cabin fever

i haven't updated since i left school. finals came out alright. i got a B in one of the classes that i was worried about, and it was well-deserved 'cause i was lazy and stupid. in retrospect i should have put at least an ounce of effort into one of two graded assignments, but what's done is done and this is the last i'll say about it.



my trip home to athens has consisted of a lot of looking at a lot of sites listed through www.photoblogs.org, and not much else. i worked the after school program my first week here. yesterday (sunday) we had christmas on my dad's side. i took about a roll of (hopefully) cool pictures of the farm, was given a desktop cd organizer, and got some money. my brother's driving has gotten worse so i attempted to sleep through it unsuccessfully. got some good shots of eric sleeping in funny positions though.



the gifts that i ordered for kris and katie got here today. they were a day behind schedule, but i guess i can't complain with the holiday rush. i did the shopping sitting at home, didn't have to deal with any saleslady badgering me, and i'm happy with the results. hopefully they will be as well. i need to go atl to see kris and mr. and mrs. henderson sometime soon. i'll try to go tomorrow, but if that doesn't work out, i have to go next week.



i get to see katie on wednesday! we both need to get out of our parents' houses. she needs to get away from her clothes folding job at rich's and i need to get away from myself. i'm super excited. her birthday's on christmas eve so i had to do double duty shopping. hopefully the stuff i got her will make her laugh. i got an array of stuff. it's like a stock portfolio, at least one thing that i give her is sure to perform.



and for all of you haters out there who know my history and never let me live it down, our first date was on halloween and i haven't freaked out once!



went downtown with eric today. got my oil changed, had the worst meal i've ever had at the grill, bought some gloves at masada, and a few random things at junkman's. i was wearing my boston hat, and the cashier at the grill goes, "i love your hat." i said thanks and put my change in my wallet. then she adds, "that's the best braves' hat they ever made." i just smiled and left. some things are better left uncorrected.



(sorry, no photos on this computer. i finally splurged and ordered a macro lens saturday, so expect some extreme closeup pictures shortly. i also bought a camera a junkman's that takes 4 pictures per frame, dividing it into 4 frames and tinting each frame a different color. we'll see how they all come out.)
