Too much work, and to be frank, I fucking hate photography now.  It was the one thing I did solely for my own enjoyment, and some people who I won't name tried to make me do it for theirs.  <br /><br />I'm sick of this place and its drama, and I'm coming up on a very big change in my life, so I don't want to hang around here anymore.  I may check messages from time to time, but it will not be regular by any means.  Essentially, from this point on, I'm gone.<br /><br />Hope you understand.<br /><br />I wish you all the very best of luck in life and in all your endeavors.

Ni EspaÃ±a.  No sÃ© por quÃ©, pero hablan con el ritmo de esta ciudad, quizÃ¡ a causa de sus poderes magicales de hablar portuguÃ©s tambiÃ©n? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" />  No no pienso que podrÃ­a hablar portuguÃ©s, serÃ­a demasiado fÃ¡cil usar mi castellano para aprenderlo y mezclar los idiomas.

Je n'ai pas utilisÃ© mon franÃ§ais dÃ¨s mon dernier examen de franÃ§ais en mai, et je n'aime pas que j'aie perdu autant.  RÃ©alment, il n'y a pas beaucoup de moyens pour practiquer ici, et j'aurai besoin de lire quelque chose, mais je n'aime pas la litterature, c'est trop inutile pour moi Â¬Â¬<br /><br />Mais peut-Ãªtre je peux convaincre cerveau que un roman est utile?  Je pourrais dire moi-mÃªme que j'ai besoin de l'utiliser, comme l'expression "l'utiliser ou le perdre" en anglais.  Ãa ne donne pas le mÃªme sentiment traduite en franÃ§Ã¡is <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br />Mais l'idÃ©e est lÃ .  Est-ce que quelqu'un qui lit Ã§a sait un bon roman Ã  lire?  Quelque chose de facile, d'interessante, prÃ©ferablement.

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clap.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":clap:" title="Clap" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/spotlight-left.gif" width="23" height="22" alt=":spotlight-left:" title="Spotlight" />=alder-sketch<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/spotlight-right.gif" width="23" height="22" alt=":spotlight-right:" title="Spotlight" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clap.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":clap:" title="Clap" /><br /><br />First week of school OVER.  This is going to be a challenging semester.<br /><br />I'm liking all but one of my classes.  HIST 456 - Soviet Union.  It's a lot of reading, not a lot of writing, not a lot of discussing (how can you in a class with 35 people? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />).  I feel like I'm going to wind up doing a lot of reading and listening, then receive an A for one paper that doesn't really prove that I learned anything.  I'm considering dropping it.<br /><br />BUT.  The subject matter interests me.  And this is one of the few opportunities I'll get to take a class about it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dizzy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":dizzy:" title="Dizzy" /><br /><br />Other classes:<br /><br />RUS 202 - Intermediate Russian:  Challenging.  Not taught quite the way I'd like it, and I'm the only person in the class! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" />  I feel like I'm going to do a lot of work, and not get a lot in return.  So I'm going to finish up the semester as quickly as I can and worry about doing the class my way after that.<br /><br />FR 311 - French Conversation - WOW.  Awesome class.  The teacher is great, but her voice is painful.  I can't really blame her for that.  This is the first class I've taken where I feel like the teacher <b>really</b> knows how to get people to communicate - by banning English from the classroom.  We actually get points knocked off our grade for every time she catches us speaking in English.  If we don't know a word, we have to explain it in French, the way we would have to in France if we don't know a word.<br /><br />FR 312- French Composition - Good class.  Native speaker teaching it.  Writings get progressively harder throughout the semester, culminating in a final dissertation on a topic of our choice.<br /><br />LLEA 356 - 20th Century Russian Arts and Culture - Good class.  With my Russian teacher.  Interesting material, although the reading is a little dry.  Weekly papers, final research paper (roughly 2000 words).  I'll learn a lot, and this is the only reason I'm really hanging onto HIST 456 - it's a great compliment to it.  Maybe I could come up with some way to combine the two classes to my own benefit, doing half the work and getting twice the returns <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plotting.gif" width="18" height="20" alt=":plotting:" title="Hmm. Evil plotting in progress." /><br /><br />SPAN 403 - Advanced Conversation and Composition (Spanish) - Decent class, filled with morons.  as usual <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" />  Hopefully I'll be able to make the most of this - I've only got 5 classes left for a degree after it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />  I feel like I'm already so fluent in the language, it irks me that I can't just use the goddamn thing all day every day to build my confidence.  And it doesn't help that the two classes we've had so far have been nothing but listening to the teacher lecture <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" />  I HATE classes like that.  YOU CAN NOT LEARN HOW TO SPEAK A LANGUAGE WITHOUT ACTUALLY USING IT. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" />  Anybody that thinks you can is a complete and total moron, but I'm so close to a degree at this point, I don't even care anymore.<br /><br />HIST 456 - Talked about it.  Dry, but if I go the extra mile I can probably make it worth it.<br /><br />Also, I've pushed French back to a heavy minor.  I'm going to focus on linguistics for my minor, because the major is nothing but literature <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br />What do you think I should do?  Drop it or keep it?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cool.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="8-)" title="8-) (Cool)" /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://dATranslators.deviantart.com/art/dAT-Stamp-105486208"><img src="http://fc32.deviantart.com/fs38/f/2008/34... ]]></description>

Day after tomorrow.<br /><br />RUS 202 - Intermediate Russian<br />FR 311 - French Conversation<br />FR 312 - French Composition<br />LLEA 353 - 20th Century Russian Arts & Culture<br />SPAN 403 - Spanish Advanced Written/Oral Expression<br />HIST 456 - Soviet Union<br /><br />This semester is going to kick my ass.  I'm PUMPED!  I never learn anything in classes that don't make me hate myself and want to die - and from the looks of it, I have several that will do just that this semester.<br /><br />Filled out the appropriate forms for the double major (Russian/Spanish).  Knocked French back to a minor - may double-minor, French and Russian Area Studies (which would require me to take like... one extra class <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />)<br /><br />On the non-academic front, there were a few minor regrets with this break, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out.  Very productive, and now I'm on a schedule that will make it very easy to slide into the new semester.<br /><br />Also, I'm boycotting elevators <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/u/unimpressed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":unimpressed:" title="Unimpressed" />  My building's elevator stalled out on me on the fifth floor while going down, and this place is so decrepit and old that I don't want to risk getting back in there again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" /><br /><br />9 floors up and down, as many times a day as I need to take them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  I should have amazing legs by the end of this semester <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/number1.gif" width="35" height="31" alt=":#1:" title="#1" /><br /><br />Also, reading a good book.  Three of them, actually <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confuse.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":confused:" title="Confused" /><br /><br /><i>El Enigma de ParÃ­s</i> - yeah, it's aimed at readers a few years younger than me, but my castellano is suffering after this past semester, and I need to nurture it back into literature gradually.<br /><br /><i>Anna Karenina</i> - holy cow, literary crack.  Damn you, Tolsoy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br /><br /><i>A Small Corner of Hell: Dispatches from Chechnya</i> - required for HIST 456, this book has opened my eyes in ways I didn't know possible <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" /><br /><br />Spent all yesterday cleaning.  Now my room is clean and organized, I can't wait until this time in four months when it'll look like a college dorm room again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /><br /><br />Also: `<a class="u" href="http://laurart.deviantart.com/">laurart</a> is now officially currency.  Any purchases must be made in `<a class="u" href="http://laurart.deviantart.com/">laurart</a>s from this point forward - the exchange rate is 1000 `<a class="u" href="http://laurart.deviantart.com/">laurart</a>s for $50USD.  Figure out what that means for whatever you need. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br /><br />So what do you people have planned for the upcoming months <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confused.gif" width="15" height="30" alt=":?" title=":?

                <description><![CDATA[ Il y a environ une semaine, j'ai commencÃ© Ã  tousser beaucoup.  C'Ã©tait pas de problÃ¨me, mais depuis deux ou trois jours de tousser, les toux ont fait que je me fais mal Ã  la poitrine, et je suis allÃ© Ã  la clinique du campus pour reÃ§evoir quelque chose (comme mÃ©decine), et ils m'ont donnÃ© CodÃ©ine. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br /><br />Je n'aime pas du tout le CodÃ©ine, parce qu'il me fait trÃ¨s fatiguÃ©, mais c'est la seule chose qui m'aide.  L'infermiÃ¨re me dit que le problÃ¨me Ã©tait que mes allergies avaient mantifestÃ© sous forme du toux, parce que le mucus n'Ã©tait pas vert - il Ã©tait claire et jaune.<br /><br />Mais cette infermiÃ¨re n'Ã©tait pas le plus intelligent du monde.  Elle m'a dit que si j'avais une infection virale, elle me donnerait les antibiotiques, et tout le monde sait que les antibiotiques ne sont pas capable de traiter une infection virale.  En fait, ils font pire la situation, une autre chose que tout le monde sait. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br />Donc je prends du CodÃ©ine (lequel est horrible, au fait.  Il m'assome pendant un demi-jour), et j'Ã©spÃ¨re avoir me rÃ©tabli avant lundi.  Je ne peux plus manquer de classes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br /><br /><a href="http://flagcounter.com/more/i5xv"><img src="http://flagcounter.com/count/i5xv/bg=FFFFFF/txt=000000/border=CCCCCC/columns=2/maxflags=248/viewers=3/labels=0/"></img> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /></a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just thought I'd share, once again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /><br /><br />The toilet was running tonight, and like every American I know how to stop it.  I popped the lid off the tank and leaned it up against the wall (d'oh #1), and proceeded to untangle the chain.<br /><br />While I was untangling the chain, the lid fell over, right on my foot (d'oh #2), shattering into five or six big chunks and a million smaller ones.<br /><br />So I stopped the toilet from running, and proceeded to pick up the pieces of ceramic that littered the tiny, cramped, bathroom, and cut my thumb open on one of them. (d'oh #3).<br /><br />Who would have thought a tiny nick like that would bleed so much? D:<br /><br />But all in all it's been a productive week/day/whatever.  My Russian and French are improving by leaps and bounds every day, my Spanish kinda plateaued a while back, so it's rough adding vocab where I can, and I've taught myself the two Japanese syllabaries, which means all I have left is grammar, vocab and 1945 kanji and I'll be as fluent as a high-school graduate <a href="http://tarddanceplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/tarddanceplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontarddanceplz:" title="tarddanceplz"/></a>  <br /><br />Plus I taught myself 30 more pages of chemistry.  I'm almost back to the level I should have been at at the end of the year of chemistry I took in high school, four years ago <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/number1.gif" width="35" height="31" alt=":#1:" title="#1" /><br /><br />But <a href="http://seriouscatplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/seriouscatplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseriouscatplz:" title="seriouscatplz"/></a>, I'm not really having a great time this semester <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I'm so busy I don't even have time to work a few hours a week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br /><br />But I'm blaming Chemistry for that one.  I'll get a job scrubbing dishes in a few weeks, learn me some Japanese (maybe work in a Japanese restaurant scrubbing dishes? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />), then transfer to a high-paying job as the personal interpreter for a crime syndicate. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br />Or I'll start serving <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/u/unimpressed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":unimpressed:" title="Unimpressed" />  Whatever <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br />In the meantime, I haven't had much time for browsing, so I'm going to spend a few minutes finding features <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/97468127/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/253/6/d/Glass_of_Wine_by_La_Vita_a_Bella.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/97444933/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/252/0/c/Way_of_life____by_DigitriX.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/97314657/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs37/150/i/2008/251/d/3/dagger_by_hylinn.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://flagcounter.com/more/i5xv"><img src="http://flagcounter.com/count/i5xv/bg=FFFFFF/txt=000000/border=CCCCCC/columns=2/maxflags=248/viewers=3/labels=0/"></img> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /></a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was walking to the movie theater yesterday, and I had to cut through the woods to avoid construction.<br /><br />When I got out of the woods, I looked down at my legs, and saw that I was COMPLETELY covered in thousands of chiggers <a href="http://blankstareplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/l/blankstareplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconblankstareplz:" title="blankstareplz"/></a><br /><br />So I frantically brushed them off as best I could, spent the next 45 minutes walking and brushing and walking and brushing until I got most of them off, and saw <i>The X-Files:  I Want to Believe</i>.<br /><br />It was pretty much just a glorified episode, but I enjoyed it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/number1.gif" width="35" height="31" alt=":#1:" title="#1" /><br /><br />And now the chigger bites have kicked in, and I can't stop scratching <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br /><br />Not the first time this has happened, so I'll live <img

I like seeing what photographers and artists view as either their personal best, or, in my case, just the pictures that means the most to them.<br /><br />What about you guys <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confused.gif" width="15" height="30" alt=":?" title=":?

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it's that time of year again.  Yes, I'm talking about the end of May! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br /><br />It's when people realize that the year is almost half over, and that they haven't gotten crackin' on any of those resolutions they made around January 10th.  So they overcompensate for a month or so, lose interest, claim they've done it, and call it a year.<br /><br />Well, I figured I would do something different <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /><br /><br />Rather than center my NYRs around the same time as everybody else, I'm going to give myself a list of doable tasks to have completed by May 25, 2009 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omfg.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":omfg:" title="omfg" /><br /><br />I have many.  But here is the truncated and paraphrased version:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /> - Leer la serie completa de Harry Potter en espaÃ±ol. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /> - Take pictures EVERY WEEK. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" />  Regardless of whether or not I want to.  It's free, it's possible, I'm doing it, damn it.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omfg.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":omfg:" title="omfg" /> - Hit 30,000 pageviews, get a DD, or win a photography competition.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":eyes:" title="Eyes" /> - Get back into writing.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cool.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="8-)" title="8-) (Cool)" /> - In one year, be as fluent in French as I am now in Spanish, and be as fluent in Russian as I am now in French.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confuse.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":confused:" title="Confused" /> - Elevate the heartrate every day, even if only for a few minutes! D:<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flirty.gif" width="30" height="26" alt=":flirty:" title="Flirtatious" /> - Other various things!<br /><br />So what about you guys <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confused.gif" width="15" height="30" alt=":?" title=":? (Confused)" />  What do you want to have accomplished in a year?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I didn't realize that covering the Anonymous protest would result in such an awesome reaction... I should track their activity more often.<br /><br />I'm glad <a href="http://homedoggieo.deviantart.com/art/Anonymous-1-82669584">[link]</a> is taking off like it is <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br /><br />I just figured I would use this opportunity to say thanks for all of the <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plusfav.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":+fav:" title="+fav" />s on it, I'm too lazy to comment back on all of them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /><br /><br />Also, go see *<a class="u" href="http://vanlubeck.deviantart.com/">vanlubeck</a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Holy cow.<br /><br />I usually don't do the feature thing, but I just stumbled across a gallery so freaking cool and imaginative I <b>have</b> to.  Especially due to her criminally low amount of pageviews.<br /><br />*<a class="u" href="http://vanlubeck.deviantart.com/">vanlubeck</a><br /><br />She's a traditional painter with loads of imagination put into every piece.  I seriously can't put into words how cool I think her stuff is... you're just gonna have to check it out!<br /><br />*<a class="u" href="http://vanlubeck.deviantart.com/">vanlubeck</a> <a href="http://vanlubeck.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vanlubeck.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvanlubeck:" title="vanlubeck"/></a><br /><br />Just click something and go see her <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Things to know:<br /><br />1.) To prevent the messages from piling up while I'm gone, I've decided it might be smart to log in every once in a while to clear my box <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /><br /><br />2.) Originally I had created a second account, where I could have anonymity.  I've been using it a little bit, but I'm going to start moving stuff over here, deleting it from the new account.  I'll gradually transition back to ~<a class="u" href="http://homedoggieo.deviantart.com/">homedoggieo</a>... I just needed a break.  Big time.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br />3.) I'm not completely back yet (forum-whoring will resume Summer 2008), but I'll upload a few new shots so you guys can see what I've been up to <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br />4.) I had 500 or so messages when I responded.  I'm flattered, and will try harder to actually reply to them all.  Thank you all for your reception on "Summer II" -- I never thought that shot would take off like it did!<br /><br />--Daniel<br /><br /> ]]></description>
