It's here!

My first Unit has arrived! I'm so excited! I have 4 lessons to read (which include lots of large example photos), 5 CD's of lectures to listen to, and a DVD to watch. Then I have a test to take and a photo project to complete. I also got my light tent today and a DVD on how to use it.

However, I have a Bible study to catch up on and a birthday party to throw on Sunday. So I guess it will have to wait a bit.

It's a niece!

But I already knew that. Stephen and Amy just had an ultrasound and confirmed that they are having a baby girl.

We went to the zoo again

Last Thursday Josiah, Adaya, and I went to the zoo with some friends. Chris and Ava came. As did Joel, Natalie, and baby Garrett (his first trip to the zoo). And of course we were graced with the presence of Mrs Carlson.

Photo school

This evening I enrolled in the New York Institute of Photography. I am going to take their professional photography course. I've been feeling kind of stagnant in my photography lately, like I'm just not getting any better. Hopefully, this will give me the skills to take my photography to the next level. It's a study at home, at your own pace kind of thing. They say it can be completed in half a year. I'd like to finish in two years, but they allot up to three. The tuition goes up $200 at the end of the week, that's why I decided to enroll now. I also got $350 off the current price. Now if only I had a couple of friends who also A) wanted to take the course and B) could afford to take it.
