A Passing of a little friend

01
Tonight I approached my rat cage, sadly enough only to be greeted by 3 of my girls. 
Eva is no longer with us.
RIP Eva
7/30/10 - 1/23/12

She was always so friendly and has left her sister Ruby in the care of Clover and Buckwheat.

She will be missed. 

Ruby & Eva (still being called Ember) 9/2/2010

Back at School - Indimidated? Maybe.

01 I am sitting at school waiting for class #4 to start. I had first two yesterday, and then the third this morning.  Yesterday 6 am rolled around and I woke up naturally, for the second time this week, I have concluded from this that going to bed earlier = waking up earlier. Surprise, surprise. I was on a bus by 6:45 so I could get to school in time to get my schedule and get to my first class.

As of now, I am still super excited about my classes, but being in a room with SO MANY people, is mildly intimidating. For the last 6+ months I have been the girl that works, and hangs out with only one maybe two people at a time. Otherwise my time has been spent, at home and alone. All of these conversations are a lot of stimulation for my brain and may take a while to fall back into the swing of things. I feel like I have barley said a word to anyone, which makes me feel like I am just hanging out in this little world I have created in my head. Two quarters off of school, definitely good for my sanity and my internal life. My social life, in my opinion, has suffered. I have missed people, but in a way I have learned to live without them, so it should be interesting to welcome everyone back.

 That is all for now, I could RANT about the problem with my schedule... which is my own fault. But for now I won't because I have my Academic Director and Advisor working on helping me fix my schedule. If I don't get into the class... I am sure you will hear about it.

Hello Holga Lens - FOR MY NIKON!

01 So for Christmas my sweet sweet boyfriend bought me a plastic holga lens, for my NIKON DSLR! It is awesome! I have never owned my own plastic lens camera before, so having a plastic lens to put on my cameras that I LOVE is crazy fun. I can't wait to get out and try it in a situation other than my in my yard... Here are some of my shots from it this morning.







on a side note: The show Portlandia is CRAZY!
