Patients
Patients or is it patience? Not being able to spell eliminates the confusion for my 5 year old nephew. Well that and the fact that he has neither patients nor patience. Neither is really expected.
I have none of the former and I'm doing my best to control the latter.
On the one hand, I have a few more papers to write for a class this quarter. Due Monday. Yet I'm having trouble sitting down and just DOING it. The ideas are there, but the words don't come. The words that do come are stilted and misspelled. It's harder and harder to have patience with a broken system when deadlines loom.
On the other hand, I just cashed in my piggy bank, cashback bonus and other monies squirreled away. I had considered buying a shiny/sparkly necklace for my girlfriend, but the idea shocked her as outlandish. Shoes on the other hand might have been welcome.
Instead, I splurged and ordered a new digital camera:
That was some piggy bank.
In general, a real DSLR is something I've been dreaming about for quite some time. So lots of patience there. However, the process of waiting for it all to arrive? KILLING ME.
Especially since the memory card arrived today. (A mere two and a half days after ordering.) I can see on the UPS pages that everything but the travel charger/extra battery is in the Chicagoland area.

Anyway, hopefully you'll see an improvement in the photos I post. And hopefully it'll be soooon. And hopefully Zooomr won't still be upgrading to Mark III... and hopefully...
damn. need to work on that patience.

- Canon Digital Rebel XT body
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II camera lens
- 4GB Compact flash memory card
- 52mm Close-up Filter Set
- Battery and Smart Travel Charger for Rebel XT
