Life is good!
Past week(s) or so have been rather great. Classes have been going well, and I've been doing my best to actually get all my work done and done well at that. Last Friday was the Photo Student showcase, which was rather fun. They had quite the set up too. Hukilau Hut with Sno Cones, cotton candy, Jones Soda, Popcorn, they really had everything. Well, everything if you want a sugar crash :p. Otherwise, the photography was good for the most part, and it's good to see what the upperclassmen are doing in our major. Did DDR and the Soup with Nicole as usual (BTW, that's her name. I figure it's about time I mention that). Quite the fun night!
Oh, and let's not forget that we started doing photography in figure...as in undraped. Frightening at times, but otherwise it's been going pretty well. It also means I has more naked people on my computer than a junior high student, but oh well. At least it's tasteful :/ Although last time was rather peculiar...the model really loves skeletons...which he showed when we gave him one to pose with. *shudders*
All my other classes are also going well. Just took the art history midterm a couple days ago, and dear god was that easier than last semester. I didn't think we were actually going to get multiple choice for the slides section. Rather, I had no idea what exactly to expect, but I know I did well this time.
As for other non-class related stuff, things are better than ever! Apparently changing my relationship status on Facebook creates an uproar. But at the same time, I'm really happy with how things have turned out. Everything went smoothly on her end with her former relationship, and things are even looking up for her ex! It's quite exciting. And now I'm happily in a relationship with someone I really love. It's a great feeling :D.
Valentine's Day was especially great. We went to see Coraline with a few other friends, really quite good. This Saturday we're going down to Disney for the day. Really excited for that, I haven't been in such a long time! Just means I need to finish up a lot of my work well before then. But I think I'm doing well for time with all of that. I just have a couple more rolls to shoot for photo, then I need to print like crazy.
Speaking of crazy, I just realized that I'm gonna be home again in a couple of weeks for break! I wish I didn't have to leave, but it'll be nice to see those who are actually around. I know not too many of us are, but still should be good times. I can't believe it's already midterm. I love this first year so much, I really don't want it to even come this close to ending yet. Next year's going to be great, but I love the variety of work we're getting right now.
Just got my housing stuff in today. One of our roommates just needs to get his housing deposit in, and we're good to go for the lottery. Yeah, I decided against Student Center cuz I couldn't find someone who would be willing to go right into that. It was a combination of that and the fact that another desirable opportunity came up at the right time. Hopefully everything will work out.
Again, I love being here more and more everyday. This is probably the happiest I've ever been. :)
