there could be nothing better
it didn't get much better, printing today was a nightmare. the film place has temporarily misplaced my square format film, but at least i have my 35mm to work with. i went to the dark room to work this afternoon; this afternoon, this beautiful spring afternoon, i was in the dark in the lab in the metal and fluorescent light instead of out there where the flowers are blooming and green leaves are just appearing.
it wouldn't have been as bad if i actually got good pictures out of it but it was miserable. i mistook 400 film for 800 film so one roll came out crummy, and the enlarger lens was wonky on both enlargers that i was using. nothing could go worse, really. (okay, maybe it could get worse.)
and i still have my sculpture and essay and all that crap to do. i have to make myself feel better so here's a list of things that make the day better:
1. the barista who charged me 55 cents for a venti iced black tea because i have purple hair and my name is michelle
2. writing letters to people i love on beautiful cards
3. discovering nothing better by the postal service in my music library (i have all this music that i never listen to, what is this?)
i don't think i can get straight As and it's really hard to try. there's so much pressure and it just makes me want to run away rather than nail it. i want to come home.
