go on to photography school? - thankful for

-
it has always been my full intention to finish high school only to then continue working whichever job i have, save up my money, and then buy a house, get married and start a family. however, those of you who really know me lately will be aware of the fact that love taking pictures. my old phone was the most amazing phone ever, simply because it allowed me to take some pretty great pictures. what i loved about having that phone was that it was so tiny i could take it absolutely wherever. not always true for a camera. but, as all things do, this phone died. so of late i havent been taking as many pictures. i miss it. thats the most simple, straight-forward, honest truth ever. its like, half of me is missing. haha okay maybe not quite that bad but i honestly really wish i had something that would allow me to continue taking pictures.
so anyways, lately ive been contemplating continuing on to some sort of photography school. or at least take a course in photography so that i can improve. way improve. i need the help. the only problem is the closest college i could find offering a photography course is in calgary. thats two hours away. not exactally close. so i would be needing a place to rent or something. which is where my money problem comes in. not to mention id be leaving dan for way too long. he already said i should go and that i can come visit and that he will definitely come visit. but while part of me wants to go, part of me is saying, "jess. forget it. its just another one of your stupid dreams." so in other words, part of me doesnt want to go. not really. my problem is, which side is pulling harder? and am i even any good?!
and so im coming to you. the three pictures at the top of this post were pictures i myself have taken. yup, me! :) im pretty proud of some of my pieces, especially those three. ive even entered the top one in a photo contest, although there were way better pictures and it didnt win :( but theres always way more contests.
as well, two of my "thirty till may 2010" items are picture related. or well, could be. one definitely is and the other one.. well thats what got me started wondering if i should continue on to photography school. (#17: enter at least two of my pictures in photo contest; #14: take a course in something that interests me)
anyways, back to you. please let me know honestly what you think of those pictures, as well as what you think about what i should do. im still not sure if i really do want to go or if its a passing thought, but your opinion matters.
so... let me know!! thanks :)

o. and as a side note, im thankful for getting the chance to see oma and taunte nel again! :) however, not so thankful for the piles of snow we got last night! ill have pictures of that for you 2mrw! and i am not kidding when i say piles. it makes me sad to remember the fact that yesterday i was wearing flip flops and a short sleeve shirt. and now today.. back to the boots and long sleeves :( ugh!
