Humph!

My battery is almost out, but I have enough to write a super awesome journal entry. I'm trying to log as much of my spirit as I can before the wedding. I want to look at this in twenty years and think, "Aww, I was so sweet before..."

I'm sitting in Starbucks right now. It's cool to be hooked up to the internet and not be at home. I know that's random, but I've never been able to. I've only had my laptop a few months and school has been out for a couple of them. Now that I'm here, it's really fun. There are a few other people with laptops and I feel like I'm part of the "undergraduate culture." If only I had a Mac instead of a PC.

I just finished printing up my negatives in Photo A120 too, so I feel really creative now. If you saw the negatives you'd be impressed. I am really proud. I treated myself to some Caramel Apple Spice and a whole wheat banana muffin because I did so well. Over 1/3rd of the class either overexposed or underexposed their film. When I brought mine up, she paused.

She didn't say anything right away, but then, "These are great. Very good."

I was so happy! I mean, I feel bad for the others because they are all going to have to re-shoot their film, while I am just delighted. It's so cool to see something with a lense and show it to people later. I hope this art doesn't fade away because of digital photography. It's too much fun to mix that chemistry and dry the film. I'm so so proud of myself. I can't say it enough. I mean, I was "okay" at drawing, but it seems that I have a real knack for this medium. If only there were a bigger demand for photographers! Maybe I'll shoot some stuff at my wedding.

I was mildly interested in taking some GE classes this summer, but I think I've changed my mind. It'd be nice to get ahead, but I really should focus on getting six days of work a week and double shifts. It'll be really important to start putting away a few more thousand dollars at that point. This wedding is approaching too soon and I haven't saved a dime. Don't tell anyone. I'm getting my school check next week and hopefully that'll give me enough breathing room to start putting more money away. This Starbucks and my dates with Chris aren't helping. Sigh!
