The weather was nice the other day, very sunny and warm probably about 90 degrees. I decided to finally get out of the house so that I could get some fresh air as I knew it would make me feel better and went over to my grand parents to swim. I was only out there for about 2 hours, but I'm an idiot and never wear sunscreen (big no no). I have a pretty nice tan going on, and I decided for the second time to use some dark tanning oil (which has ZERO SPF in it) which was a very big mistake. Okay, maybe it wasn't a mistake but I am definitely still hurting a bit 2 days later. I also some how managed to rub some of it over my face (even though I didn't mean too) because my face got a lot more red than it should have and my poor nose is burnt to a crisp! Word to the wise: WEAR SUNSCREEN!

Today was fairly nice; I miraculously went to sleep last night at a decent time...it was still late, but 2:30am is better than 6-7am which also allowed me to wake up at 11:30 rather than 8pm in the evening. I was awake at 11 this morning but didn't roll out of bed until 11:30. I left around 2pm with my mom to head over to my grand parent's house and spent the day in the pool, it was just a really nice relaxed day. Now it's thundering and lightning outside, and I hope my internet doesn't get knocked out or I'll be pissed, haha.

I was thinking the other day that I really would like to get back into my photography. I've taken two photography classes at the community college I go to (which btw, I'll have my AA finished in Dec. eeeh!!) and I thoroughly enjoyed them; they were film black & white photography classes in which we took our photos, we developed the film and we made our prints. My grand parents bought me a Canon EOS Rebal T2 for my birthday (February) this year and I've only used it thus far for my photography class which I took this past semester...I did use it to take pictures at my brother's graduation but outside of taking photos for school projects, I haven't used it. I really need to find some places to take pictures and just go and shoot, colored & black and white. I enjoy taking pictures that give a nostalgic feel and I enjoy the usual flowers & such, I really want to find a nice macro lens but when it comes to things like that I don't know what's good, what's bad or where/what to look for. SOMEONE HELP :)
