Hello Internet,
Let me recount my day for you...
An early rise as has been every Wednesday for the past 3 months. 5:30 Ashley, not so attractive, especially when unfed.
Lucky me though, this morning's lab was on the heart and digestive tract, so the dust was blown off of this past summer's Bio12 course. It was easy, breezy, and not as beautiful as CoverGirl unless you consider shades of pig intestines, liver and lungs as shades of beauty.
After successfully completing and submitting my D2L (Desire to Learn) assignment online my girlfriends and I oggled at beautiful men in a magazine dedicated to displaying beautiful man celebrities w/in their pages. Once the crossword was complete and the lack of Jackson Rathbone on the Hot Vampire Page crushed my heart, an Orlando Bloom look-a-like was spotted in our caf.
Next, my favourite class! Biological Anthropology was more exciting than it already always is because our prof shared w/ us a recovered First Nations skull from someone's basement. It was uber interesting as we got apply our knowledge of bone features to try and identify whether the individual had been male or female... we settled on most-likely-male. The head was interestingly shaped as some Coastal First Nations tribes used to practice head binding/flattening where the head of an infant would be bound so that when the various plates in the skull fused an individual's skull would have a more flattened shape. Now our prof has to determine exactly which First Nations group this skull belongs to so they can give a proper burial and what-not.
*sigh* so beautiful.
Anyways the rest of the day was a mix of hanging w/ friends, a presentation by classmates in one class and a boring friendless 50 minute lecture for Biology. However, I did some surfing and found the perfect camera to fit my lifestyle!
Ok, break down on how I am w/ electronics.
I am very tough on them.
I fried my walkman when changing the disc as I was getting water from a water cooler after P.E. then went on to disassemble the poor thing so that now it works awkwardly and is held together at one end by duct tape.
I once drowned my i-Pod by keeping it in a cargo-pant pocket that was just under my rain coat during one of the most ridiculous rain periods I have ever experienced in my "hometown." Now it decides how much music is allowed on the i-Pod and when it will allow me and has found its home... I can't even remember where, probably close to the walkman.
My first cell phone enjoyed being dropped down concrete stairs and sliding across pavement to the point where it committed suicide and took my phone calls hostage. It now sits on a shelf being lonely and lifeless.
And my current digital Kodak camera after taking three tries to find one that works was involved in a battle to the balls when it was taking a ride in my back seat pant pocket as I (sober) and a drunken guy friend got into a spat and he pushed me to the gravel. Her LCD screen is forever cracked and now sports a cutout of the M&M guys. Though she still takes photos and video I will never see through her eyes again... until I plug in the SD to my lap top that is...
As of right now, my ridiculously priced (could have been free) cell phone has survived the past... 2 months? w/o toooooo much damage... just a couple of scrapes... all minor and this time I paid for extra coverage!
Anyways... back to my story...
This camera I have been looking at is gorgeously black and orange and is waterproof and dust proof and if I'm really good will be protected by a hard case not some flimsy cloth sewn together to look pretty and by overpriced.
It's a Pentax Optio WS80 which will accept my SD card and is just beautiful!
Next on my to-do list is learning how to save money.... but before I do that I should put my body into over drive and finish at least one of my papers!
Thumbs up for procrastination.
Yes... well, that was my amazing finding
