okay so how did it go?!

hey girlie,
So how did it go? I hope it went well because I hate to hear that you are sad or upset! What have you been miserable about? Maybe you should call me... miss ya and would love to see you if you come up. That's the reason why I don't travel--no money!
How's that camera working out for you? You are still borrowing a really nice one from Julian's dad, right?
Well, my website is still utter shite. So that's one month of owning it down the drain... Really need to set a deadline on that. In other news, I was able to rent that studio space I was talking about--moved all my stuff in last weekend and I am getting shelves to organize it today/tomorrow. Doesn't look like I'll be able to buy the camera until January... also, sorry i'm late.
Keep your head up,

janelle

gonna buy a dslr...

Hey chica -Looks like we both took last week off! Well I hope things are going well with you down thurr. Your post cracked me up. That is rad that he has been talking to you!

I've decided on the Canon Rebel XSi. For the money and my skill level I think it's a good camera to start with, and I won't feel like I'll need to upgrade right away either... I'm really excited! Canon is having an instant rebate dealie on a bunch of their products until next month, so I feel like I'm gettin' a deal.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/589090-REG/Canon__EOS_Rebel_XSi_a_k_a_.html#specifications
I want to get this two lens kit because it comes with the stock lens PLUS a lens that retails by itself for like $275. So that's hella savings.
I'm sad to report that absolutely NO progress has been made on my damn website. A friend suggested I get an "intern" to do it for free/cheap from campus or something. Just might have to write out a craigslist ad......MUAH!
Love ya!
