Boy, I Need to Update

In an attempt to distract myself from studying for finals, I decided that I needed to update my photo blog! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures worth sharing. (Sad story). However, I will be graduating soon and hope to devote more time to my photography and subsequently, this blog.

Snow Time

It has been a whiiiile since I update here, but I took some new pictures yesterday, so I thought I'd update. I love snow days (and who doesn't?). They're just a time to sit back and relax...even if it is in the snow.

BONOfied

Last night, I went to the U2 concert in Norman, OK at the University of Oklahoma. U2 is my absolute favorite band, and it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. U2 can put on a show like no one else. This is a picture from the show.

Blog Action Day!

This is a picture of a group of South African Penguins at the Memphis Zoo. Soon, zoos may be the only place where these types of penguins can be seen. Today is blog action day, and the focus is on climate change. Because of climate change, South African Penguins are fast becoming a species of the past. Rising global temperatures mean adjustments in ocean currents. Currents that are so vital in providing a sustainable living environment for the fish that these penguins eat. If the currents are altered, there are no fish around for the Penguins to eat, and therefore, no Penguins.

This honestly seems somewhat convoluted, but I hope you get the point. Our actions have an impact on even the smallest and cutest of God's creatures. So tonight, do something that will help to stem the effects of global climate change. Un-plug your electronic devices when you go to bed. Turn down your thermostat just a little bit on this cold night. Take a shorter shower.

There are so many things you can do that are so simple, but that can make a big impact.

Getting in the Spirit

Anyone who knows me knows that I have an unhealthy love of Christmas music. So much so, that I begin listening to it months in advance. This has not changed this year, and I began listening today, so I thought this pic was very appropriate. I'm already very ready for Christmas 2009!

School Days

So, this is the first update in a while...sorry about that. I've just been busy. And I also saw this skit by Second City where the actors sang a song called "Nobody Reads Your Blog", and I got self-conscious. Anyway, I'm back, currently I'm trying to write a paper for my American Foreign Policy class. The picture above, I feel, captures my disdain for writing this paper.

Yesterday

My friends and I took an amazing float trip over the weekend. A last hoorah for the summer. This is most of the group.
