mikao's world

early mornings

i worked on my scrapbook a bit this afternoon, and then tonight i went with joanne, maria, and my old RD (residence director) carol to a farm to see some lambs.

i'm not really enthralled with farm life, having grown up on cattle and sheep farms it's all "old hat" (what a lame-o phrase), but joanne and maria were pretty excited to see lambs close up. so that was neat. i took lots of pictures, hopefully they turn out neat.

and the other day i borrowed the remote control off the yearbook camera (it's the same as mine just an earlier model) to try out some night shots so i don't get camera shake (your shutter is open longer for night pictures, and if you don't have your camera held completely still, then you end up with fuzzy pictures. a remote control is used to click the picture instead of you holding the camera and pushing the button). i want to see if i can take some good pictures of the chapel when it's lit up at night, and maybe some stars. i've never tried to take star pictures before.

anyway, tomorrow the yearbook staff is going out for greek takeout at this new greek restaurant in moose jaw for lunch which should be interesting… i'm not sure how many are actually coming so it may be just me (the layout editor) and Melissa (the editor) and our advisor (our dean of students), which would be a very weird situation.

and after that i'm going with holly and rachel to this waaaay geeky scrapbooking afternoon workshop thingy. holly has never scrapbooked before, and has made fun of me for the past two years. ha ha, i have successfully converted her. she's going to be a scrapbooking consultant, having her own homebased business within a matter of months, i'm sure of it.

"i always feel like such a blond or something when i'm on farms. they didn't teach us anything in school. please don't tell anyone i thought that the goats were male sheep!"
