I want the weekend back!

Filed under: Horizons,Life,School — Tags: , , — Kristyn @ 6:02 am

I can’t believe it’s Monday again already.  I really want the weekend back!!  This week is going to be a long and painful and if I make it through it’ll be a miracle.  I have an absolute ton of school work to do and I have to take the stupid writing proficiency exam on Thursday.  Honestly, that test is the least of my worries because there is zero way I can fail it, but it’s one more thing I’m going to have to add to an already hectic schedule.  Matt’s going to want my attention, when I really need to spend the week (yes, the whole week) reading like crazy because I have a two part midterm worth like 40% of my grade due at the end of the week — I have 6 chapters to read for that midterm.  Never mind the outline for my speech which is due later in the week and all the bulletin board response work I have to do for both my speech class and my film studies course.  Online classes are a pain in the ass.  I revel in the knowledge that this is my LAST summer as an undergrad!  From here on out, the only summer classes I’ll be taking are graduate level!  I cannot wait for this summer to end, I don’t know that I’ve ever wanted anything so badly… except maybe graduation!  December needs to get it’s ass here!

004Anyway, it’s 6:50am and I can’t seem to stay focused on anything.  Instead, I’m here, talking to you, complaining about all the stuff I have to do this week (rather than doing it).  Not just talking, I have a picture to share .  I took it this morning at about 6:30.  It was much more pink about ten minutes before, but I wasted that time stealing the batteries out of one of the remotes for my camera. Like the other pics from last week, it was taken in the back, behind the house, along the fence that separates us from Lonestar Arena and the angle is weird because I was trying to catch the whole gradient sky, orange to blue.  Click it if you want to see it bigger.

It’s so unusual but I find, as Matt’s working nights and I’m awake when the sun both goes down and comes up, I really prefer dawn to dusk.  It’s still cool at dawn, the air’s crisp and fresh after a long still night.  Yes, I like the night, too.  Dusk, on the other hand, is usually still hot and by the time the sun’s going down, the air has a stale quality.  I don’t like it, other than to say that anything which rends the sun from the sky is fine by me.  So, all that said, you’re liable to see a lot of pictures of sunrises as I get the inspiration to take them.  I really wish I had a better camera!  My sad little thing is 3.1 mega pixels, which is why the pictures always look a little grainy.

Anyway, I’m off to make a pot of coffee so Matt has fresh java when he comes in.  Then, I should probably start reading those 6 chapters for my midterms.  I hope you had a good weekend!!

God, I hate Mondays.

    i loved the pic :)

    on the camera issue.

    you know bigger MegaPixels isn’t really
    the issue. just my humble observations… a bigger megapixel just allows clarity for bigger pics.
    Most people really never have the need
    to go higher than 3.0MP – even for special projects. i mean 6 Megapixels is like a hugeass Poster of a picture.
    The higher megapixel you take the shot in the more you have to scale it down later – and then you lose definition. If you are a little more than amateur and leaning hard-core then a digital SLR is the way to go. (again in my humble opinion)

    Srsly when shopping a great digital camera i’ve found the things that are important are: Optical Zoom magnification – the more the better / ability to change my exposure rate, white balance, and flash manually, ANTI-Shake, and amazing rapid shot mode.
    That’s all – pretty much in order for me.

    It’s a great marketing tool that many companies have drilled into the mass populace that a bigger Megapixel = always better but it doesn’t match the info i’ve gotten from actual accomplished photographers. I’ve used these real photographer’s tips n tricks (that i could figure out) and they have all worked. (shrug)
