Wow, I's been so long since I've written a post. Too long. I have just been so busy with work and friends, that all my time seems to be occupied. I'm not going to lie, I'm excited for school to be back in, and the fall leaves to come tumbling down off the trees. The U of C campus is gorgeous in the fall. I just feel that I need to do something with my days again, this never ending work schedule is wearing me down and boring me. The only thing that makes me want to put off September is Mait leaving for school in Lethbridge. That will be hard. But we'll see.
Right now I'm sitting at my island on my laptop eating a sandwich and a bowl of blueberries. Best thing about summer: All the delicious fruit. Definitely.
Since my last post, a lot has happened. I got a new camera!! I bought it off a friend for $500.00 and she barely used it. It's a Nikon DX40 with an 18-55mm lens. I am in love with it, now I can really start learning the ropes of photography and hopefully get good at it! I had been just borrowing my parents little camera and using that to take all my pictures, so this new camera will be a lot better! For Brad's birthday (like a month ago) Maitland, Amanda, Brad and I went up to Mait's parent's country house for the weekend and we had so much fun. Amanda and I went off and took pictures around the house, and i'm really happy with how some of them turned out. There's an old blue Chevy in the middle of a field, so we used that for a lot of the pictures.

Some music that I've been really into lately are:
Bombay Bicycle Club
Julian Casablancas
Nick Drake
Life in Film (listen to get Closer. So catchy)
Neon Indian
Hawksley Workman
Sufjan Stevens
They are all such good artists/ bands. Go look up some of their songs and take a listen.
Another thing that has happened recently, is the death of a great teacher at my high school. Mr. McGowan died in a car accident over the weekend, and it really hit hard. I had him for English 20 and 30, and have so many great memories of him. He was such a fun teacher and will be greatly missed. People have been putting up posters to write memories and notes on the front doors of my old high school and leaving flowers. It's a sad loss. Here's the news story: Skye McGowan
