Unpacking

Ok, so most of this has now been unpacked and put away... but still, you see why it took me so long!

Book Sale!

Well, I finally sorted the photos I took at the library's semi-annual book and plant sale last Saturday. Here are a few highlights:

Fortunately, the weather was just perfect.

Settling In

Well, I finally got my computer set up, and thanks to our lovely new router, I'm online as well! I'll try to keep Bast turned off or at least sign off when I'm away-- and it's going to be very hot up here, so that probably won't be too often. In the meantime however, I'm around :)

Funny, That....

It's strange how people's minds work sometimes, isn't it?

Such a Poetry Geek...

I would totally want to get this shirt if it weren't brown xD

Sigh...

Every time I think about study abroad things, I get more depressed. The Belfast program, apparently, is only in the fall, and if I do get to study abroad it has to be in the spring of next year, because my senior year I have to take a fall and spring combination course while writing my honors thesis-- and yes, I am determined to do that and graduate in the honors college. Studying abroad spring of my junior year would also be the optimal time to do research, so I could write my paper on something celtic and awesome. But apparently, fate is against me. If I go to Glasgow, even through Millersville the worst-case scenario in USD (assuming the exchange rates don't go too crazy) is $14500 for one semester, and that's probably an optimistic worst-case scenario. Going to U College Cork through another university is even worse ($15500, and you might say, what's another $1000? but believe me, it's quite a lot when one doesn't remotely have the $10000+ to make up the difference in cost.) For reference, Millersville tuition is $6,398 annually.

At this point I don't even know why I bother to dream.

Artsy Stuff

Well, I finally decided to get a DeviantArt gallery for my artsy photographs and the few photomanips I've begun to accumulate (things like this tend to happen when I'm avoiding other things, like finals week studying!). I haven't quite figured out the print system yet, but when I do I think I'll enable some prints for the files that will support it (I also need to figure out the specs) and, who knows, someone might actually want to buy one. It's a long shot... there's so much art and I don't really have any way of putting myself out there... but it's worth a try.

*Snicker*

Not only is this a bad math joke, I understand it and it's very fitting for what my calculus final project entails!
