pumpkin fun

Carved a pumpkin this week to get ready for Halloween!

Evergreen Midterms

My first big due date is tomorrow morning! I've spent the last weekend, and of course some last minute work tonight, preparing a self evaluation of my work so far this quarter, as well as a portfolio. I'm really happy to be done!

beautiful day

Today was a beautiful day in olympia. Sunny for once!

I had morning classes, lunch with my professor - we had a great talk!, and then I went to my friend katie's house, where we cooked a huge dinner for the homeless camp. We made great soup, and took it over - they seemed to really appreciate it. It was a great afternoon cooking, Katie's house has a big yard, adn they have apple trees and a press, so we also made apple cider, it was very fun.

My photography assignment this week was to learn how to check out a camera from media loan, and then use it. My friend Jorie and I walked around downtown and took pictures - and found some interesting things. These two men were sitting in their yard playing video games, while directly next door there was a wedding happening - from which the children had escaped. The rest was found in the alley behind these events.

una neuva semana

Una nueva semana, y yo aun estoy confundo de la semana pasado!

Today, among many other things, I had a two hour lecture in Spanish, about the politics of Latin America. Did I say in SPANISH.
Tomorrow I am going to my second photography class - we actually get cameras this week. The photography classes, as well as multimedia classes are centered around journalism, and connected to our studies with Venezuela.

I will soon be starting my documentary project, which I am focusing on a local self governed tent city, Camp Quixote. I'm planning on posting as I go!

This week we are reading a book about Hugo Chavez, it's rather one sided, but it's very interesting to learn about the politics of another country.
