the joy in discovery

   i have been so please lately with the time i take to explore places. when i say places, i mean anywhere... a hiking trail, nearby park, an antique store i've never been too, the list goes on. i started writing, in my journal, tips for being "an explorer in an urban world". sounds kind of silly, but it was fun writing this list (i'll scan it and post it on here soon!). sometimes i think to myself, that i am so happy i started this blog, because it makes me photograph so much more. on that subject, it also makes me go out and explore more (at least, i feel like it does!). 

   i have also realized i am now an "official" college student. i pulled my first, almost, all-nighter (and all morning) on a project for one of my education classes. i was rushing to even finish before i had to leave to go to class. this is normally not me because i like to work on projects over time, but i completely spaced it off until yesterday evening. then, just to my luck, it is not even due until next week. well, at least it is all complete! i finished off the rest of my day walking around a trail in the suburbs, getting coffee with a friend, and now to finish an essay for an english class. needless to say, i'm ready for a full, good night's sleep. 

   readers, would you consider yourself as more of an "outdoors person" or an "indoors person"? (if you read my blog, you can tell which one i am!)
