Aaand we're back... ish.

Finally, the quarter is over and I took my token "by myself week" to re-coup. Although, this break isn't really a break since I'm going to be busy working on my school issued portfolio site. I have to have it in order by the first or second week of October so that I can be eligible for quarter away (kind of a study abroad thing). Sigh, but enough about business.

I managed to go to an old friend's wedding this weekend and man, it was so fun. It was really really great. Although it was tinged with a great deal of sadness because her mother had just passed, but it went off like she would have wanted so.. Anyway...

Watch

I stopped wearing watches a very long time ago. I think it was a combination of things. The battery ran out and I was lazy, I didn't appreciate watch tan lines, I have a cell phone.. The list goes on. However, I was perusing a magazine the other day and fell in love.


So I got it. There. It's a serious "boyfriend" watch, I know. I've never really liked girly ones, so..

Baaack!

I'm back from my mountain escapade! It was fantastic! I loved it so much that as soon as I make enough money for a summer house I want to have one there, or in some rural forested area. The weather was lovely, the air was different, there were animals everywhere and people were actually -NICE. It really puts things in perspective when you can slow down the frantic pace. I also saw fireflies for the first time!! Mesmerizing! I took tons of pictures, but only managed to edit four since we got in at 7am Tuesday, and I had class at 9am. We drove 14 hours, I did not rest. I havent really been able to rest tho, since I started the crazy Hero's quarter at school. It's crazy but it's been greaaat! My team won the class challenge! wooo!! not bad for concepting/researching/comping in two days. This quarter I will be burning the candle at both ends, but it's gonna be gooooood!!

Wah

I got my Lumix and it's fabulous, but it's got so much stuff going on it's going to take me a bit. I do like that you can completely customize it. It also has a bunch of settings like, "baby, pinhole etc".

I also got my school schedule, and just found out I have a class that meets twice instead of once. Which, while not a change to my current schedule, I kind of expected to make a little more money by working a few more hours.. Man, I gotta finalize that loan, for real.

I'm also trying to see if I can pick up my 365 or something like it, and by something like it I mean something more "less committed" like maybe Pink Tuesdays.. who knows. But I do want to take more pictures, I loove this camera.

Were also going to be driving up to North Carolina for the 4th. Road Triiip!

More Summer Fun!

Well, not so much fun, as keeping busy. I decided to make use of stuff I had laying around. And viola! jewelry! Note on the earrings, I am aware the leaves are different shades of green, I was thinking of making them match, but then one broke, I may just swap the dark green one for the blue green and make them match, but I dunno, I kind of like it mismatched.. Anyway, I feel mentally energized which is good for the coming quarter -unlike last quarter which was just the worst for me... I cant wait to see what happens...

Me Update

I've finally had some time to de-compress from the quarter/work combo. For the first time in a while I am not feeling so anxious. However, I am a neurotic individual, so I will soon find something to be apprehensive about (or the lack of it). I also splurged and got myself a camera I couldn't afford. It's a Lumix! Mostly I'm digging it because of the Leica Connections and because it's the best compact camera around (supposedly, and debatable I'm sure)..


But hey, at least I'll take more pics, since I wont have to lug around the 40D anymore. Hopefully I'll have pictures to show by next posting (I got the expedited shipping). Anyway, I hope you're having a great summer so far! :P!

Lately

The end is nigh! the quarter is ending, only to begin again all too soon.

Happy Birthday! -NOT.

So, Friday was my birthday. It was great, the whole weekend. EXCEPT, for that I had to go to the dentist and I had a cleaning. I hadn't been to the hygienist for like -ever- years even. And NOW I have to be on a treatment for a week to get my teeth/gums clean like they are supposed to be.. :( So far so good though. The only drawback is that the mouthwash I am on makes things taste strange... Never again will I miss an appointment. Never again.. :(
