Tomorrow is my last day of classes for this semester. I had my last zoology lecture today, and tomorrow will be my last psychology lab and lecture. I also have my sociological enterprise final exam tomorrow and my sociological theory paper due on Friday, then I have a break until next Wednesday, when I have my second-to-last final exam.

So, seeing as I’m so busy, I’m going to leave you with this terrible picture and get back to my work.

The Daily Shoot Assignment of the Day

#DS576: Make a photograph from a high point of view. Get on top of a building, use a ladder, or just look down at a small object. (Assigned June 14, 2011.)

Looking down at my carpet.

During my sociological enterprise lecture today, I think I sat next to a girl who might have set the world record for spending the most time writing a single Facebook message.

She started writing it at 12:59 PM, one minute before lecture started. She continued on until 1:22 PM when she finally hit Enter and posted the novel-like comment.

It was very distracting.

#DS573: Make a photograph emphasizing a square or a grid today. (Assigned June 11, 2011.)

It always amazes me to see how well my camera can pick up on the dust particles covering all of my be­longings.

#DS572: Parallel lines draw the eye. Make a photograph with parallel lines today. (Assigned June 10, 2011.)

These are some random bars that have been attached to the wall space above my desk since I moved in to my apartment unit. I’m not really sure what they do, but they’re parallel, and I don’t feel like finding something else that’s parallel, so this will have to do.

I registered for classes yesterday for this coming semester.

I got paid to play a video game earlier today.

I like writing short sentences.

I need to go finish writing my papers.

#DS571: Make a photograph of something smooth. (Assigned June 9, 2011.)

Although it appears quite grainy, my desk is actually quite smooth.

Today happened to be a day that I, for once, did not have morning classes.

But that doesn’t matter. There was a fire alarm at my apartment this morning, so I left to main campus ear­ly anyway.

Sometimes I wonder what I possibly could have done to cause good luck to eschew me like the plague.

I didn’t want to stand outside in the freezing cold to wait for the fire department to come into our apartment and tell us that there wasn’t really a fire and it was just some idiot who doesn’t know how to use his oven, so I quickly packed everything up and headed to the library. I didn’t get a chance to shower, so if you happened to see me in person today, now you know why my hair was particularly clumpy and misshapen.

During my sociological enterprise lecture, we had a guest lecturer come to talk about sexuality on Face­book. I think the most interesting part about this presentation was that the guest lecturer’s hair was pink.

From what I got out of the presentation, this sociologist basically did research by interviewing a lot of homosexual and bisexual people about their experiences with their sexuality and how much of it they reveal on Facebook in what manner. The bulk of the presentation felt like the lecturer was biased in favor of homosexual and bisexual people, and it seemed like the lecturer was just complaining about how homosexual and bisexual people are not treated in a perfect manner by their peers.

She was audacious enough to even say that in the new Facebook timeline interface, “coming out of the closet” should be added as one of the default life events that you can add to your timeline, along with events such as getting married and having your first child.

I didn’t mention this during the presentation because I didn’t want to point out how pathetic of an ar­gu­ment she had, but I’m sure you can clearly see why that’s a horrible suggestion. According to Wiki­pedia, about 3.8% of Americans are LGTBQRSTUV. Why would anyone cre­ate an item that would only be used by 3.8% of the pop­ulation?

(Update: Thanks to a reader named Alexa for pointing out that the percentage of LGBT is 3.8% and not 3.5%; I forgot to add in the 0.3% of transgenders. It has been fixed above.)

On my way back from class, I witnessed an old woman with a cane crossing the street at a speed of about a kilometer per hour and holding up traffic. You see the theoretical comic scenario all the time, but I actually saw it in real life.

That definitely counts as an accomplishment.

#DS570: Illustrate time in a photograph today. (Assigned June 8, 2011.)

An out-of-focus shot of my iPod.

I ate Chinese food today.

And I somehow got a grain of rice stuck in one of my toenails.

(I didn’t take a picture of it because it was stuck in one of my deformed toenails from when I broke three of my toes during my freshman year of high school in gym class in the weightlifting room, and I’m pretty sure not many people would appreciate looking at a weird-shaped toenail.)

#DS569: Make a photograph of something shiny today. (Assigned June 7, 2011.)

My belt buckle.
