since it is the end of semester, life has been stressful as hell. lab related activities have been fucked up... java programs haven't been finished, studio portrait backgrounds turned out grey, and color slides were scratched. the stress was only added to the fact that these unfortunate events tend to coordinate themselves with the time that my coffee wears off. however, some stress was alleviated by my photo professor who likes mickey mouse, because he is less strict about studio prints than i had expected. even more stress was relieved by a computer science pal who helped me with three of the four labs that are due by midnight tomorrow. yes, tomorrow, even though it is saturday.

so that's all i have to say for now except that i'm not dropping out of school to study photography elsewhere anymore. instead i picked up an extra minor, fine arts photography here. this is a compromise and it probably means i will be here at least one more semester than originally planned. i guess i shouldn't complain about using the pursuit of photography to put off my entrance into the real world.
