ZMONGS TRUFFLES!

Posted on by

So I’ve spent the past 12 hours with Ben making fresh, made-from-scratch truffles. We have plain chocolate truffles with almonds and mint truffles with sprinkles. Mmmm.

Yeah, that’s all I have to say. We probably ended up with between 170 and 200 truffles (of which I took about 60). If you want one (or two or three) poke me sometime.

I’m in a good mood today :)

Edit: If you’re one of the few who follows my photography, I’ve uploaded a bunch more photos into art (the studio shoot of Ben and my final assignment from color photo).

Snow and classes (what more do you need?)

It snowed today. Actual, thick, sticking, fluffy snow.
Awesome.

Second day of classes went well. I suppose I should summarize on everything…

Yesterday was Portrait Photography and Graph Theory. Portrait looks like it’ll be full of awesomeness. I’m going to shoot Ben sometime this week (probably Thursday) for the first assignment. I also need to order some 2 1/4″ film and photo paper for the class. Graph Theory looks like it’s going to be workdeath and mathdeath, but soooo worth it. Mackey is the most amazingly awesome professor ever.

Today I had Networks and Web Apps. They start at 1:30 and are in the same room, one after the other. This makes my Tuesdays and Thursdays awesome. Networks is going to be hard, duh, but I’m sure I can do it. Web Apps is looking like the easiest CS course I’ve ever taken. I’ve done most of the topics for the first 3 weeks, and we only have half a semester of formal lectures since the second half is dedicated to the individual project. This project is also open ended, which means I can write that online RPG I’ve been wanting to and call it homework. Amazing.

Next Monday evening is my final class, Photography and Photographers since WWII (photo history). It seems like it should be a good course, but the reading is very dry. Mar.
