4 EVA

I haven't posted in 4 EVA (name the movie...) so I thought I'd drop in and say hi. My friends have been great bloggers lately, and I've been a bit of a slacker. It's time to watch some crappy TV, so I'll quickly bullet point the top three things on my mind right now...

  • My student's mom was diagnosed last weekend with liver cancer. It's not good... and I've been trying to grapple with the idea of how to deal with my student when his mom does pass away. Sadly, he's exiting my program this year, so I probably won't be around to help him. I'm worried about him and his family right now.
  • Recently I've been thinking about how I want to get into photography (thanks to Melissa!). I'm debating on if I should should off until after the wedding, mostly because right now is not a great time for me to buy a nice camera.
  • Geoff and I are about 98% sure we want to go to FIJI for our honeymoon! If only there was more time in the day to research and begin booking our flights and accommodations!

I think you should do it, I am having so much fun learning about my camera. I won't lie, it is hard, but I think it will be worth it. If you do decide to buy, I recommend the place I got my camera. I got a GREAT DEAL!! As for the first bullet, that is a tough one and I hope you can find ways to help while you are in their life.

Fiji is the BEST! Went there before I studied abroad in Australia. You have to go there!!
Sorry about your student, how sad:(

FEAR! You know, the movie. That Mark Wahlberg is so talented. OK now I'm going to read the rest of your post.

First, that is so sad about your student; can he get counseling somewhere? Second, if you get a camera I would have a plan to learn how to use it. We've had ours for like 8 months and I still just put it on the auto mode because I get confused if I try to do anything fancy. Aaron tries to teach me but without really investing the time I never remember. Third, Fiji sounds amazing. Book me a ticket too; it will be just the 3 of us.
