Last weekend my baby sister Maya went to her high school prom. It seems like she’s grown up so much since I left for Miami three years ago and her maturity amazes me everyday. I still see her as my baby sister, new to the teenage world and naïve in every sense of the word, but in reality she will be leaving for college in a few short months.
Here I am, sitting in the newsroom on a Sunday afternoon, at our second to last deadline for The Miami Hurricane. Tomorrow starts the last week of classes and then what? I’m a senior? I only have one year left of school? That is insane. I feel like I just came to UM. I’ve learned so much and been to so many places, yet I still feel like I’ve just begun!
It’s been busy the last couple weeks and I won’t really get a break until after finals so I must apologize for my lack of posts. Even though I’m not posting, I am still shooting daily so check out my Tumblr, and I will be updating this blog with a multitude of posts in the second week of May.
CORAL GABLES, FL Mar. 30th 2013: Last Saturday afternoon I went to my first Holi festival of colors. Holi is an Indian celebration for the arrival of spring. About 100 students celebrated it at UM with the throwing of colored powder and water. To prepare for the potential mess, my roommate and I covered our cameras in plastic ziplock bags. I’m so glad we did because that would not have been a fun clean up!
My semester at UM is getting pretty busy, so my blog posts may be few and far between, but I’m hoping to get something up each week.
Junior Gabriel Flores competed in a match on Friday versus Victor Valente of Georgia State. Flores lost the match, but the Canes won overall improving their record to 12-5. The Miami Hurricanes are ranked #65 nationally. This weekend the Canes take on Boston College at the Neil Schiff stadium in Coral Gables.
Tennis is one of my favorite sports to photograph. The players don’t move as far as in other sports, and make the funniest expressions during their matches.
CORAL GABLES, FL Mar. 17th 2013: About 250 people “Packed the BUC” on Sunday night to welcome the Miami Hurricanes Men’s Basketball team home after their win of the ACC Tournament. The Canes also won the ACC Regular Season with a record of 15-3 and 28-6 overall.
