This is what my day felt like today.
10:45- Wake up, internet, shower, and plan the assassination of my friend. An entire day and all i have to do is print ten pictures.
12:30- I begin printing my photography final.
12:40- My printer prints a sheet of red and gold streaks, and i mess with some settings.
12:50- It prints another sheet of streaks, and i resign myself to the McMaster (MM) lab.
1:00- I remember that my cameras were due at noon, and now i owe a $10 late fee.
1:10- I gather everything for the trek to MM because i only want to make it once, wipe the SD card, and realize that i don’t have anything to put my prints in.
2:00- I head to Russel, long check-out line, when was Mother’s Day?
2:30- Sheet protectors and presentation folder= $2.20. I’m proud of Russel for not ripping me off more thoroughly. =)
2:36- Mother’s Day is May 10th, i’m still good.
2:40- Paycheck and a HUGE package.
2:50- The package is from Aggie Moms! lunch, Maria’s note, picture frame gets “This is the Day that the Lord had Made” stuck in my head. =)
3:10- Media guy doesn’t charge me the late fee and lets me re-check out the D80.
3:15- My professor is in the printing lab.
3:20- I print my first pic, not great, but not horrible either.
3:25- I continue printing, and the pictures are consistently darker than they should be.
3:30- I print “Too Poor for Shaving Cream” and it’s so dark that i risk using my last spare sheet of paper.
3:50- I finish printing and have a surplus of sheet protectors, so i can add a cover sheet.
4:00- My professor is still “out to lunch” (from 3:25ish), so i can’t turn in the digital files.
4:10- I turn in the prints and begin to wait for my professor.
4:20- The last person leaves the lab, and the air conditioning is beginning to get to me.
4:40- I give up waiting and resign myself to walking back to MM later at the actual exam time.
5:30- I try to burn the files onto a CD so i can just put them in the box instead of trying to find my prof, but my computer tells me to “insert a disc.” Seriously? Fine, i’ll burn it at MM if the prof isn’t there.
5:45- My professor isn’t there. How do you burn on a Mac?
6:00- You don’t. Any cars want to take a shot? I’m so ready for you.
6:05- My mp3 player has juice.
6:15- Screaming along with Skillet and reflecting on the insanity of the day.
