Last week seems like a blur.
One minute I was running around my apartment making sure I had A. enough clothes and B. all my photography equipment while trying to finish up a Fundamentals project, go to class, attend meetings and apply for next semester assistanships. [more on the Fundamentals project later.]
Then I found myself driving [...]

my definition of “passion”
6am. The fire engines sound like they’re inside my house. I opened my eyes to see the house across the street from me billowing with smoke, firemen running around with ladders and hoses.
