Sweltering!
This sweltering days is the day I happened to find myself at school for the first time in like, ummmmm... 10 years?
Wow. That makes me feel really old. But wait, community college style schooling, closer to 14 years. Crazy!
Here's my little synopsis of my time at college today...
Showed up with scant time to spare. Parked without a parking permit. What can I say? I like to live on the edge... not really though, I just didn't want to be late because I was really excited!! :)
Sat front and center so I could stare the teacher down right proper. He didn't notice.
Sat there kinda awkwardly for near 5 minutes whilst the rest of the class filed in.
and guess what! I WASN'T the oldest person in the class!! Woot! There was this one guy that was noticeably oldish. He gave me a wink and a nod, I think he was acknowledging our common condition. That being people over the age of 20. But just for the record oldish dude... no more winks or nods please.
When Mr. Williams started talking it went alot like this...
This is my first year teaching here, he said. I have previously taught at ASU, the labs here are much nicer
Yeah Yeah!! I like where this is going :)
At this point you can't wipe the smile off my face.
I was sitting next to Taylor. He has a liking for body piercing. Really that is just a guess... he had something shiny and loopy in his nostril. He is the only person I took any real note of and mostly because of his shininess. And maybe because he was sitting next to me. And I could smell him alot.
very smokey shiny little fella.
and then just like that Mr. Williams piped up again
This should be a short class, we can't really do anything without cameras.
Wait what? You people didn't bring your cameras?!?!?!?!!
*cue smile fading*
further along whilst reading from 'required materials' list
you guys will need to purchase a camera, I recommend thePromaster 2500PK with 50mm f/1.7 lens.
Wait what???? You people don't even have a camera yet??!?
oh and by the way, there's no class on Wednesday... take that time to gather your materials
and then it was over, just like that.
What? I feel so jipped off!
Sooooooo I packed up my camera and headed over to Tempe Camera to gather all the other supplies on the list. it was a long list. $191 long.
In all fairness it does say in bold type and underlines: $$$ Photography is very expensive!!! Expect to spend up to $400 for materials
So I guess that includes the camera?
But don't get me wrong. I am still super excited for the days that class is actually in session, which apparently is next week.
Remember the post I did a while ago with shots of Natalie that I did with my photography group? I kind of forgot to show you that one image I talked so highly of. Remember? It's the one Rhonda took.
Still. LOVE.
Here it is for you guys...
Something about it I just kind of adore :)
I had other postings planned for today but they will have to wait until tomorrow. Just think CHEESE.
Everybody loves cheese right?
well... until you eat too much that is. Then you suddenly don't.
Dear Lolo,
Do you remember that cheese and tomato salad I made you that one night? Remember how it was literally just cheese and tomatoes drizzled with oil and vinegar? Still one of my favorite salads, I mean if you add the cracked pepper and basil its better but we do what we can with what we got.
love, Jill
p.s.- That has nothing what-so-ever to do with the next post. Just a happy thought I'm passing along :)
