The beginning!

Well, here I am! Starting a blog... weiirrdd. Lately I haven't even felt like I've had much to say. This is a normal, right? Feel less like talking so start a page that's made for users to...*cough*... talk. Things haven't really been going my way and the old tried-and-true methods for picking myself up aren't holding so 'true' anymore. I plan to use this blog as a way to keep my ass in check. Even if there's a week where I only post about stuff at school or just random photos it's a win. 

To start this spiel, I'm asking for suggestions! I've been a super slacker for putting together a website-portfolio-thing since I started it over the summer =[. I have a zillion photos to go through and I'm worried it'll look wicked stupid if I only have like 10-20 pics up. 

So.. the question is.. should I just say screw it and put up a rinky-dink site with only a few samples of my work or wait until I go through what I have and make it look complete before launching it? 
Once everything is sorted I will be watermarking everything to be posted. I have a bunch of ideas for watermarks (and yes, I know I'm probably thinking too much about it- it's a freaking watermark!) but any suggestions would be appreciated. =)

For now, I should start chipping away at homework. I can't believe it's November!!! Research papers, projects, presentations, all the huge end-of-term work is due way sooner than I'm ready! That's all on top of the normal weeks' assignments that got behind weeks ago that I haven't even caught up on yet! 

I haven't been on my A-game in a long while. There's been a lot going on and there's plenty of reasons. I'm not dodging blame at all, I should always be able to pull it together and fulfill my obligations, particularly to school. Especially when I'm only there to better myself. I was so overwhelmed by the lot of it I couldn't focus on one thing at a time. It's not uncommon for me to feel like that but it was at a destructive point where I couldn't even let myself take out my books to work on one thing without thinking about everything else that had to be done (even basic house chores) and just freaking out. 
A few days ago it clicked that my priorities - as far as school stuff went - were all out of whack. I'm in the same boat in my other classes as photography. That, in itself, is a problem. I know I love photography, I know I want to learn everything I can about it and yet taking pictures wound up in the same pile as reading a textbook or writing an essay. Maybe that's normal for some people; getting so caught up in stuff that needs to be done that you lose sight of what you want to do. I've been in situations like this before at school and it hasn't ended favorably. It's bullshit and I'm not letting it happen again.
Here's hoping a little blog will help get my ass in gear.
