I woke early Thursday morning excited and a little nervous. My first day
to use my new camera for an assignment we had just gotten in class. Its
like taking out the brand new car for the first time.
(although the"smell" isn't quite there ) We were going out to a nearby
historic town to try it out. I didn't have to be there till 9.
So I had time to take the kids to school. We left a few minuets
before 8.
(they start at 8, as do I so I don't get to take them to school often) I started the van and there was a no so good noise. I decided
to carefully ignore it.
The kids got to school fine. But my attempt to get home was not as
successful. A very loud noise and loss of power steering later, really made me wish my careful ignoring had been more thought through.
My thinking was this.... "I can not be late to my first day of shooting"
What am I going to do?
We don't really know anybody yet that can just drop everything and help us out. A taxi drive, $8.50 and 10 minuets had me back home and on my
way to class.
Thank the Lord we are in a more rural area. The van was fixed by a real
nice mechanic before I got back. But set us back $300.
One thing that has been drummed into us this past week and a half is to...
"not be late!".
No matter what!
Aside from that, It has been a real good week and I am even more excited
about doing this school.
We already have 5 assignments, from writing a press release to capturing
"side light", "front light", and "back light".
I will keep you posted on some of my results and where you will be able
view them.
Other family news includes, Noah and his new set of eyes. He doesn't have
a site problem, (his eyes are 20/20) but a vision problem. We were able to
get him to a vision therapist and she said that he uses his whole physical body
to visualize.
So his glasses are calming in nature not corrective. He has to go back and
have vision therapy.
He is looking very studious which really fits his season of life.
Our week in a nutshell.
Check in soon
