more than a paragraph long, I bet  
I have 4 chapters of Physics, 4 chapters of Psychology, an abstract to perfect and lecture slides to memorize. And yet here I am.

I want to announce to the world that Greg and I FINALLY bought our tickets to England (and I bought my return ticket from France; at some point I have to get all up on easyjet.com and get my in-between flight from Gatwick to Lyon). I would just like to say that Orbitz and CheapTickets.com were cheaper than both StudentUniverse.com and StaTravel.com (although the latter most was almost comparable, I will be fair). But if I hadn't checked I would have paid $140 more. The true Quest for Money begins now that I need spending cash. If you know anyone who would like art commissions done, or in fact have so much expendable income that they wish to give it to a wandering college student in Europe, please send them my way. As for MCATs, I'll take 'em in June or July. Studying in advance is only helping me.

In other absolutely random news, check out Paper Links. I meant to plug it before this point but I'm sure they won't miss the .2453 number of hits this link will get them.

Does anyone on my flist have a DSLR? I have been itching to buy a Canon Digital Rebel since this past summer. My flatmate has an XTi and she gets some damned gorgeous shots out of the thing. Canon is rumored to be releasing the 500D and will have a press release of some sort in a couple of days; this is exciting because by the time I have enough money to buy a DSLR the new 500D will presumably drop down the prices of the XTi and the XSi. Or I'll just throw caution to the wind and buy a 500D (it is going to have video capabilities! I wouldn't need my point and shoot any more!). But if anyone out there in livejournal land has anything good/bad to say about Canon, or in fact wants to tell me all about how I'm wrong and should be purchasing a Nikon instead, speak now!

And in another plug for the sake of plugging, I've been incredibly consistent in updating my sketch blog!

Yippee! Oh, & btw I saw your Biden-licious post on ontd_p and I loved all of the bolded bits...especially the ones about puppy training and the tubes! ;]

I will never get tired of Biden + puppy. And, as soon as the Obama gets his, I EXPECT OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTOS OF THE TWO FROLICKING TOGETHER ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN OMG.

...The puppies, that is. Though, frighteningly, I wouldn't mind - okay, shutting my twisted, tinhat self up nao.

I have a Canon 20D, and I love it.
I know a few people with the digital rebel though and rate it very highly.

I've used the Nikon D70s before, but Canon cameras just feel more 'right' to me.
Also, Canon's lenses are aaaweeesome.

absolutely incredibly jealous with the traveling. I'm sure you will find the monetary means somehow. good luck :)
