i cut pat's hair last night....missed a spot....haha! jokes.

So this morning i woke up, determined to go to self defense class since i haven't been in a while. plus they were filming my class for byu tv. i missed my shot at being famous. anyways, i was putting in eyedrops, when all of a sudden i had a sharp and incapacitating pain in the right side of my neck. i thought it would go away in a second...wrong! here i am, four hours later, stuck in bed. it hurts. i may be dying. nah. it just hurts a lot. i'm really bored though because i deactivated my facebook a few days ago. so i've been on pinterest/hulu/gmail all day. then i remembered i haven't blogged in forever. so here goes.

HERE IS THE 4x5 film process:

1. check out camera and tripod.

2. load film into film holders. in the dark room.


3. set up camera.



4. focus. meter. calculate stuff. write it down in the exposure record booklet. this is the ground glass.



5. develop film. here we are washing it.



6. drying!

Weekend Update and More

in the way of digital photography assignments, this was my first this year. The assignment was to make a portrait in which the key light was artificial. The main thing we were practicing was getting skin tones to be accurate. it was hard! we also had to print it out. the non-profit print lab is SO GOOD. anyways, here's my pat.

This weekend was General Conference! Mom and dad got me tickets to the Saturday and Sunday morning sessions. I took pat. It was really great.

can i just say that i am wearing 5 inch heels in this picture? HAHA

Guess who had tickets in the same section as us? JESSICA JONES! Dan is friends with Pat.

Trying to get out of a parking garage after General Conference is pointless. This was after we explored the roof and looked over the top of Salt Lake City, trying to pass the time. We sat in the car for a long time. Hence the cute picture.

After conference we spent the day(s) at Pat's house. This is his nephew Max.

We had lots of fun playing with the babies.

Right after this picture was taken, Pat and I were wrestling on the grass, when the sprinklers came on all of a sudden and got my whole side soaking wet! It was pretty funny!

this weekend was the best. i didn't want it to end! i love weekends! and being with nice people!

curiosity made the cat gag

today i was going to the bathroom

and i noticed a pink bottle of perfume

under the sink.

i wanted to know what it smelled like

because it looked pretty.

so i sprayed it on myself.

now i have a headache and it's

making me feel sick.

Awesome you guys, awesome.

so there's this thing in provo called the daily skweez. it sends you texts every day with deals happening in the provo/orem area. today's was BUY ONE GET ONE FREE AT YOGURTLAND! Yogurtland is my favorite of favorite frozen yogurt places. it trumps all froyo. even the best hun-cal froyo. anyways, i had a stressful day today, so pat treated me to some delicious frozen yogurt. :)
