guesstimate

I did a little bit of guesstimation this morning while I was allegedly going over the statistics exam this morning (96/100 btw). I went around ebay to look for some lenses. I will go ahead and get the fish eye lens there, since the exact same one my friend got is listed again. That's the best deal I've found so far. I still have like 27 days to get it. I'll probably order it once I get my hands on the camera itself.

Actually let me back up a bit. I haven't been writing much for the past week and a half because I've been on spring break. Lord knows I never get anything done when you give me time off. I was suppose to get around to do a whole bunch of homework and papers and stuff. Guess what, I did none of it. And as you may be able to tell from my previous posts from that week, I did get a lot of creative stuff done. Which is very cool. I did a bunch of just driving around, buying stuff I don't really need nor can afford, and slept a lot. I never knew how much I miss sleeping in until I woke up this morning. Stupid school.... they keep pushing the strike, which is another story. I'm not too proud that I got next to nothing done last week. Felt like I wasted most of it. Sucks I know, but hey, it's a break and I took it as one.

I did have to work my regularly scheduled shifts.... if there is such a thing. That and worked on PI, which was actually more fun then I thought it would be.

I reminded myself that I really love creating art of any form. I've been working on paper crafts now for a few weeks. Not too much to show for it, that's because I think about what I want to put down before I actually start. My mom was surprised at how artsy I actually am. Honestly I am too. I never really thought of myself as a creative person. Scientific is what I usually am. Maybe it's because I never really gave myself a chance to develop in those things. I do recognize that I am more interested in the arts and humanities fields a majority of times. I love going to museums and galleries, classic literature, history, and observations of nature. Sometimes I think I'm living in the wrong century... age even. So anyway. Because of all of that, I'm really excited about getting my camera. As soon as I was able, I ordered it last Wednesday, and it is on its way to me. The only thing that irks me is that I don't have a tracking number.

I thought about getting a film camera a few years back, because I can learn to develop photos at the craft center in the Union. I've always wanted to do black and white photos. I had a great time working on yearbooks when I was in junior high. Taking that camera all over campus taking candid shots of students was a rush. I didn't have the money back then, and the folks thought it was a silly idea. So I pushed the thought to the back of my mind. It was until my college years (and long that is) that I seriously started contemplating the hobby again. In the recent months, one excuse led to another, I finally went ahead and bought the camera. Now I have to decide on my accessories. My mom questioned my decision to get the camera a little while back. She didn't get why I would get something so big. True that I already have a point and shoot, but it doesn't give me the picture quality I want. I showed her some examples on flickr and that sort of changed her mind. Anyway... now I'm waiting. I might as well get the rest of the stuff in a couple of months when I have enough reward certificate to cover all the rest of the accessories. I think I guesstimated about $350 is about how much I'll need. I'll be at about $250 next month. I think the total, including pending points, I have about $235. argh... too much thinking...

PI was interesting. Friend of mine expressed that his worse nightmare came true. He was doing clean-and-bright at 1 in the morning... I was doing great until a fricking gaming headset with razor sharp packaging fell on my forehead. I put neosporin on it. I will be very pissed if I get a scar right above my right brow. It wasn't even a cut, it just scraped a patch of skin off. Friggin.... And I was just thinking that morning how I look a lot better now that I don't have any blemishes on my face. aaarrrghhh....
