I feel like this blog needs a bit of introduction. "In With The New" is a project I've launched where I've decided to chronicle new experiences. I often find myself in a rut--wake up, go to school, go to work, go home, eat, do homework, go to bed. But I know there's more to life that the same three streets I always drive on, and I want to get out the same old, same old. I also fancy myself an amateur photographer, but I know there's no way I'll be able to continue photographing regularly with my busy schedule if I don't go new places and try new things to find subjects that I'm inspired by. With that being said, these "new things" don't have to be big. I just hope "In With The New" will help me recognize that I actually see and do new things all the time, which will help the rut stop getting deeper.
To start off, one of the new things I did today was drive on two new freeways. It sounds silly, but when you're 15 and only started driving in July, it's a big deal. I've previously taken 217 for a short distance, but today I mustered up the courage to drive on I-5 and I-84. I managed to drive all the way out to the Portland International Airport, which, if you ask me, is quite the feat. I did something else for the first time today too, but I want that to be its own post. It deserves it.
