Hey everyone! My first photoshoot was today! My photographer was Sophia and the pictures were taken at her house and by the park near her house. We did a casual set and a Lolita set. I'm very happy with how my casual photos turned out. As for the Lolita set, well... we were a little pressed for time and Sophia's hand was getting a little shaky, but the blur on some of the photos actually looks pretty good. Either this weekend or sometime next week I'll have another photoshoot with Sophia to re-do the Lolita set. Tomorrow I'll upload both sets after I finish photoshopping a few of the Lolita pictures. The casuals don't need any editing, but I'm going to clean up a few of the Lolita pics. If I had the time I'd do it right now and upload them afterwards, but I'm exhausted and I have school in the morning. I did manage to go through both sets and delete any unwanted photos, which thankfully makes the editing and upload process a lot faster for me. The photoshoot I have planned with Brandon will probably be scheduled for this weekend. Last weekend was out because it was Mother's Day.

Aaaaand good news on my cosplay. I finally finished calculating my expenses yesterday night for AWA. I'll be cosplaying as Sexy no Jutsu Kakashi and Sailor Pluto. Sarah Kerrigan will have to wait for another AWA and Poison Ivy was dropped due to me no longer taking my bestfriend, who was going to be Harley Quinn. I calculated how much money I'll be spending, what it'll be spent on, when it'll be spent, an estimated time arrival on when my items being ordered online will arrive, and a time line on when and how my costumes will be made and finished. Everything is final, no more changes will be made. I'm running on a tight schedule so I'm crossing my fingers and praying no more left curves are thrown at me for the next four months.

As for other important events, I have half of my college plans finished. All I have to do now is fill out applications and turn them in before their due dates... along with crossing my fingers. Thankfully with all the scholarships and grants I apply for, along with one loan, I will hardly have to pay for college out of my own pocket. Everything right now, photoshoot wise, cosplay wise, college wise, and personal wise, is on a set schedule and is going as planned and so perfect right now. In my family life, everything is great. A lot of stress has been lifted off of me in the past week and I can finally relax a little now. I'm a lot happier, and I've been needing it.

My sweetheart is going to be visiting me tomorrow, so I'm really looking forward to spending time with him and getting to show him my senior graduation and photoshoot pictures. After I get my photos uploaded we'll probably eat dinner then curl up and watch a movie for the rest of the night. I'm going to go to bed now, I'm really exhausted and I think I've rambled enough. Be on the look out for my photoshoot pictures tomorrow!
