Summer semester is winding down, this being the last week of classes and all. Photography is still quite expensive, but I really like it. Hopefully I'll have the photography page up by the end of next week. I still have to shoot my final photography project, which consists of five images with a uniting them, and we have to shoot five rolls of film for the project. That's the only drawback. So, it's gonna be a busy weekend. I'll have to shoot two rolls of film today and develop it tonight so I can turn in my contact sheets for review tomorrow. The lab opens at 5:00 p.m., which doesn't leave me much time.
 
The lab is going to be a madhouse this weekend, with everyone trying to get their stuff done. And I've still got to buy matte board because out final prints have to be matted. The good thing is that we've got a matte-cutting machine, which we didn't have in my graphic design classes. I still get shivers thinking about all the mattes I had to cut, and all the ones I'll have to cut in the future.
 
Speaking of graphic design, I still can't get into those classes I really need, so I've resorted to taking classes I don't really need just so I can get all my financial aid for the fall. I was planning on graduating by next December, but now I'm not so sure. That really puts a damper on things. I wanted to take intermediate photography, but that's not offered until the spring, so once again I have to wait. However, I can still use the photo lab as long as I pay the lab fee, which is a nice concession.
 
Hopefully it'll all work out.
