Shooting Spiders and Other School Life

Still no update released for CellSpin yet, so no easy anywhere posting yet. Sad day.

I'm finally getting off my rumpus and submitting some of my photographs for the 12th edition of Pierce College's SLAM (Student Literary Art Magazine). It's pretty exciting for me, because I haven't really shown my work to the public for several years now, and that's where my better works start coming in. I've toyed around with the idea of selling prints, but haven't found a site yet that doesn't take a huge cut for itself. Perhaps I'll just make my own site and manually handle orders? It'd look good on my resume'...

A sample of one of the works I'll be submitting: "Beach Spider"

(as my skill increases, I find my creativity in naming diminishing.)
I trust my audience is small enough to not need a watermark...

School's been going pretty well. I can particularly say that right now because I've no papers, tests, or homework other than reading all this week, and Friday is off for in-service. I do want to take a moment to brag about a test I took last week in my hardest class this quarter, however (Oceanography). The class average was 69, with nine out of the thirty or so students getting an F, and ten getting an A or B. I got a 91, one of the four A's in class! Comparing myself to two other scores known to me, I either got second or third best out of the class. Not sure why that thrills me so much - what am I, Japanese?

Blogger and Firefox don't really like each other - I get weird reports of half a word being a spelling error... Makes me wonder if Blogger does something special with its text field.
