- developing a photography portfolio
- get some writing done that can be used as good samples, preferably concentrating on a specific category of reporting or similar style
Neither of those would be very difficult if I could actually get my act together and just do it. The photography is theoretically easier, but most of my work lacks portraits.... or humans. This is mostly an artistic choice, and I stand by it. But, if I would like to possibly submit the portfolio in hope of finding work then I really need to get some good "people shots." I would also need a better camera..... or perhaps I would be better suited to learn some editing techniques and start touching up my current work.
Things I NEED to do, rather than want to:
Take my GRE.... study for my GRE.... sign up for a fucking date to take my GRE.
Obviously not quite in that order. I'm still moderately dreading it. Plus I'm double bad at studying without a deadline. I work well under pressure, extremely well in many cases. Without that pressure I simply don't work... not very productive there. So, the new plan is to see how far in advance I can schedule my GRE test date. That way I will be forcing myself into a deadline, but I will also still be giving myself as much time as I can spare. I need to get my application together for submission by September. I still need to email two Poli Theory profs and cross my fingers, too. Then I need to eventually find my 3rd recommendation letter....
*le sigh*
And now, a picture that makes anyone feel better:
The gorgeous Deborah Ann Woll, as True Blood's Jessica Hamby.
