i'm still alive, really

That about says it. I'll get some more posts here in the bye and bye.

I'm more or less finished moving in to my righteous new dorm. It was sort of weird getting everything in. But my roommate is pretty cool, even if he doesn't really clean up after himself. The food and the classes are glorious. My only complaint is that whatever asshole who designed the dorm only put in 3 medium sized elevators in a building with 28 floors. So it's not uncommon to have a 10 minute wait for an elevator. Lame. But I spend most of my time with my brand new friends in the other dorm. To the point that I'm getting a cot to put in one of my friend's room. They have 8 elevators for 18 floors. The fuckers.

Photo class is amazing. They have roughly 3 entire office building sized floors dedicated to straight up film photography and another two to digital. I'm so goddamn happy to be here and not at MSOE. Sorry about the $15,000, mom and dad.

Back from Maine now. It was quite the time up at Hyde (my brother's boarding school). We yoga(ed)/meditated way the hell up in northern Maine, built a boat (13 ft. long. It floats too.), and volunteered at a camp for mentally and physically challenged kids. It was pretty intense. I felt inadequate as an intern - I really didn't lead the students well. Everyone says "Oh, Sean, you did fine." I don't believe them. They don't really believe what they're saying either. The guy in charge of the whole program threatened to fire me, so that speaks for itself. Oh well. There were lots of wonderful and real people I was able to meet. It makes me wish that I went to Hyde during high school, even though it would have been gruelling. Better than that sorry-assed Christian school I went too.
