I'm forcing myself to stay awake long enough to post this, though I'm so very tired and getting sick.
My sinuses always act up when the seasons are changing and my nose gets stuffy and my sinuses hurt. I'm so happy fall is here, but I'm not happy that I can barely breathe out of my nose right now.

Nothing exciting has happened lately, just been doing a whole lot of homework, trying to get ahead. I know if I don't get in the habit now I'm going to fall back to my old ways of doing everything an hour before it's due and going crazy. Feeling rushed is one of the things I hate most, yet I always seem to put myself in that situation. I had a few issues with that last semester, but it was definitely an improvement. This year I do not plan on playing that game anymore.

I've been playing with my camera a lot the last couple days to try to get familiar with it. I guess I'll post a couple pictures I took walking around Clarkson campus with TJ. Those will be after the jump because apparently on blogger you can't end a break? I'm used to being able to just have a small section put behind a link and continuing on after it with livejournal. Oh, wow, it's been a while since I've even thought about livejournal. Anyhoo....




Once we go back home the next couple of weekends, I know I'll have much more interesting things to photograph. I'm so excited for Remsen Barnfest on September 24th and 25th. I look forward to it every year (even though it always rains). I love to go and look at the crafts, sample the foods, buy spices, and even get some early Christmas shopping done. Plus it's in a beautiful little area and everything's just so autumnal, it's what keeps me from being disappointed that I've yet to live inside a Halloween movie.
Then after that comes October, and AHHH, I'm just so ready for October. Apple cider and apple tastings at the Fly Creek Cider Mill, having the bejeesus scared out of me (and admiring/learning from the special effects makeup!) at Cayo Industrial and Screamers' Hallow, and seeing everyone who is awesome at various Halloween parties. October just pulls me out of whatever slump I've put myself into throughout the year. I don't feel like a sad mopey depressed person most of the year. But when fall hits I just come alive and I wonder where I was the whole rest of the year.

Well, now I've excited myself out of being tired. I don't know what else to say right now, so I think I'll end this here on a happy note.

Pictures are here, just click the link.


Had to get a picture of this... thing... for 3-D design. As soon as I was told that our next sketchbook assignment included finding a non-objective piece of art, this thing immediately popped into my head. It was very convenient that we ended up going to Clarkson campus Friday night for a comedian (who ended up having to cancel due to car trouble).


Always thought their Student Center was a pretty building. I've been starting to realize I'm a lot more into architecture than I thought I was. I was amazed that the pictures I got of this building were so giant and clear that I could pretty much make out the faces of the people inside the building. I wish I knew people there so I could play I Spy.

 Lastly, the sad, dying little flower I used as a subject for my aperture study. I didn't plan on doing that assignment while I was there, but I was sitting next to the flower and figured, "Why not?" I know there certainly isn't anything more interesting to take pictures of in my apartment.
