New Camera

Just bought a new camera, I'm really looking forward to getting it. Although I know the basics concerning the technical aspects of cameras, and on my little point and shoot I have tweaked the settings a bit, my new Canon XSi won't even be on the same playing field. I got a bargain deal on it at $649, and although I am now broke, I've got enough once in a lifetime trips coming up that I think it is validated. It was shipped to me today, should be here by Friday. Should have a good time this weekend trying to become a real photographer, haha.

Hmm... what to do.

Haven't really figured out what to use this blog for just yet... but I will. Have simply been doing more research and reading about blogs and other social media lately, which is actually turning out to be quite interesting. I've been using social media for a long time, and I know that is is valuable to people of all ages and for many different reasons, but watching Harvard scholars talk about it is kind of cool.

Also, due to some good news on the financial front, the trip to Asia might be expedited. It's possible I may leave in October (as opposed to November), and may stay a month longer. I'm also going to Utah over spring break for some outdoor activities, to check out the University of Utah for grad school, and to look for a place to live. And I think I might buy a new camera. Exciting.

The Beginning of the Beginning

This is the start of my personal blog. I haven't figured out exactly what to do with it yet, but I will. When I leave for Asia, this will be a a documentation of the trip. Until then, we'll have to wait see...
