longest weekend ever

seems like it anyway.

Today there were all these old vintage cars in town. They were pretty amazing. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera on me at the time when I saw them all pull out of the petrol station across from Ailsa's house. She gave me coffee and an easter egg though. Town has been quite busy this weekend, I don't really like it. I prefer town to be quiet, with no one there. Waaay too many people. This is the very start of tourist season I guess.

I've been putting together a digital portfolio of all the work for my photo project today. It has occurred to me that i only have about a month left, and i'm about to have a panic attack. Moving back to the states is going to be more like moving to a foreign country than it was when I got here. Hopefully all goes well with scheduling. I don't want to have to have 2 semesters left, I really need to graduate in December. Although that means figuring out what I am doing post-graduation even sooner. I wish I could go to Grad School here. or in AZ. one or the other. It would be nice to have more time to work on one project. Or get residencies. That would be nice too.

It was warm for two days but now it is back to being rainy and freezing. At least it looks like the temperature in Amsterdam should be a bit warmer. I met Morgan's two friends who will be with us in the 'Dam and they're really nice & funny.

Tonight, weather-permitting, Barry is letting me borrow some of his wooden masks that he made to use for photos. This week is going to be an incredibly busy one. My head is in a million places at once, and I really wish that it wasn't. All I want to do right now is sleep, but there is too much to do and too much to think about. I still want to go out west this summer after summer classes are over, if it's possible. I think it will do wonders to clear my head and make me feel better about being back in the states. I just need to figure out how much more expensive it is to rent a car if you're only 21. I'll figure it out though. I have no idea where exactly I want to go. I just want to go. I'll figure it out when I get there.
