So I dropped out of school today. It finally got to the point that I just could not do it anymore. The cost, the time...but not the work. That's what is killing me. The actual work was fine. It was hard, but I was doing it. It was a matter of the school's equipment being faulty every single time I got it. I would get it all home, set it up, something was always broken. I made at least 5 trips up there every week, and it's an hour away. Plus the fact that I got kicked off campus the other day trying to print something because I had Avery with me didn't help. I know it's against the rules, but there is no way I can not have her with me every single time I have to go to campus. I never even tried to take her to class, just to print. I had done this probably 6 or 7 times and no one said anything, but it only took one person to make it clear that I can't do that. I am going to keep shooting as much as I can (I get to keep the camera, but I'll be paying student loans for a long long time) and I will still try to do things for money on the side so I can get more equipment so I can start really doing more professional type things. A lady in one of my classes also withdrew this week, and she has asked me to help her on any weddings or large shoots she does so hopefully that will pan out and I will be able to really get my foot in the door. I really do want to get back into school, but it is really starting to look like that won't happen until Avery is in school full time or we are back around more family that can help. I just know I need to keep what is important in perspective:
