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.
