back and looked at the past five years of my life. I feel like I could have achieved something bigger, explored more exciting places in the US or other countries, and met more interesting, creative people. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy and appreciate my time at UW Milwaukee or feel grateful for the people I've met. I just think I need to do something bigger.
Up until today I said I never wanted to attend graduate school, but now I'm thinking it might be the next step. I really want to throw myself into what I'm doing and I want to be excited about it and share it with others. I was researching art schools for graduate programs. I started in Chicago because I figured it was close enough to home and I enjoy Chicago. But then I stumbled upon Corcoran College of Art + Design and found a New Media Photojournalism program in DC. It sounds so amazing. A former high school classmate goes there and said so many good things about it. There are opportunities to intern with The Washington Post or National Geographic. If I want to do something big, I'm going to have to take the steps to get there.
I want to do something I haven't done before. Study in a different state far from home. I want an experience and I want to meet people that are going to bring me to life. So I'm thinking my plan for the next year is my internship at Madison Magazine, then possibly I'll become employed there, hopefully. Otherwise I'll search for photography/journalism jobs around the Madison area, or in Milwaukee, or maybe even Chicago.

Right now will be my most calm part of the day.
I can't believe it's already the middle of April. My professor's weren't joking when they said time would fly and it'd be opening night already. When April got here I said, ok - now I need to start finalizing things. I've had a combination of slacking and being extremely busy and time literally flew by and now I'm rushing to get my photos printed and framed by the 26th. I need to get artist statement as solid as possible. I need to start working on my research paper. Then add on top of all that I have to photograph "green spaces" and Gallery Night for my internship! Oh, and other homework too... I'm horrible at time management so...
On the bright side the first show is April 29th - three weeks away. But we technically have to be completed with everything for both shows by the 26th. The second show is May 21st. Classes are over in a month. I graduate May 22nd. Then it's summer and I start a NEW photography internship at Madison Magazine.
I'm really excited for everything even though I definitely could have worked harder for this all to go a bit smoother. I haven't made it yet but I'm still proud.
