undecided

i had a sleepy start today, mostly because i joined a group last night (while playing WoW) around 9:30 and before i knew it, it was already 2am! We got 2-3 achievements in H Nexus and i finally cleared H Occulus (another 2 achievements)! Now i only need to down Malygos to become a Champion of the Frozen Wastes. So i woke up after it was too late to leave for yoga (idk how i slept through 3 alarms, but i did), felt horrible, decided to sleep an extra hour, and got to Photojournalism a little tardy. The professor can be frustratingly confusing, but i am learning a lot in that class. i keep meaning to get Grandpa Jocko's camera out of the attic and figure out which shots it will be better for, but i'm still trying to figure out my digital camera! Today we went over f-stops again and progressed to shutter speeds. A lot of the information seems backwards to me, i hope it makes more sense once i get out there and start taking photos. i did figure out how to adjust some stuff on my camera though.

i'm undecided about trying to get workstudy. i keep going back and forth. ): Last night took forever, i hate working nights and having to clean up after the slobs i work with, but i can work there during Christmas break and Summer vacation, so idk. i wish i could get a raise, we're coming up on a year now.

You all already know about my bike (at least if you were paying attention, if not, scroll down), i paid off the last of it on Friday. That wasn't all that i got, though. i also bought a new step-down-from-"gaming" pc and digital slr camera. Not only that but i have my old room back, a couple of new bras and pairs of blue jeans and tank tops, and the money set aside for my plain ticket to Barcelona. i feel like all i have done all weekend is spend money, but it sure makes me feel good to spend it. Now to buckle down again and save for shore excursions on the cruise.

back in class

As you have probably noticed, i've been pretty silent over the summer, mostly because i have been working and/or trying to figure out how to get the malware off my old laptop as opposed to listening to the radio as i go to class each day, training really hard for a triathlon, etc. i'm kind of out of the loop as far as politics right now, and most of my internet time has been devoted to playing WoW. But now school is back in session and things will probably be changing... including the leaves! It's hard to believe that the year 2009 is already over halfway over and it's almost FALL.

This semester i am going to try to have fun. As it turns out, i am retaking World Geography (i don't know that i'll ever retake Sociology, it was way too socialist for my taste), focusing on Photojournalism, and branching out with Yoga and Mountain Biking. i'm taking Art History (caveman days to Renaissance) for the minor i'll never finish and my sole English class is Language Systems and Linguistic Diversity. It's upper level and will be a nice elective to help out my upper level courses' gpa.

Thinking about a new blog name again... idk why i always feel the need to change it.

Oh, also, i have been biking all over campus, to Subway, and to the public library. It was nice and cool this morning but now i'm all tuckered out. The library is not cold today (like it was last spring! brrr), but it is quiet and cool.
