Houses and Jobs and Stress...Oh my!!

Last Wednesday I was able to go up to Grande Prairie to do some major job searching since I'm 4 weeks away from graduation (yikes!) I dropped off sooooo many resumes and was actually quite disappointed when I left that no one had phoned me before I left town. Feeling a bit defeated, I drove back to Edmonton for a one day school week (and you're asking what I need to be stressed about? haha :) Well it turned out to be a very busy week indeed! In three weeks, I have to hand in a complete business plan for a photographic studio that is run by myself and two classmates. We just started working on this plan yesterday...yikes. Then today, I received an email from a studio in Grande Prairie wanting to do an interview on Thursday (SO good but also yikes!) Which means I needed to get all 4 of my projects that are due this week done and handed in by 4 pm today (I received confirmation of the interview at 1 this aft.) So I quickly got all my stuff together and got to my school by 3:30. Unfortunately the computer lab at school closes at 4, which means I had to book it! I had to hand in two projects (luckily digitally) print another project, and hand in my portfolio all in a half hour. It was quick! BUT I was able to get it done! Then tomorrow I have a demo at a studio in town on doing a glamour portrait, and then I head to GP wednesday Afternoon, stay the night, go to my interview on Thursday, drive back to Edmonton, do Laundry and pack on Friday and drive to Medicine hat on saturday for two weeks! *phew* Anyways, without boring you guys with my future plans, prayer that the job interview goes well. I don't think I could do another year away from GP. I need to get a job!

Clara's Birthday

We had the pleasure of going back to GP this weekend to attend a family friend's 65th birthday party. It was a really great weekend! She had a music night with many musical acts. The Kennedy's played and she had her family do a few songs and they were all so good! She also called my mom awhile ago and asked if Logan and I would do a song that we did before I moved to Edmonton, so we did! We were unfortunately only able to practice for not even an hour, so we didn't do as good as we could have, but it was still fun! We were both pretty nervous too! Anyways, here's the video so you can see for yourselves. This version of "On Christ the Solid Rock" was arranged by Janna McPhee.

Photo Blog

Hey Everyone!
I started a blog specifically for my photography that will include all the goings on of my photography life! I think at this point I have decided to jump into photography with both feet once I'm done school, so I'm kinda panicking! But I figure I'm one of those people that if I don't do it now, I won't do it at all! So here's to being successful! Anyways, the address for my photo blog is www.karilynn-photo.blogspot.com Check it out and let me know :)
