I keep having really weird, really freaky dreams. The moment I wake up, I forget almost all of it, but I’m left with this sense of intense fear and anxiety and lay there for a few moments too scared to move. Not quite sure what that means.

My final projects for both photo classes are coming along. For alternate, I plan to print various photos of Ev, with Van Dyke, onto a roll of paper towels. It turned out rather well when I printed Ben to test (although I didn’t fix it for fear of absorbing all the fixer and wasting it), so we’ll see how it goes. For color, I’m doing a more documentary-style portraiture shoot of CS life… which is to say, I’m shooting like I always do, except with my film camera instead of my digital. Dylan seems to be pleased with the results thus far… kinda ironic that I’m putting less effort into this (just shooting as I always do instead of racking my brain trying to think of things to shoot or trying to organize shoots) but it’s working out better. I want to assemble a book for the final, but I’m not sure if I’ll have enough images to do so, and if I do, I’m not sure I’ll have enough time to do so.

We’ve recieved the final assignments in all classes, so it’s all downhill from here. I’m a little worried about the graphics lab and final algo homework, but I’m sure I’ll eventually get it done. These next two weeks are going to be intense… followed by an intense week of finals (4 finals in 3 days… ew), and then it’s off to home.

Normally I’m kinda relieved to be heading home, even though I prefer it here in Pittsburgh. This year, however, that “Eh, whatever, I’ll go home” is turning into an intense feeling of longing. I don’t want to leave, despite really wanting to see my parents.
Relatedly, things in relationship land are amazing and I still feel like the luckiest guy alive.

Most of you already know I’m planning on graduating in December 2007. However, I’m contemplating becoming part time for my Fall 2007 semester. After next semester, assuming I pass all my classes, I will have exactly one requirement left to graduate, and it’ll be a CS elective. I’m planning on taking Computational Photography and Operating Systems… but there’s not really much else I want to take. That comes out to 24 units, which is less than the 36 required to be full-time. It’d be cheaper to pay for the units, especially given that I wasn’t planning on living in campus housing anyway. It’d absolve me (read: my parents) from various CMU fees too…
I dunno. Mark says it’s a good idea if I don’t really have anything else I want to take. I’m not on any scholarships that require me to be fulltime. I suppose I should discuss this with my parents.

I’m horribly behind on internship searching. I have no offers and no prospects, and it’s almost December. Blah. I guess that’s what Christmas break is for.

No pictar because I’ve been shooting all film and don’t have any of it scanned yet.
