Drake is #3

I FINALLY have my laptop charger so I can actually get on my laptop now.  I am planning on really getting back into my photography again. I just can’t stay away from it.  I just went through 1,300 pictures that I have taken since my charger first went on the fritz.  It is going to take me a bit to get through all of those, but so far it is going real well.

On another note, Drake has been announced as #3 hottest MC in the game by MTV.  I am of course pleased because I have recently become obsessed with him.  However, I can understand how people would be upset.  He hasn’t really been in the game that long.  It’s just a little odd for him to get #3. Oh well!

I have also become recently obsessed with my 70-300 mm lens.  Therefore: look forward to some bokeh and macro.

busy busy busy

I am oddly busy.

i won $5000

That is right.  I won $5000.  I was awarded the Judy Greer Scholarship.  I have an acceptance luncheon tomorrow with the committee and Judy Greer herself.  I am so excited.  The committee is made up of 5 members of the Oxford College class of 1959.  These 5 people were so amazing.  I am also now considered an honorary member of the class of 1959.  This is just so awesome.  I had such a busy day today.  I still have to work until 2 a.m.

social problems

WHOAHHHHH! My life is insane right now.  Alright, today in my sociology class I had to participate in a panel on gender along with 4 other nervous students.  The discussion portion of the class was amazing!!!  I am extremely interested and concerned with gender roles and women’s issues; this panel was genuinely interesting to me.  After the class, my professor pulled me aside and congratulated me on an excellent job. (This panel is 15% of our grade in the class.)  He then pretty much guaranteed me a spot in his highly selective social problems class that he offers in the fall.  This class not only meets once a week for deep discussions, but the students spend a week in January at a hotel in Atlanta participating and visiting in various institutions such as prisons and rape crisis centers, which are considered social problems.  The only problem is the class is not covered by the normal fall and spring semester tuition.  I will have to pay $4000 to participate.  I plan on doing this though.  I will save all of my money during the summer from work and will use the money I save from being an RA.  I am so excited for this opportunity and honored to be esteemed so highly by such an astounding professor.

In other news…

I ordered 3 filters for my rebel xs today: circular polarizer, uv, and fluorescent.  I also ordered a lens cleaning kit.  I can’t wait for the polarizer.  I have seen some amazing things done with this filter and can’t wait to try some.

I have a busy weekend coming up, but I only about 6 weeks of classes left!!!

still too busy

I am still way too busy trying to catch up on stuff.  I am feeling a little better though.  This was street corner in New Orleans.  I quite liked that city.
