After going on a lot, and a lot, and lot of adventures in this wonderful life of mine, I realize that I am not the best at blogging about them. Sure, I occasionally posted raw, unedited images from these adventures right after I got back from them or maybe blogged about them a long time ago, but most of you have probably never seen what came of them. Some of these adventures, especially if they are from over-seas, were never shown on my blog after I edited them. So I've decided to make a series of blog posts in honor of my adventures. These blog posts may be from Africa or Europe or Mexico or might even be up the road in the Rocky Mountains or possibly even from my backyard. Wherever they, near or far, they all tell a little story about myself and remind me of the great times I've gotten to spend exploring this incredibly world that we live in through the lens of my camera. All these little adventures have a special place in my heart, and that is why I am going to share them with you! First up is a little country that goes by the name of Bulgaria. Have you ever been there? I chose to start off my Adventure Series with this beautiful country because it is one of my all time favorite places I have ever been in the entire world. It's a place filled with beautiful landscapes, wonderful people, loving children, and lots and lots of sunflowers. I hope you enjoy!

I also couldn't resist posting a few photos of me while I was there. I spent my time in Bulgaria tasting fresh honey, going on a jeep safari, playing with the beautiful, fun kiddos at the orphanage, and let's not forget, taking a MUD BATH! Oh how I wish I could go back!

Yesterday registration for classes on the boat opened. Opening at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, I got on to register a little late. I guess I should have gotten up at 6:30 am to register, but I had no idea that some classes would be so popular. By the time I logged on, at 8:30 mountain time, two hours after registration opened, all of the classes I wanted to take were already full. But I decided to make the best of it. Even though I am incredibly bummed out that I do not get to take drawing, and that I am now stuck taking really hard classes that won't even transfer to the Art Institute (I am a photography major after all), I still think I will learn a lot. In fact, I better I learn a lot considering my textbooks cost almost three hundred dollars. So here are my classes: Global Studies Art of the Mediterranean, Water Supply and Sanitation, and I figured I better take Elementary Spanish... After all I am going to Barcelona!! Even though I didn't get my first choice classes, the more I think about the more I think I will enjoy the classes I got into. Hopefully I will learn a lot! I am now one step closer to leaving for SAS!
