rainbows and sunshiney faces

I FINALLY FINISHED MY PORTFOLIO. hallelujah. it took me long enough. sheesh.

anyways. the days keep coming, and going. i'm beginning to compulsively throw clothes on my floor on top of my backpacking backpack and writing packing lists, shopping lists, to do lists on everything.

the only thing that keeps me sane: people and nature.
especially hiking

also, ice cream. but that always keeps me sane.

upcoming events: charlie and beth go to san francisco!
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT. and sister martha.
YOSEMITE WITH THE FAMILY.

i am thoroughly excited for all of these.

i'm starting to freak out a little bit! I am leaving in...19 days.
And i have absolutely zero motivation to read qualitative researching!
I don't want to spend any of the time i have left at home in vain. I don't want it to be wasted on sleeping (well...maybe i should do that..), on silly arguments...on watching television...

i still need to pick more berries.

but anyways. more camera practice. I went to Lake Clementine with the brother, the brother's wife, and noelle! joy!
