Yeah.

I realize it's been...well...forever. It's been a crazy busy couple of months. I won't go into full details, but I had plenty of things distracting me from the ol' blog.
But now, hopefully, I'm back!

Let's see...what have you all missed....

I bought a brand-new camera with some Christmas money! It's an Olympus E-330, and it's pretty sweet. It's a digital SLR, which means it has every feature a 35mm film camera has, and then some. I can change the lenses on it and all that kind of stuff. When my family and I went to Chicago for spring break, it got quite a testing. I took around 300 pictures with it...yikes! It is a lot of fun to play with.

I turned 20 on March 26th! I am now no longer a teenager! For the first time in a while, my birthday didn't actually fall on spring break week, so my family and I celebrated my birthday in Minnesota a few days before. I got some awesome gifts, including a wireless remote for my camera, some great CDs, and a card to join the Apple cult (in other words, an iPod).

School's been amazingly busy. I'm in my last semester of Russian, so things are finally winding down for that. The journalism class I'm taking is an unbelievable amount of work. I have had to 4 or 5 big stories (which is always more work than it sounds like). The links to all those can be found down below, along with some pictures and other fun stuff.

Well...I will definitely be trying to keep up with this thing now that someone has requested it (mom).
