goodbye.

today i had a lab lunch to say goodbye to a few people from my lab. well my old lab, since i don't really work there anymore either. aihua, pronounced like iowa, who is one of the post docs is going to virginia tech. weird timing, right? it's very strange to me that the whole lab is pretty much going to be dissolved, for lack of a better word, by the summer. i guess that's how science goes though, you can only work on a project until it's done. :]

the photoshoot was pretty good. my friend only had a zoom lens for his camera, so it was kind of impossible to get some of the shots i wanted to take. he couldn't really answer all my questions about how to use his camera either, so it was a little hard to get the hang of things. i'm probably going to do some more once the summer comes, and i have more time. they have a lot of funny ideas for "press photos" which are like staged group photos that every band tends to have.

otherwise not a whole lot to talk about. i've completely lost my scrapbooking mojo. i was working on this mini album, which i now want to call a STUPID mini album, and it just wasn't going how i wanted it to go. so it drained me, and i haven't been able to go back to my desk since. plus, i entered this contest at the scrapbook store up the street from my house, and when i went in to see what page number mine was so that i could tell people to vote for it, i got so mad at where they had put my page. ha. i know it's such a dumb thing to get mad about, right? but my page has a lot of watermarking on it, which is pretty subtle and they put my page in a place where the lighting is horrible, so you can't really see any of the details. grr. they have another challenge for this month, but i don't even know if i want to do it now. :[

right now, i just feel like i need a break from everything. i need to sleep for a whole day and then have a whole day to watch movies, eat ice cream, and do nothing. i'm just worn out from everything... even things that are supposed to be fun to me. i guess i just need to stick it out though. summer will be here soon enough.

on a good note, i've really been wanting that little camera that carol's sister brought over from korea for the longest time now. they've had some on ebay, but i'm too much of a skeptic to buy it from there. well james' parents are going to korea like next week, and he said they will probably be able to get the camera for me. :] i am so excited to get that little baby in my hands.

oh any my brother and sister-in-law are coming to visit tomorrow. so that will be nice. today is actually their one-year anniversary. :] how fun.

anyway. i hope everyone is having a good day.
