Determined

I finished processing my second roll of film this afternoon. Almost all of the photos are visible this time but we have determined that there is definitely light leaking into the camera some how.
The Prof. and I decided that for the next roll of film I should electrical tape the outer edges of the camera to see if it helps out..

The ankle despite looks is doing fairly well; by the end of each day it gets pretty irritated though...No running or soccer this week, maybe next.

This is test week for me. I took a photography test this morning, and have a History test tomorrow, and my Art History test on Friday. We are finally getting to our Uber 10 page research paper for Composition that is supposed to take the entire last half of the semester to complete.

Time for some savory tamales and chocolate b-day cake!

Twenty and Six

Sing it with me now.. umm.. to me.. "Happy Birthday to you ..."

Not counting another bizarre round of weather and a gimpy ankle I had a pretty nice weekend! Mom and Dad came to visit me here in Lyons toting their brand new High Rise air mattresses. :)
They also brought me a cooler full of goodies to cook since the selection down here is kind of limited. School friends are fun, but family company is much better!

We didn't fare so well in the indoor soccer tournament; we won the first game but lost the next two-ending our short visit to Barton Community College in Great Bend. I sat on the bench with the team and snapped some photos with the 35mm camera for photography class. The field was down in a gym and had a weird tile floor that was fairly hard but didn't let the ball bounce as much as normal. The goals were pretty much the size of standard indoor goals. Wish I could have played.. but we still have a couple more tournaments before the end of the school year.

Ouch?

Hmm.... indoor soccer on the wooden basketball floor. I now know why 90% of the volleyball team wear mega ankle braces when they play.

Shame there is an indoor soccer tournament this weekend that I won't get to play in now.

I wonder how well i'll be able to sleep tonight...

Driving Scenes





The neighbor says.. I haven't seen this much snow since I was a kid!!!
I've spent the last week or two driving through some interesting stuff now.
Sometimes the wind blows so hard it doesn't stick to the road but it sure freezes anything to your car windows. I set the camera on the dash and took some photos while trekking.
