a camping we will go

bennett and i are taking a little vacation tomorrow

and we're going camping!

on the beach!

i can't wait to play in the ocean all day

and then cook dinner over a fire at night.

and by camping i mean the real deal,

like we have to bring toilet paper

and pee behind trees

and we won't have water

and i won't be able to fix my hair

...wish us luck!

obsession

i have a new obsession:

photography.

i have always love taking photos with my polaroid and holga cameras

but now that i am in a photography class

i am really getting into it.

i love the noise the shutter makes

and the feeling of advancing the film

and eventually developing it

and finally watching the image appear on the paper when you put it in the chemicals

here are some of my favorites i've done so far

(some i may have posted already)

getting things done

i finished a 5 page exhibition review

and a 10 page annotated bibliography today

so i am in a MUCH better mood now

sorry about my previous pity-post

i was just a bit overwhelmed

now all i have to worry about is developing film

and making ceramic jars

(which is hardly a thing to worry about)

photo taken for my photography class

time to vent

don't be expecting a lot of blog posts this week

because classes are kicking my butt.

i have so many projects

and papers

and presentations

and i don't have a place to live yet this summer

or a roommate

and all i can do is worry about, well, everything

sorry to be a debbie downer : (

i'm just a wee bit overwhelmed

oh and happy st. patrick's day

....i hate the color green

this calls for a feast!

bennett gets home tonight

so as a surprise i cooked him dinner!

i have never really cooked before so this was all new to me.

i even made a little menu !

we're having hummus and pita as an appetizer

stuffed shells for the main course

and then i'm making cosmopolitans

i can't wait to see his face again!

i have missed him so much

come home already!

tomorrow!

back home

i'm back home after a wonderful vacation!

we had such a relaxing time in charleston

filled with wonderful food

a windy beach

plenty of shopping

plenty of wine

and a lot of late nights spent talking and laughing

charleston

so far my little vacation has been wonderful!

we went to the beach yesterday

(go here to see some pictures stephanie took)

and today we are going shopping.

tomorrow we leave to come back home

and then bennett comes back to me on saturday

...i just hope this warm weather is to stay!

spring break!

i'm leaving for charleston tomorrow!

i am so ready for a week away from school and stress

to just spend some time with a few of my favorite girls.

so i hope everyone has a wonderful week

and i'll be sure to post pictures when i get back!

bye bye bennett

my bennett leaves tomorrow to go home for spring break

for a whole week

and i will miss him so very much
