Meet the classmates...

Two weeks left in the semester...it's definitely crunch time. I've got roughly half a billion photos for the blog, but most of them will have to wait until the end of the semester. The choir project is nearing completion and, since it's due next Monday, it will be posted on here around then. So stay tuned.

Tonight, some of my fellow grad school chums got together at Shakespeare's Pizza to celebrate Kelly's birthday (in the first picture) and simultaneously escape and complain about our current sources of stress. It was a good time. And the light wasn't bad, either.

Happy Birthday, Kelly!


I finally found friends who like black olive pizza as much as I do.


Clare enjoys not working on her Media Law paper.


This is C.J. She gave me all her unwanted black olives.


This is Courtney. She ate her olives, but we're still friends.

Val and I have the same class schedule. "I plan on daily mental breakdowns," Val said about the end of the semester.


Julie, like everyone else at the table, said my photographing made her feel awkward.


So I tried to make nice by blocking the glare from her eyes, but my arm got tired and I wanted to eat pizza. But I tried.
