updates

Seems I'm pretty bad at maintaining any form of on-line journal. I'll keep trying though, thats the kind of guy I am :)

I managed to pass my two courses I was taking last semester with A's, much to my pleasant surprise :) I was going into one course with a 65% (just a pass in Grad school) and managed to come away with an 80% which blew me away.

I had a week or so between semesters to recover and get ready for the next. I'm taking only one course this semester, and am hoping to get a lot of research done. It'll be hard to balance school and research with enjoying the summer, but I have previous experience being cloistered doing work while the sun beats down outside.

I busted my ankle a couple weeks ago, doing nothing stupid (tripped leaving my house) and it has really hampered my ability to do many of the things I enjoy. I'm feeling much better now that I have a brace for it. I also started Physiotherapy today, which should help with recovery and prevention of further injury.

I really want to enjoy this summer. I plan to do all sorts of stuff from hiking, walking, fishing, swimming, lots of BBQing, etc. All with my trusty sidekick, my camera, close at hand. I've really been taken with a serious photography bug in the last couple years, especially now that I have a decent camera of my own. It's my main creative outlet, and I like to think I am improving.

I might take a photography class this summer. Theres one offered that involves some indoor classes, at a studio, as well as a couple afternoons of outdoor instruction.

I need to get some of my photos printed for a portfolio of sorts.

Well, I've been blathering on so I should take off, look for further updates at some point sooner than before :)
