WOW! I can't believe I'm graduating next FRIDAY! aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh... I am so overwelhmed its ridiculous! I have 2 more papers, a portfolio to hand in and a project and then IM DONNEEE... if only it was that easy! On top of that, I need to move AGAIN, so I'm looking for apartments in the Bronx, just one more thing I don't need added onto this stress! I have this cool project I'm working on for my video art class, but I'm kinda doing it for myself too. It's just so random but its hilarious and I can't wait to post it on YouTube and on here! As of right now I really have no projects to post up on here besides my papers and I'm sure you don't wanna read those!:P So for now check out my youtube channel, read my blog, hey follow me on twitter (GraceyyMayy) and continue to watch out for me... and new videos to come!!!

I published an article!

Check it out! I published an article! My father passed away in 2004. He was sober 17 years before he passed and I wrote my senior paper on alcohol addiction and his struggle with it. Let me know what you think!

wait... 3 WEEKS!?

Wow... the pressure is on! It's crazy how overwhelmed I am with work right now. Papers, projects, everything... its too much! I can still see the diploma! uuuughhh I just want it to get here ahora! I sleep well but then the next night I'm just so exhausted from everything. So this Hood Real World thing took unexpected turn, hopefully for the good. I really wanted to do a music video with everyone in it, and my character rapping. But I couldn't get everyone (aka nobody) together to do it. So instead I decided to do an animation of each character in flash, and Ill rap over the animation. So far I think it looks hot but I have a lot of work to do on it and it's just another thing to add to the list. Well I don't have a preview of that so for tonights post I'm gonna throw up the last four videos from the project.

Kaycee:
She's the jock. She beats up on all the guys, and bullies them. She doesn't care too much for the girls, the boys are her target!


Migulito:
He's the immigrant that nobody cares about. He swears everyone is racist against him but they're not! He doesn't really talk to anyone because he's afraid they will offend him.



Carlton:
He's the major druggie. He's always high on something, and if he's not high then he's looking to get high. Oh yeah, did we mention that he DRINKS OUTTA TOLIETS?! grossss



Jaylah:
The gossip girl of the house. She knows everything about every. She's all up in everybody's business, yet she will go crazy if you try and get in hers.



Wow I'm tired! Bedtime!

RAAAHH:)

Hola! So its Wednesday and I'm sooo swamped with work its ridiculous. I have so many papers and projects and they keep on piling up... arrrrrrgh! Okay, so this Hood Real World thing is def. still a work in progress. I want to keep elaborating on it as much as possible. So for this posting I'm gonna post the three best characters. The first one is Maria (played by me... I'm not bias or anything!:P) She's the Italian "rapper" from the South Bronx. She thinks shes a hard ass, and she also thinks EVERYONE likes her. But nobody really does.


The next is Hi-Way. He's the fake thug. He's pretty scary. Always trying to fight someone, but hes on the phone every night crying to his mommy.


And then theres Amber. She's so dumb! She doesn't understand anything at all! Nobody can really have a conversation with her because they don't understand her dumbness!


Thats all for now!

Is it graduation yet?!!!!!!!!!!

Well well well
This week has gone by super fastttttttttttt! I can't wait for graduation! I just wanna start my career and be done with school forever man. I gave up chocolate for lent, and Easter is this Sunday, so I can't wait to eat my face full of chocolate:). I'm really excited about my new job, I just kind of wish I could move out of the Bronx and live in city or Brooklyn, but hey it's a good job and I can't be picky of the location right now. Enough of that, lets see... The hood real world is pretty much finished, its up on youtube. I wasn't satisified with the outcome of all the videos so I taped a couple over and edited others. I'm really not ready to show you the outcome completely yet, hopefully by tonight or tomorrow I will and then I will post the videos on here. So stay tuned and hopefully this weekend I will be posting it up here, as well as some other work.

a job!? A JOB!

Yessss! I got a job for after graduation! I will be working at a marketing company in White Plains training to be a manager! I'm very lucky considering the economy right now. I start two days after graduation so that doesn't give me much of a break, but hey its a job and money! woooo! I'm still working on this the HOOD Real World project, I have more than half the videos up on youtube, and I'm prob. going to finish it this afternoon. It's coming out well, I think I had way higher expectations for it. I didn't want it to just be a class project but something fun I did with my friends. Regardless it'll hopefully be good. So for today I've decided to post a video I did 2 years ago for one of my video classes. It was the first video I ever did so the quality is not great, but heyyyy I'm still proud of it. It's a documentary on my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I'm not longer on medication but during that time I was. I went off my meds just for the week or so while I was filming just to show people how ADD I really was without my medication. Well time to go edit! ENJOYYYYYY!

photography

Tired? Prob the biggest understatement ever! This week has been a mess! I had an interview with a marketing company on monday... went well! Have my second interview tomorrow where I actually shadow somebody for a whole day, so we'll see. I've been getting call backs on my resume, so it's pretty exciting. I just hope I can land one of them.

Anyways, like I said I've been working on this 'Real World' project and as much as I really do want to work on it, I have no time, and when I do
have time I'm so exhausted! Hopefully today I can get a lot of it done. My friends are so great and the characters they play are outrageous, and I can't wait to post it on here!

Well, I've been saying for a while that I would post some of my photography on here so here are two of them...




This one is of a steam pot that's located on my campus. It looks better in the actual picture but I was really proud of this picture and I still really like it.













I'm pretty sure you can tell what this one is without me telling you:P








So, there ya go, a little of my work and some more of what I can do. Can't wait to post my next project! Until then...
