so I've discovered something... I really really like the people I'm meeting in the darkroom and just through my photography class in general. especially tonight, which was cool because there were a lot of talkative people around with a lot of varied interests and stuff. I just about had a heart attack when I developed the first roll and discovered that, out of 36 exposures, only 13 frames actually had anything on them. the rest were totally blank. I seriously was about to cry. I think there is something wrong with my moms camera, big time, because that shouldn't be happening. however, the second two rolls I developed came out fantastically, and so I ended the night on a positive note when I made my contact sheets and saw some really really cool stuff that I can't wait to start enlarging. I don't know if I'll go tomorrow night because one of the classes has a crit on thursday, so the darkroom will be a zoo tomorrow night, but we'll see. I can't wait until morning because I can pick up my dried contact sheets and look them over a bit better. woot. and now I'm finally home but fuzzy isn't so I am teh lonely *sigh*

So yeah, I'm back here again, which pretty much sums everything up...

* break was fantastic... took tons of pictures, was way way busy, didn't quite get everything done that I wanted to get done, but close enough

* Fuzzy has secured gainful employment as a teacher for the YMCA after school program... woot woot

* hung out with Steevie, Patrick, and Jen. played uno. Jen and Fuzzy might come visit me in April, I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope...

* got back last night, fell asleep at 9:30pm so I'm not tired so much as fatigued just from being here. developed 2 rolls of film, and a bunch of pictures got effed up, either at the time of taking them or during development *sigh* this would totally happen only to pictures that are this important to me, wouldn't it? and I KNEW it would happen, I totally knew like by a lot even. fortunately I didn't lose everything. I am totally praying that the rest of my rolls will be okay, so everybody pray for me or cross your fingers or send me happy thoughts, okay? please?

* totally don't want to be here, like at all even. I am so lonely right now it's ridiculous. I just want to go home.
