updation
phew its been a while! well lets see what i can babble about...
mallard ducks are pretty phat. jk i wont talk about that, especially since wood ducks are wayyy cooler. anyway...this weekend i went home. the parents were gone and ave was pretty busy with homecoming and whatnot so i was lonely for most of the time(and scared! my house=creepy). luckly i had plenty of homework to occupy my time; so much in fact that i had to abandon my hopes of seeing brand new at rockabilly's. poor me :(
this past weekend turned out to be more of a strain then a break from things. it put several things on my mind, but i seldom make hasty decisions so i am waiting to deal with things so that i approach them in the most effective manner. that probably just confused everyone. luckly one good thing came out of this weekend and that would be my camera. its a cannon EOSII, im not sure how much my parents paid for it but i was curious so i looked at it on the internet and the price of the body only was around or over $400. that doesnt include the two lenses that mine came with(macro and zoom i think?). anyway, no im not spoiled and didnt get it "just because". it was my (very late) birthday/graduation present. yay im so happy its finally here!
so far the weather this week has been awesome. its amazing how much a sunny day can improve one's mood. after last week's reminder of how much i hate cold weather, i decided to take full advantage of these nice days by studying and homeworking outside. its really beautiful by the red cedar river, plus there are park benches, so i usually sit out there and actually find i concentrate better. also, i've spent a few hours each day, roaming about campus and the nature areas playing with my camera. its soooo awesome. i dont know how im ever going to afford to develop all the film im using. i'll probably have to resort to stealing again :(.
i've decided against getting the phone survey job. im stressed enough with school as it is and would probably go bonkers if i had to work too. man bonkers is an awesome word.
so my environmental issues seminar has been depressing me about the condition of the world. i had always been pretty apathetic towards environmental issues, but now i feel inspired to make a difference. i dont know what im going to do yet. i want to start an organization against urban sprawl. thats an issue i really care about because i can relate to it from personal experience. or maybe i could promote environmental education, so that people learn to appreciate the land and it's inhabitants as well as become aware of the problems facing survival. i never enjoyed volunteering but i think that working toward a cause greater than myself would give my life some purpose, rather than selfish individual gains. hopefully i make some difference, no matter how small, so i can leave this world a little better than i found it.
well thats it for now, stay tuned for next time...
