School
School has started up again. I really wasn't prepared to go
back. I hadn't even bought the supplies I need. Luckily
this week started off slow. But if I'm really this lazy by the
beginning of the semester, it doesn't bode well for around
mid-semester. Hopefully, I'll just get into a better groove as
time goes on. As a bonus, I only have class Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays and my Friday class is "beers," so I'm not too panicky
about passing that class. :P
I also got a wifi connector for my Nintendo DS. Now people can visit my little town in Animal Crossing. They didn't sell it at any of the gamestores here, so I had to buy it online. It wasn't too bad though. Got it all hooked up and everything now. It just made me realize what a useless pile of shit the mall is. Actually, most stores are useless wastelands. I went to Borders the other day to get a few books I needed for school, books I had assumed they'd have because mythology like... oh... OVID'S METAMORPHASIS should be in stalk, right? OF COURSE NOT! So, after looking up to see if they had ANY of the books I needed (they didn't have ONE), I just left. Sure, I could order the book online from your store, or order it myself for cheaper AND have it shipped faster. Yeah, I went with the latter. Oh, and that reminds me... I was looking for a tiger calandar for 2006. Not any specific one, just a calandar with tiger pictures in it. I go Barns and Noble, nothing, I go to the mall, nothing. Of course they don't have it... but they do have TEN BILLION fucking copies of the Jewish calandar. What the hell? Are Jewish calandars really that popular? Obviously not since THEY'RE ALL STILL THERE ON THE FUCKING SHELF! So, after searching forever, I finally found some little kiosk with calandars and got one that's all artwork by Alphonse Mucha. Lovely stuff, but I'd much prefer tigers. But it's a damn good substitute, so I'm not that angry. I'm just pissed at the utter piles of shit our stores have become.
Going on week 4 of Nick not talking to me. I don't really feel sad or anything, but him just kind of going off and not talking to me at all just strikes me as so utterly and completely strange. I'm guessing he found another girl, or something.
Finally, my photo class seems to be the one that will be the most time consuming. I'm really excited to get back into the darkroom, but I don't know if I'll have the energy, stamina, and mental patience to really put my best effort forward. Maybe it's because I was so unprepared for school to start back up, but I just feel drained. Hopefully, I'll get some inspiration when I start up again. But it's difficult and draining when I take photos. I'm getting ideas, but when it's just me and my camera, it really sucks. I need to get some models or something. Anyone interested in coming to Vegas and posing nude? I can't pay you... but... you get to be nude! IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT!

I don't really see the point in getting calanders at all. I mean, with cellphones and computers having calanders built into them it just seems unnessary to put holes in you walls to pin up a paper calander that doesn't even thell you the current date unless you mark off the days every morning. I don't feel like adding paragraphs today.

Check with your school library about getting some of the books for your classes. I saved a ton of money by doing that (and switching to Geico).

Bobo, the calandar just helps me know what day it is, and opening it is
much easier than searching through a cell phone. Also, women need
them to keep tally of their periods. Try THAT with your palm
pilot!
Yeah, turns out one of the fucking venders crapped out on me. He cancelled my order and I'm getting a refund, but it's still an inconvenience. I might just go to the bookstore for that book, since I don't have the luxury of extra time for it to be mailed.
Also, I had my "beers" class today. That looks like it's going to be super fucking fun. The teacher is like... a beer expert and judge, and owns a wine and beer shop. Basically the first day was just introductions he was like "what's your name, major and favorite beer." And everyone had an american/british beer choice but me. I chose Chimay. GREAT FUCKING BEER! Try it. :D

i thought you were kidding when you said one of your classes was "beers", that's awesome. what school do you go to?
half.com is a decent site.
i was an english major also in college, and it was always so hard to find those obscure books, especially ones for my senior seminar (right now i cant even remember what it was, something having to do with chaucer), not that metamorphasis is obscure...but, try your library or do those interlibrary loan things.
that's cool your taking photography, just go out and take pictures of anything, something will turn out well im sure.

I go to University of Nevada Las Vegas.
As for my photo class, the first project is self portraits. And I don't mind photographing myself, it's just that setting the timer, focusing manually, not having a tripod, and having to put my camera on automatic every time I want to take a light meter reading and then turning it back to the setting I need is a pain in the ass. My camera's really old. >:/

hahaha i see what you mean. self portraits are a pain in the ass. seems like it might be a cool class though.
waht kind of camera do you have? do they provide you with one or you just use your own?
you're an english major right... do you just take photo classes for fun? 20 questions, sorry.
LadyGrace on
haha. I take photo for fun, yeah. My camera is mine, it's a
Minolta 35mm from the 70's. It used to be my dad's.
