why are your photographs so gorgeous? It's pretty unfair, ben AND BY THE WAY, I went to go visit my grandfather a few weeks ago and my family had to drive through Daytona beach to get there! We drove past your school, I think, and I soo badly wished I had brought my laptop! it's really gorgeous there!

"a bit toasty"? that sounds unbearable! This is why Canada's weather is perfect for me - blazing for a few days in the summer, warm the rest, cool in the fall and then icy in the winter! I suck at the cold though, I turn into a popsicle. A me-sized popsicle. But right now, warm with a cool breeze! Be jealous

not gonna lie, it's pretty miserable during the summer. it's like living in a convection oven until the rare times when i get enough free time to go diving, then it's pretty awesome how's life other than the temperature??

ahaha, sounds like a moment of freedom life otherwise is good. Back to school next week, and lots of new classes. not sure if I'm looking forward to all of them or not! how about you? how's everything in your world?

Well... 16 hours of studying a day... that's about all there is haha. I'm trying to make a small light studio for my camera but school is always getting in the way what classes are you taking?

icandealwithfate In reply to BlindDirective [2012-09-25 16:54:43 +0000 UTC]

oh god, that sounds rough. the camera studio sounds cool though! you're already really good at photography, so I can't wait to see the outcomes once it happens! I'm taking political theory, politics in europe, politics in Canada, psychology, medical anthropology, and of course, poetry what are you taking? I feel like your courses would be way more interesting than mine.

BlindDirective In reply to icandealwithfate [2012-10-02 21:19:13 +0000 UTC]

those sound awesome! at least the ones that aren't political haha mine definitely aren't that interesting.. i've got aerospace structures 2 (which has a 80% failure rate.. yay), aircraft stability and control (which has about 10-15 hours of homework a week), aerodynamics 2, and preparation for active duty (air force). i would love to have time to take psychology and medical anthropology though, they sound really interesting

I take it you're a math/science-y kind of person! I'm jealous. Unfortunately, all I'm good at is writing essays. Politics is good for me that way Yeah I'm really looking forward to medical next term! It was always one of my ambitions to become a doctor, until I realized I was terrible at all forms of math and chemistry. Now it's law school for me. Pretty boring. so what do you study in structures 2? I feel like that one would be really difficult (notwithstanding the 80% failure rate, which I'm sure you will not be part of!)

BlindDirective In reply to icandealwithfate [2012-10-03 16:16:16 +0000 UTC]

a law degree?! look at you smarty pants! structures 2 is like flow of shear forces in structures like wings and also something called imaginary work... which makes no sense yet haha. what type of medical stuff are you doing next term?

icandealwithfate In reply to BlindDirective [2012-10-04 02:54:56 +0000 UTC]

if I can get into law school, most definitely! not criminal law though, I spook myself out pretty badly over that kind of thing. that sounds awesome! I want to do imaginary work! Instead I have to read and reread the canadian constitution so by forces do you mean like... natural ones? wind etc? or like electricity. Or something else completely? I'm doing like a historical review of medical anthropology, so I'll be studying how the human body has changed and adapted over the last however-many-years to fight against certain diseases, changes in climate, geography etc. It's pretty cool stuff!

Law school AND medical anthropology? Smarty McSmartbrain over here. What college are you going to? Also, I mostly study The Force and how to be a good jedi.

Smarty McSmartbrain? That's gotta be a first, I don't think I've ever been called that before I'm currently at the university of Toronto for Politics (hence all the politics courses), but for law school when that time comes, either McGill, UofT or hopefully somewhere in the states! we'll see You're a jedi?? LUCKY! Life would be so much easier if I could just use the force on random crap. The closest I get to being a Jedi is walking through automatic doors at the grocery store around the corner ;D

I lived in New York for a few years! Yeah, I think we're bigger by a bit, but the amount of habitable land is much smaller - the North is a barren wasteland in a lot of ways! Pretty though Yeah, gotta get it medicated once in a while. That always helps with that issue! Stupid unicorns.

Have you ever been up north??? I want to go there so bad, my friend is from Alaska and I'm going to try and go home with him this summer before heading off to Europe! Hey unicorns are people too!

icandealwithfate In reply to BlindDirective [2012-10-25 06:02:03 +0000 UTC]

of course! I'm from Quebec, so most of my family will take trips up north together every once in a while It's really gorgeous, in a lonely kind of way! Personally, I love the outdoors so the vast amount of trees and then barren landscape really appeals to me. Farther up is my favorite though, because you can see glaciers. Ooh, also whale watching. So, so beautiful. You're going to Europe this summer?? that's so amazing, I'm jealous! where are you going?? my friend's cousin goes to alaska bible college, and I've heard it's gorgeous. If you go, take pictures for me!

yeah I think my camera is going to need a vacation after this summer. me and my buddy are gonna try to get to as many countries as possible and maybe even get into north africa a bit we've been basically spending the last couple of weeks compiling all the places we absolutely have to go like the ardennes forest, anywhere in romania, france, italy, spain, scotland, england (he has friends and family there), obviously we'll be living in ireland for the fall , and I REALLY WANT TO GO TO NORWAY.

oh absolutely. Ahh, you don't understand how jealous I am! my older brother is doing the same thing this coming summer. And I'm actually considering doing a placement next year in Paris for school! We'll see if I can afford it, but the plan is to spend either a semester or the whole year studying in France! That sounds like such a great trip though, seriously! Spain,France, and the UK are totally amazing. Ardennes - that's around Belgium and Luxembourg, isn't it? Romania and Norway are legitimately two of the places I want to visit the most! I've heard the photography there, especially Norway, is to die for! And of course, ireland is a must!
