So I’m sitting here “studying” for my art history final and pretty much getting nowhere. I’m really on actually on flickr, browsing photos, envying those with the sexy L lenses and getting excited about the new 50mm 1.4 that I’m planning on buying. December’s here, school about to let out and Christmas is right around the corner. I wouldn’t exactly call this past November an adventure, but it was sure as hell a roller coaster ride. This past semester has been… interesting. Definitely my least favorite and one I hope I’ll never have to repeat again–going to classes I don’t want to be in, spending too much time doing things I just don’t want to be doing with no time at all to shoot. Third semester has not been fun.
I will say however, this Thanksgiving was quite and interesting a memorable one. Not because of the food or the Black Friday rush. Sarah, my 11-year-old niece suffered a seizure at the Thanksgiving dinner table. This being my first time experiencing such an event, being ‘freaked out of my mind’ is probably one of the biggest understatement of all time. But she’s okay now and at the risk of sounding super cheesy, we’re all grateful that she’s fine. I guess the bright side to that was that it sort of made me slow down mentally and emotionally, and it helped me realize that even though we say we appreciate things, we probably really don’t… or at least, not as much as we should. So I appreciate the people I’ve met and those I have built strong relationships with.
Okay, now that that’s over, let’s move on to something a little more cheery, shall we? I’m gonna get a 50mm f/1.4 lens and I’m super excited about it. Can you say BOKEH!? Eh, that was pretty cheesy too, wasn’t it? Oh well. Like I said, I’m “studying” for my art history final tomorrow. FUN! I can’t wait til it’s over and I can get out of here.
Happy holidays everyone!
