What's On My Desk


From where I am sitting (which is in the vicinity of my desk) here's what I see. My politics books all held by a book stand and my (awfully tall) coffee mug from Starbucks and a framed photo of my boyfriend and I. This time I tried to use a different ISO level of 400 and with only the windows open (no lighting at all). I was quite surprised about the quality as it was not that bright but the photo came out well!

After A Day Working on the Hill



After a day working on Capitol Hill, my friend Ashley (top picture) is excited to show off her work as she spent nearly the entire day reorganizing the supply closet. We also decided to take a picture together (center) and as we left Longworth House Office Building, the US Capitol bid us farewell as we headed home!

Walking Away


This photo was taken outside of Hannan Hall as I was on my way back to my room. I tried to capture a candid photo by taking it behind the subjects and without their knowing. Anyways, what I found interesting is the fact that they both were carrying bags, which kinda mirrored their action.

Capitol Mural


This painting can be found in the ceiling in one of the hallways of the Capitol. It depicts the US colonies during the time of the American Revolution.

Deadlines, Deadlines Everywhere


I am currently facing deadlines; everywhere I go, I things are due. On one hand, I have law school applications due during the span of March--April. However, on the other hand, I have papers and random assignments due for other classes. Other than that, my life is full of deadline and various items of the sort. That's why it's important to stay cool under pressure or else I'll crash and burn.

Crystal Light


I was visiting my boyfriend, who was in studio all day on Saturday after I took the LSATs, and what caught my attention was this plexi-glass sculpture that was created by using laser cutters. It was used as a decorative fixture in the main hallway of Crough. The reason why I loved it is how the light entered into the room and was intensified by the plastic.

Sweet Suitemate


This is my suitemate, Jane. She is a junior media studies major and is from FL, like me! She is one cool girl. I used a different ISO setting (400) to take the shot and it actually came out accurate, especially the colors/lighting.
