Slacker

Sorry I've been slacking on posting. I've been busy all week. Classwork, going out, prancing about town with my new hair. It takes up a lot of time. :) I managed to get a few photos of the pretty courtyard on campus. Most of it looks like Hogwarts!Absolutely gorgeous.
I am so in love with this campus. It doesn't look real sometimes. And for fun, some dry shampoo that I bought.The fragrance is called "Proud and True Brit." Which just kills me. I understand that the British have a lot of national pride... but a fragrance? If anything I would assume "Brit" scent would smell like tea and crumpets or haggis. It actually smells quite pleasant.

I had my photography class again today, and we spent the whole three hours just printing. I managed to get 5 pictures printed. It's such a labor intensive process! It can take almost half an hour just to print one picture. You have to put the negative into the enlarger, set up your easel, focus the enlargement, choose a filter, make a test strip to check the exposure time and then finally you can make the full sized print. And after all that, you might not like it, so you have to do it all over again! It sure makes you appreciate each picture a lot more. Here they are. Keep in mind, these are pictures of pictures, and they look a lot better in person. Even so, I am not by nature a photographer. They are not art by any means. But I like them.
I'm excited for future printing sessions. There are about 6 more pictures I really want to print.
