long times
I realize now that I haven't updated this for ages, so I will do my best.
Um
I got a new camera. I miss my Digital Rebel, but more than that I miss the lens that I had for it, a glorious 70-300 that had bells and whistles but now I'm out of the Canon arena except for the AE-1 that wouldn't know what to do with that lens anyway. D70s, oh yes, here I am... and I have just recieved a light meter which makes me feel like a real photographer.
I'm leaving for London in 10 days, and I'm very excited. Apparently one of the people in the class thing is from Moorestown... and his overprotective mother called my dad to ask which flight I was going to be on so she could put him on the same one... This is going to be very awkward... but at least I'll have someone I sort of know when I get there, I guess, since I won't have the common attribute of being from Syracuse, like 2/3 of the others (although from what I understand that's only going to be 4). This awkwardness has been troubling me, as well as the aspect of flying with someone I'll just have met, to the point where I talked to someone else about it.
Paraphrased, since it was a while ago, it went like this.
me: Man, so apparently I'm going to be flying with this kid from my sort of home town, his mom doesn't want him flying alone
Dan: that's going to be awkward
me: I know, I'm not exactly looking forward to it
Dan: well, at least you know you two will have something in common to talk about
me: what, we can talk about the Moorestown Mall and then he can make fun of me for going to MFS?
Dan: I was thinking more along the lines of photography...
In other news, I miss Brandeis. A lot. It's driving me crazy, being here in Medford/Mt. Laurel with nothing to do ever. I can't get a job because I'm going away, so I spend all day online bothering Dan at work, Riker or Andy at home, and other various people and wandering out once in a while to take pictures. Every few days I'll drive my sister 40 minutes to her boyfriend's house, or drive her to the other parent's house, or drive around randomly, infrequently hanging out with Paul or Bethany. Twice I drove up to Boston, which was fun because I got to play with people up in those parts, which was definitely an improvement on sitting here under a blanket of apathy and lack of ideas.
I really need for it to be time to go to England, or for someone to come visit me (*cough*), or to go see Bethany or Nina or Paul before I leave, or to go to bed (probably mostly that one), in any case a change is very necessary.
