Well, the beginning of March has brought good news, but it's news that will change my summer plans for this blog. I found out that I will be taking a slightly different job this summer. Rather than my customary job as a CA, I will be a summer RA. Due to the fact that I'm taking a rather nasty summer chemistry class, the RA job just seemed like the more reasonable option. I can't imagine going to a five and a half hour chem lab after having worked a night shift. That has nightmare written all over it. The only disappointing thing is that the job switch will make the daily shots of Lincoln's skyline impossible. The building I am moving to this summer is not a tall one, and I have no idea which direction my window will face. Even if I had maintained my CA job, they switched to an adjacent building, and the chance that I would face downtown was slim.
Though this saddens me a little (it was a fun little project, after all), I'm more than happy to try to get creative with this. Rather than always doing the skyline from the same window, I might parking garage hop to get elevated shots of downtown or sunsets to post. Besides sunsets/downtown shots, I may widen the focus to storms and all other campus or Lincoln photography. In any case, if I want to continue with this little hobby, something will have to change. This is also the first summer I'll have to experiment with my new DSLR camera in depth, so we'll see how it all goes. :)
Finally, I don't like to not include pictures with a post. It weirds me out. So, here are some random pics I've taken within the last month. Since Christmas break I've used my camera pitifully small amount. Mainly because the mild winter has given me nothing to photograph outdoors. Sure, it's warm, but brown grass and no flowers isn't too attractive...

| This is the only skyline I have to offer at the moment. It was just a crappy little photo I snapped while visiting my friends in Omaha. I must admit that it would be pretty cool to be able to photograph this skyline again (or better yet, a skyline of a "real" city.) |

This isn't an outdoor shot at all, but I'm sharing it anyway... My first "froyo". We had coupons that required you to get up to $10 worth of toppings or frozen yogurt, and even then it was only $7.50-ish when I checked out. I had to buy a water to get it up to $10. Even about $2.50 short, this was the most obscenely unhealthy thing I have ever eaten...

| This is another completely unrelated photo. This one was taken with my DSLR. I think the difference is obvious between this pic and the previous two, which were taken with my little Fujifilm point-and-shoot. I can't wait until I have time to really experiment with my fancy DSLR and get used to all of the bells and whistles. |
