Welcome to my Life


Hey everyone! I would like to start my blog by telling you all a little bit about myself...
       My name is Anna, Anna Marie Ballman to be exact. I am a sophomore in college originally from Dennison, Minnesota, studying at the University of Wisconsin: River Falls. I signed up to do an exchange program (National Student Exchange) all the way over here in Maryland for a number of reasons.  Mostly, I wanted to get away from home to become more independent and fearless. My major is in Marketing Communications, but I'm not exactly sure what I want to do or be when I 'grow up'. I am hoping that moving away from home in the Midwest to live on the East Coast will help me find myself in a way, and point me in the right direction.

       I have never blogged before, and this semester I have two separate blogs to do!  Other than blogging for the assignments that we have, I would like to use this blog to document my experiences and adventures while here in Maryland and on the East Coast.  I love playing around with photography, so I am going to post some of my work and see how it progresses as I learn more about different styles.   Using my blog to display my photography will encourage me to work on my photography and editing. 

       What is everyone looking forward to this semester? I am excited to learn and get to know everyone in class. I was excited to hear there are other people into photography in class, I love photography and got started in it about a year ago. I'm still learning the ropes, so to speak, but I think I've got a good start to it.  I'd love to see someone's work sometime!
       Until next time!
