Hi, people!

I have a Christmas tree! It is my first proper tree, and it is gorgeous. As well, smells fantastic. Fantastically like pine, in fact. It covers the random odour of mothballs that has cropped up in my apartment lately, for no discernible reason. This is all very exciting. Decorations are somewhat sparse, but it is my tree!

I also have a camera! It is my first proper camera, as well. It does not smell like pine, but it takes shiny photos. A meme went around a while back, where people offered to take photos of things for people upon request -- the view of the grocery store parking lot from their balcony, or the like.

Request a photo, and you shall receive!

In other news: still hanging in there. This has been an absolutely excruciating term (and year) for a whiny variety of reasons I've really tried not to burden people with. Finals are 20% over, though. I'm attempting to be a 'glass 20% full' rather than a 'glass 80% empty' sort of gal.

I have been semi-clipping for a vid about Heroes' tendency to create powerful women with no agency. I was somewhat annoyed before I started this. When you condense it all down? It's pretty bad.


In conclusion: Seriously, people, give me something to take pictures of. I am just looking for opportunities to take photographs of things.
