With one arm securely nestled around the small of her back, I pulled Elvia closer to me after she hopped down from a footstool. "C'mon, lets go," I tell her before picking her up with one arm and carrying her away from the bookshelf she was organizing. With one arm flung over my shoulders and the other resting at her side, she allowed her body to ease into mine as I walked us away.

With both a simple "peace out" and a smile, I set her down after a few paces and proceeded on my way to the library.

The book I needed wasn't in, so I went on about my business to class, and then caught the bus to the University Dormitories a half mile away to check the status of my application to become a Resident Assistant.

I was put on the alternate list. The powers that be don't think that I'd be able to handle the 20 hour job of being an R.A. ontop of volunteering at the rape crisis center weekly, doing my big brother/big sisters of america thing weekly, being a staff writer and copyeditor at the local university newspaper ( as well as being a photographer for 'em. More on that later. ), continue being the Vice President of the University's Honors College ( Maybe president next fall if I decide to run, ) and working as a peer tutor all at the same time.

I agree with 'em... but I still would've liked to have gotten the job. I walked the half mile back to campus and went to the Peer Tutoring office for a weekly meeting. We played Taboo. I lost the game for my team. Went throughout the rest of my day and now I'm sitting at a local coffee shop and enjoying a live jazz concert, trying to relax before my big day tomorrow. More on that in the upcoming weeks.


Oh, and about photography... I learned how to take pictures using a film camera right before digital cameras became the norm. Personally, I think that digital cameras have cheapened the art of photography; anyone can just point and click now. Back in my day, we used to have to manually focus everything and get perfect timing for a good shot. Not to mention getting an authentic flash adapter to stick into my 1970 Minolta and--- ... Nevermind.

So there are enough cases of rape for there to be a rape crisis center? :S That's disturbing...

I'm also living at home right now. I missed it a little more when I lived on my own, but even still, by the end of the vacation, I would be ready to leave. I hope your trip home isn't bad

You can find the cameras which you can focus the lenses.. but they're more expensive than the normal digital camera.

It's expensive, I know but what to do? Phones are extremely expensive here for some unknown reason.
» Nuttz on 2008-03-08 12:04:06

It's totally cheapened
Though a good shot still takes a good eye. There's too much junk out there, these days. Heh.

I kind of want to get into film photography. It seems pretty cool.

I'm in Houston now and I'll be here til next Friday. I'm staying in Kemah right near the boardwalk. If you know where Kemah is. How far away from Houston are you? If you were free, say, Thursday or Friday am, that would be SWEEEET but I'm guessing you might have school? Tell me your dealio. It's been a long time since I've heard the word "dealio". I don't even really know how to spell it. Interesting.

I'm not sure
Where can I find it? I've never had to use it before...if I sent you an e-mail from it, would the code be in the return address?
