Keeping Busy.

Today has been a long day in the dark room. My first project for Photography class is due this week. The demo days were pretty overwhelming because there are a lot of steps and everything is pretty sensitive. In the dark room, there is a closet that is pitch black where you have to take the roll of film out of the canister and into a container all based off of touch. It's an interesting experience. After that you have to develop the film which is exposing the film to different chemical liquids so that we can use it to print. If that is successful then you can start making prints which is what I have been doing all day. Making proof sheets, dodging, burning and basically anything to make the prints look decent has been my challenge of the day. I have gone through a lot of paper and I am not 100% satisfied with my final prints but it is my first time. I will try and post them when I get a chance.

This past weekend, I did my first APU Azusa Food Bank Ministry service. It was a rainy morning and we went to Foothill church which is just down the street. I got assigned to washing tables and then folding clothes for the homeless to go through and pick out what they want. After that I cleaned dishes (I realized that I kind of like washing dishes. haha). Then once we opened the doors to the homeless people, I served salad and pudding to them. It was eye opening experience because I never gave much thought to a homeless person and it made me thankful for how much God has provided for me. We are all blessed. All the volunteers were pretty cool. They were all freshmen except for the leaders. haha. I feel like such a newbie ever since I transferred. Next time we are suppose to go help at another church so it will be interesting to see how they help out those less fortunate.

Also, I finally joined 24 hour fitness! I am going to try to go at least 3 times a week but so far these first days of having the membership have been busy. I might have to reevaluate my goal but hopefully I will be able to get into the groove of things and make time for it.

Alright that is pretty much it on this end. Hope things are going well in your neck of the woods.
