I thought I'd share, along with some recent photos: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Friday night, I, some of my
fellow volunteers, a partner, and some apprentices had the privilege of sharing
an extra meal with Mammysa, her family, and Rose. Mammysa and Rose lovingly bent,
chopped, and stirred many dishes, just for us. We ate new (to us, anyway) and
exciting Congolese food, shared good conversation, and later there was lots of
laughter and dancing. Their hard work brought us all together to delight in a
need we all share: a need for food, for survival. It was one of those times I
sat back, amazed, at what a meal can do to break down the many barriers that
the world tries to create. Their simple, caring actions brought us all
together, in unity, to share in joy that has depth and complexity that I often
selfishly do not fully appreciate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I would like to quote from
Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">An Altar in
the World</i>, which was first introduced to myself and my fellow volunteers by
the courtesy of Hannah. It reads:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a world full of too much information about almost
everything, bodily practices can provide great relief. To make bread or love,
to dig in the earth, to feed an animal or cook for a stranger—these activities
require no extensive commentary, no lucid theology. All they require is someone
willing to bend, reach, chop, stir. Most of these tasks are so full of pleasure
that there is no need to complicate things by calling them holy. And yet these
are the same activities that change lives, sometimes all at once and sometimes
more slowly, the way dripping water changes stone. In a world where faith is
often construed as a way of thinking, bodily practices remind the willing that
faith is a way of life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have yet to find a quote that
more accurately defines life here at Jubilee than this one. Often, when going
about my daily tasks, I have to remind myself of this insight: that my faith is
more than just words, that my faith is words put into action. I have to remind
myself that, while living this simple lifestyle, my actions are often simple. A
task is set for me, and I complete it. I bend, I chop, I stir, but mostly, I
sweat. (And I most certainly do not think that sweat requires some sort of lucid
theology.) However, the results of such actions are not simple. That’s where
there seems to be a gap in the theology. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is a profound difference
between a simple lifestyle and a simple life. The lifestyle here at Jubilee is
simple, of course. It’s stripped of all of the extras, of the extraneous, of
the unnecessary. Everything seems to have a purpose, and it falls neatly into a
system. Another task, another action. However, that does not mean that life
itself is simple. What I mean by that is this: in choosing to take on one of
the world’s many needs, that means you take on the sufferings of the ones you
try to help. You do the very best you can, always: by bending, chopping, and
stirring. But somehow, life becomes messy. People are messy. Needs are messy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That’s what’s interesting about
the parable of the sower, found in Matthew, chapter 13. Jesus paints a simple
image of four different kinds of faiths: the kind eaten by birds, the kind that falls on rocky ground,
the kind that is choked by thorns, and the kind that falls on good soil and
produces a crop of “a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.” It’s a
seemingly simple image, but then you realize it’s not only talking about the
basics of gardening (which we all know well, especially by now). It’s talking
about the Kingdom of God. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Interestingly, I have often
read this passage with discouragement and confusion, which usually leads me to
think about how much of the Bible seems beyond my understanding. And then I
read it again. And again. And again. Immediately, phrases like, “the evil one
comes and snatches away what is sown in their heart,” and how Jesus explains
that some seeds never take root and therefore wither away, and how others are
choked by the deceitfulness of wealth, and still others are never given the
chance to embrace the soil and its nutrients. The negative outcomes of this
parable outnumber the positive outcomes literally three to one. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I often selfishly wonder why
there are so many negative outcomes for the helpless seeds. They go where the
Gardener puts them, so why, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">why</i> do
they not bear fruit? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite these misgivings, the
more times I read this parable and the more time I spend here at Jubilee, the
more encouraged I become (although I still have many questions). In the little
time I have spent in Jubilee’s garden, I have witnessed more love, compassion,
and companionship than I think I have anywhere else. These plants literally
bring people from across the world together. Among the plants, we share a
common language: earth, work, sweat, and dirt. If we, humble human beings, put
this much care and effort into such a place, wouldn’t the Gardener—the one with
a capital “G”—put “a hundred, sixty, or thirty times” as much effort? Wouldn’t
the Gardener, the Creator of the universe, take what is sown here, when we
gather together to enjoy the fruits of our mutual labor, the complex result of
our simple actions, and multiply it by “a hundred, sixty, or thirty times”?
And, ultimately, if we are creators made in the image of a great Creator—with
a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>capital “C”—are we not also
gardeners made in the image of a great Gardener (again, with a capital “G”)?
The final question that must be asked is this: Can we do some Weeding to
advance the Harvest? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I firmly believe that, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">yes</i>, indeed, the Creator, the loving God
of the universe will. I believe this is so because of the passage we read
earlier from Isaiah, chapter 55 verses 10 through 13:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“As the rain and the snow</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s in the beautiful imagery
that nature provides that this all comes back together. We work hard, our
actions simple. But the results are not simple. The results are, quite
literally, the fruits (and vegetables, I suppose) of labor. The fruits are what
gather us all here today. The hard work, the simple actions: “This will be for
the Lord’s renown, / For an everlasting sign, / that will endure forever.”
Here, the word of the Lord will not be eaten by the birds, it will not fall on
rocky places, nor will it be choked by thorns: it will fall on good soil, and
produce a crop—“a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what [is] sown.” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Arm yourself with a deformed milk jug, some tunes, and a belt. (This is to fasten your milk jug fashionably to your waist.) Wait until the heat of the day so that the berries are especially enticing and your picking standards are low. The berries will taste better because of these factors, anyway. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Begin. Tell yourself that you're only going to pick the perfect ones so that you won't have to sort them later. Tell yourself this knowing full well that your arms will get tired and you'll eventually start picking any berries you can reach (and bending the branches of the ones you can't reach to your submission). Pick only the berries that fall willingly into your hands. Do not tear the berries from their comfy bushes until they are ready. They only require gentle coaxing: no yanking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Curse loudly when you realize you've been standing in an ant pile for a total of ten seconds and they have already conquered your feet. Continue to curse loudly as you proceed to sprint, trying not to drop any of your precious berries, to the water pump that's always too far away. Breathe a sigh of relief as the water finally comes on, and remind yourself that your insistence on wearing Chacos for every adventure is ridiculous. (But you'll keep wearing them loyally, anyway.) March squashily back to your row, a little shame-faced. Feel better when a fellow volunteer or Partner tells you that they did the same thing, just minutes before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reward yourself with berry breaks to remind yourself why you're out here in the middle of the day, slick with sweat, covered in new ant bites (that will remind you horribly of your acne-ridden teenage years), and exhausted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Repeat: it's for the berries. It's for the community. It's for mornings where there's blueberry cobbler for breakfast. It's for sticky fingers and full bellies. It's for the joy of sweet, sweet summertime.</span><br />

(If you still don't know or understand what I'm doing this summer, click <a href="http://ww.jubileepartners.org/content/volunteer-program-overview" target="_blank">here</a>.) I expect that I will be processing the constant influx of information some day, but that day won't come for a while yet. Instead, all I have to offer are photos and the words of Wendell Berry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love the quick profit, the annual raise,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">vacation with pay. Want more</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of everything ready-made. Be afraid</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to know your neighbors and to die.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And you will have a window in your head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not even your future will be a mystery</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">any more. Your mind will be punched in a card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and shut away in a little drawer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When they want you to buy something</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">they will call you. When they want you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to die for profit they will let you know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, friends, every day do something</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">that won't compute. Love the Lord.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love the world. Work for nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take all that you have and be poor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love someone who does not deserve it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Denounce the government and embrace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the flag. Hope to live in that free</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">republic for which it stands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Give your approval to all you cannot </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">understand. Praise ignorance, for what man</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">has not encountered he has not yet destroyed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ask the questions that have no answers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Say that your main crop is the forest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">that you did not plant, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">that you will not live to harvest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Say that the leaves are harvested</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">when they have rotted into the mold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Put your faith in the two inches of humus</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">that will build under the trees</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">every two thousand years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Listen to carrion--put your ear </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">close, and hear the faint chattering</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of the songs that are to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Expect the end of the world. Laugh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">though you have considered all the facts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So long as women do not go cheap</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">for power, please women more than men.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ask yourself: Will this satisfy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a woman satisfied to bear a child?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Will this disturb the sleep</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of a woman near to giving birth?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Go with your love to the fields.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lie down in the shade. Rest your head</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in her lap. Swear allegiance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">to what is nighest your thoughts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As soon as the generals and the politicos</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">can predict the motions of your mind,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">you didn't go. Be like the fox </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">who makes more tracks than necessary,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">some in the wrong direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Practice resurrection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This post is beyond overdue. It's not "oh, I've been 'busy' and haven't had any time" kind of overdue, but the kind of overdue where I've had very limited access to reliable internet for the last three weeks. (If you want to know why, or what I'm doing this summer, you can click <a href="http://www.jubileepartners.org/" target="_blank">here</a>. There will hopefully be more on that later.) Before embarking on this summer's adventures, however, I got the chance to do a little exploring with my mom, which was rejuvenating and wonderful and what a vacation should be. We started in Portland, drove north along the coast, and finished the trip in Seattle. Here are some photos (and a time-lapse--scroll down!). Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time-lapse was more of a challenge to make (relatively) than the others I've made previously due to gimpy tripod issues and struggles with the new version of iMovie, but I thought I would share it anyway. </span></div>

A little over a week ago, I watched dozens of people I care deeply about walk across the stage and accept their hard-earned degrees, and I was reminded how their confidence and grace has shaped and formed my Furman experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Coming to terms with the fact that I <strike>sometimes</strike> often struggle with self-confidence has been a surprisingly difficult process. I know I started to realize this last semester while being abroad, and the thought became fully formed in my mind around New Years' Eve, while I was sitting on my couch eating an omelette deciding if I should even try staying up until midnight or just go to sleep then (at that point it was only 9:30… whoops). I could've made a transformation in to a newer, more confident self into a New Years' resolution, but setting aside the fact that I can't stand New Years' resolutions, I realized that this development of self-confidence is a (slow) process I owe to myself and to everyone I know, and it's a process that needs to evolve because I <i>want</i> to do it--not because it's something I want to check off of a list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I decided that, as a photographer, the first place I should start is with a self portrait project. The idea of a self portrait has always felt strange to me, because I've always wondered, "Why the heck would people want to see a picture of me that I took myself?" despite the fact that I have always enjoyed the self portraits done by other photographers and artists immensely. And then I happened upon this article in <i>The New Yorker</i>, where one photographer, Deanna Lawson, said: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">At least once a year, I make a self-portrait. It’s an occasion for the artist to construct her representation through her own medium, be it a camera or a paintbrush or what have you. It’s an opportunity to declare who you are visually and who you aspire to be. A selfie is a smaller branch of self-portraiture—quick and less considered. A self-portrait considers the interiority of the artist; it’s a moment for self-reflection, to pause and to look at yourself." </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've had a dozen ideas for this project bouncing around in my head all semester, involving wildflowers, books, my violin--anything that has played a part in my life. But I struggled to come up with a way to explore my selfhood through a photo. I wanted to incorporate all of the things that, until this moment, have helped me form my identity. Instead, I opted for none of those things. I decided to make myself sit down in my room and take a few photos without any sort of planning, primping, or anything. These self-portraits are simple, vulnerable. If I have learned anything this year, it is that I need to find confidence in myself, even when I feel or look my worst, and I wanted these photos to help me do that. In these photos, I'm sweaty, I don't have any makeup on, and the allergy medicine I'd been taking for the last few days made me super drowsy, so I look exhausted. These portraits aren't glamorous or unique, they simply <i>are</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They are me. </span><br />

I had never been to Triple Falls before, but I wouldn't have chosen to do it any other way, now that I've experienced it at night. It was a wholly unique adventure: walking across the smooth, rock landscape was like walking on the moon (as Robbie so aptly described it). That night, the moon was nearly full, so we didn't need flashlights or artificial lighting of any kind. The moonlight made the photographing interesting and challenging because while I could keep the exposures as short as two seconds, trying to focus the camera properly with all of the mist (and because the Nikon lenses I have don't have aren't marked with distances) and general darkness was annoying, but the results are definitely interesting. Enjoy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> P.S.-- I swear these were taken at night, even though in some of them it looks like it's sunny and lovely outside.</span><br />

<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01966329943917173045noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528750094669040585.post-31679827430003856382014-04-19T11:54:00.004-07:002014-04-19T11:54:55.040-07:00It's Always an Adventure<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Saturday morning, my dear big Shelby and I awoke well before dawn (as in <i>way</i> too long before dawn), and drove into the South Carolina mountains (translation: giant hills. But they're still wonderful.) Our mission: to watch the sun rise at Pretty Place, a place beloved by Furman students and people in the surrounding Greenville area. My personal mission: to make a time-lapse of the sun rising over the mountains. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Neither of us had ever been before, so laden with coffee, cameras, a tripod, and several sweaters, we started driving north into the oppressive night, full of expectation. Conversation was great, as it always is, (but I still consider this to be an impressive feat at 5:30 in the morning). Everything held the promise of a successful morning, of an escape. At least, until we got into the YMCA camp itself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were driving, chatting, mostly reiterating how wonderful early-morning drives are and promising ourselves to do this more often, when, all of a sudden, a flash. It didn't make any sense. It happened again. <i>And again</i>. It seemed to be coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shelby was the first to be brave enough to acknowledge it with a casual "Hm, I wonder what that was?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My mouth: "Er, I don't know..." My brain: <i>It's aliens. It has to be. Or maybe it's demons. Is someone taking pictures of us? We're going to be the stars of one of those horror movies with a foreboding preface that reads, "Based on true events." We are two girls alone in the middle of the mountains. That is just begging to be made into a horror movie. It's almost </i>too<i> good.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It just <i>kept happening</i>. We're both trying to play it cool, and I'm tearing through everything in the back seat trying to figure out where the heck this light is coming from. I'm whipping my head around, looking for some kind of source, all while planning escape routes from this tiny, winding, dirt mountain road, when I look up and see it's just a tower. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cue a sigh of relief.</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> It's just like antenna at camp. It's totally fine.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So of course, what's the natural reaction after this kind of experience? Let's share ghost stories and freak ourselves out even more! (Rational, I know.) We swap a few, laughing nervously, and I'm trying to covertly wring my hands and somehow will my heart rate to go down and act like the mature adult I'm supposed to be (<i>ha!</i>), when suddenly this man appears. Just walking. I, of course, jump out of my skin and try to stifle some sort of expletive from escaping my mouth. We laugh again and complain that random men shouldn't just walk on dirt roads at 6:14 in the morning. It's simply unacceptable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We keep driving, and we see several more men walking along the way. <i>What in hell are all these men doing?! </i>At least they're <i>solid</i>. Definitely not ghosts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Several long minutes, wrong turns, and uncomfortable chuckles later, we finally arrive at the chapel. Since I'm still a rational adult, I think, <i>It's a chapel. We're safe. No demons. Look, there's even a cross!</i> (I've seen one too many demon movie previews. Not even the movies themselves, just the previews. And that's more than enough, in my humble opinion, thankyouverymuch.) We laugh, gathering our things, and walk into the dark confines of the chapel, when out of nowhere,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Good morning," a man (in flannel that looks like he just walked out of one of the Friday the 13th movies) whispers hoarsely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time I really do mutter an expletive, but try to pass it off as some sort of nervous sneeze. (I don't think it worked.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He continues, as if nothing happened, "We're hosting a service at 7 this morning, and you are more than welcome to join us." We mumble hasty a hasty "thank you" and continue walking down the middle aisle of the church, and I keep my eyes determinedly fixed on the cross. <i>You're fine, you're fine, you're fine</i>... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We admire the scenery, the vast expanse of mountains for a moment, and then I start to set up my tripod for the time-lapse. <i>Once again</i>, the man appears just behind me (no crunching footsteps of warning, no signaling cough, not even a breath), and says "We're going to have to ask you not to take pictures..." And proceeds to explain that it would be distracting during the service, et cetera. I nod, frustrated, still terrified, and hastily pack up my things. We move out of the way, out of the confines of the church that is most certainly no longer inviting, sit uncomfortably on some rocks a few feet away, and scramble quickly out of there as the service begins. "Welcome to all who are here, especially our guests..." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Yeah, I'm very welcome, thanks, </i>I think sarcastically, bitter that I only got one picture, thankful that the sun is finally rising, and ready for a nice, long nap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, we can't say it wasn't an adventure. </span><br />

However, today is an especially horrible Monday because the weather is frightful; it's gloomy, with thick clouds that aren't just floating contentedly above the horizon: they are pressing down upon it, dark and pendulous. In a vain attempt to will spring weather into being, I stupidly packed away almost all of my warm winter clothes, so today I'm donning sandals and a dress, which is very practical, I know. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In an attempt to ward off the gloom and stave off having to work on research papers for the next 30 minutes or so, I'm going to share some photos from spring break, when it was sunny and beautiful (although not really warm).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also, I'm messing around with formatting and design on my blog (another great way to procrastinate as finals season is rapidly approaching), so any suggestions or critiques you might have would be much appreciated! The blog needs a little lovin' and I'm running short on ideas. (But what about the new logo, right? Thoughts?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And a quote (though slightly out of context, but still wonderful) for good measure:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"April is the cruelest month, breeding</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">lilacs out of the dead land, mixing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">memory and desire, stirring</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">dull roots with spring rain."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I normally try to live my life according to two very general rules: </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Don't complain.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Don't make excuses.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, I'm going to break the second rule today, simply because I feel the need to justify myself for my terrible organization and (apparent) inability to write blog posts, let alone get out and take photos. I say this at the risk of sounding like a broken record (and breaking another rule: Don't use clichés when writing.), because it seems that all of my blog posts that I've found the time to write recently simply reiterate how perpetually busy I am. (Which seems to break all three of my aforementioned rules in one go.) But I'm going to allow myself to break my rule about excuses this time simply because it also explains the photos below. I'll start with my birthday (a milestone), the weekend after my birthday where I got to celebrate it with friends, which leads me to midterms, which bled into spring break, and then initiation, and then shooting with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ashleyrauls" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999;">Ash</span></a>, then TEDxFurmanU, and now here we are. (And in that spiel I just broke another rule: Don't write run-on sentences.)</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anywho, here are photos from the joint birthday celebration that I had with the one and only Lexie, but rest easy, friends: more will come on that other insanity (spring break, TEDx, etc., etc.) soon! (And Wednesdays, I think, call for fun photos.)</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And, since it's hump day, I'll leave you folks with a quote because it's vaguely applicable but mostly because Marilynne Robinson is fantastic:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">“I wish I could leave you certain of the images in my mind, because they are so beautiful that I hate to think they will be extinguished when I am. Well, but again, this life has its own mortal loveliness. And memory is not strictly mortal in its nature, either. It is a strange thing, after all, to be able to return to a moment, when it can hardly be said to have any reality at all, even in its passing. A moment is such a slight thing. I mean, that its abiding is a most gracious reprieve.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After weeks of drizzle, cold, and gloom, I am delighted to say that <strike>it seems</strike></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After shooting for about 5 hours at Furman's TEDx event (more photos and comments on that later), shooting covers for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ashleyrauls" style="color: #999999;" target="_blank">Ash Rauls</a> (again, more to come on that later),<span style="color: #999999;"> </span>and general post-spring break insanity, I decided to take a mental break and take some photos <strike>ironically</strike> of the incredible blooms around the Vista House. Though I've wanted to since the beginning of the semester, I haven't had the right opportunity to shoot any photos of my home for this semester, and Friday was simply a lovely time to do it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I say that spring has sprung in the sense that all of the flowers are in bloom (my favorite thing, if I forget about my horrendous allergies), though when I look out from the library window at this very moment, the weather is ominous and sulky, the opposite of Spring in my imagination. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will not let this dampen my spirits, however, because I have several hours of photo editing ahead of me (yay!), which I say without even a smidgen of irony. In the meantime, though, enjoy these photos of the blissful blooms, the lovely Jenny (friend/fellow VH res), and a cat friend I made as I was walking around (seriously--what a great day). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year, Heller Service Corps hosts a dance for adults with disabilities from the Greenville area on or around Valentine's Day. This was the first year I've ever been able to go, and my friend (and life-saver) Madison Smith asked me to make a video of the dance. The entire event was fun and sweet: a perfect break from an exceptionally busy week at Furman. Here are some photos and the final video from the event.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I alluded in my last blog post, I've been incredibly busy. Yes, I'm aware that it's a quintessentially Furman excuse and that everyone these days always seems to be "busy;" I don't say it some sort of mark of pride. I say it honestly with a little dash of shame because that means I keep making excuses not to go out and take photos, to keep postponing these photo projects I've had swirling around in my head for weeks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Part of this busy-ness, though, is because of some good, creative work that's been a delightful change of pace from reading about a thousand pages a week. I've had the pleasure of working with the one and only Ash Rauls, a singer-songwriter from Savannah, who I studied abroad with last semester. We've been working on recording oodles of videos (a creative and slightly daunting stretch for me), and will be shooting some photos later this semester for her new EP cover (which is much more under my umbrella of expertise). Here's the first of the series, which was posted in honor of Valentine's day yesterday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After feeling like I've been running around in circles for the last six weeks since coming back to Furman, I need remind myself [probably for the hundredth time in the last week] what I'm thankful for and what's awesome about being alive, and I thought I'd share.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Snow</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[Because apparently in the South that translates to "We're all going to die; let's run to Publix and buy all the bread ever made ever." And it means that classes get cancelled, which means I have more time to procrastinate, which is always a plus.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Creative Projects</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[Flexing my creative muscles is incredibly liberating and therapeutic, which I've gotten to do a lot of thanks to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ashleyraulssongs" target="_blank">Ash Rauls</a>. I'm trying to get more into video so I can be more "well rounded" (now there's a phrase I haven't heard since high school), and it's a little daunting and a lot fantastic.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Adventure</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[Which usually starts out with a really good idea (like going to take pictures of beautiful waterfalls and tons of snow), but which usually means getting your car stuck in the snow and having 8 alpha males trying to help you out when they actually don't know what they're talking about.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Books</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[I've gotten to read some pretty fantastic things thus far this semester, thank goodness. I love them dearly, even though they're slowly taking over my room so that pretty soon I'll have nowhere to walk, sleep, or do anything (I really wish that was a joke).]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Community</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is probably most important thing on this list because living with nine rad people is pretty fantastic (and enlightening).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheers to more weeks of insane busy-ness, thousands of pages of reading [I <i>really</i> wish that was an exaggeration], and many humbling moments to remind myself that I can't do everything.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the last 24 hours, I'd be willing to bet that about a million "best of 2013" posts have cropped up all over the worldwide interwebs. Personally, a "favorites of 2013" seems more appropriate for my taste/blogging, simply because I know that <i>I</i> really like these photos I'm going to share with you, but they are not, by any means, the <i>best</i>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2013 was a great year photo-wise, adventure-wise, and pretty much everything-wise. Here's to an even better 2014!</span></div>

Not necessarily that they came out in 2013, but simply that I read them in 2013. This is one of the first not totally photography-related posts I've had in a while, and I figure it's about time to give it a shot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(In no particular order:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <i>Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls</i> by David Sedaris</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the past few weeks, I've been on a serious Sedaris kick. Aside from the one titled above, I've read: <i>Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, </i>and <i>When You Are Engulfed in Flames. </i>There's no question that Sedaris' work is funny. What I love particularly about this one is the way he can recount a trip to Costco with such simple hilarity that I'm left sniggering creepily by myself, only making it worse because I'm trying to suppress it and <i>not</i> be creepy (like that ever works). Sedaris' stories sing, and the way he can weave seemingly-unrelated thoughts together so wonderfully astounds me. It's a fast read (I read it in a couple of hours one day), and it is most certainly worth your time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. <i>On Photography</i> by Susan Sontag</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After reading <i>On Photography, </i>it's undeniable that Sontag is a critical genius. If you have ever wondered anything about photography and its implications (not its technical side--<i>*yawn*</i>), Sontag's work is where to turn. It's thought-provoking, simple, and written beautifully. Her questions and answers spoke to me on a level I had not anticipated, and answered those questions more profoundly than I could have expected. <i>The Times</i> is quoted on the back, most thoroughly summarizing, "Susan Sontag offers enough food for thought to satisfy the most intellectual appetites," and it's wonderfully true. The book questions how we perceive ourselves, others, and the photos that have shaped modern history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">An excerpt: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"The possession of a camera can inspire something akin to lust. And like all credible forms of lust, it cannot be satisfied: first, because the possibilities of photography are infinite; and, second, because the project is finally self-devouring."</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. <i>Americanah</i> by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After listening to one of Aidiche's TED Talks in class (which you can find <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html" target="_blank">here</a>), I knew I had to get my hands on one of her books, and this one practically leapt into my hands in a random bookstore in <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&q=derry,+ireland&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x485fdde434d09363:0xbd21fa2ac755f32f,Londonderry,+Derry,+UK&gl=us&ei=s7_BUovWDqf52wWS4oGYAg&ved=0CLIBELYDMBE" target="_blank">Derry</a>. Finely crafted and enthralling, Aidichie's work does not disappoint. It's a simple tale with complex implications; it's a single story that should affect everyone, whether an uncomfortable immigrant to America or a comfortable (or perhaps not-so-comfortable) American. The questions she raises about race seem so obvious, so clear, it immediately becomes frustrating that there seems to be so little dialogue about them in the States. Read it for a modern take on some not-so-modern issues that our nation should have moved beyond long ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <i>The Cuckoo's Calling</i> by J.K. Rowling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not just saying this because I'm an intense <a href="http://laurakrueger.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-very-potter-weekend.html" target="_blank">Harry Potter super fan</a>. (Okay, maybe a little.) This book was a surprise. Not just for the media, but any reader of J.K.'s fiction. After growing up with the boy with the lightning bolt scar, this new novel is a breath of fresh air, especially in the world of detective/crime novels. Rowling writes with confidence, and her simple--yet surprisingly descriptive--prose should raise expectations for crime novels. It's not the best crime novel I've ever read (because <a href="http://www.amazon.com/And-Then-There-Were-None/dp/0062073486/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1388429759&sr=8-3&keywords=agatha+christie" target="_blank">this one</a> will always take the cake), but it's good, entertaining, and worth a read. Way to go, J.K. I'm so proud. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <i>The Moth</i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(If you don't know anything about this wonderful podcast, click <a href="http://themoth.org/about" target="_blank">here</a>.)</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got it for Christmas and am only about one hundred pages in, but it's just as wonderful as the podcasts. I was initially worried that the stories would lose some of their beauty or their magic on the page, but I could not have been more wrong. The stories still possess their heart, their humor, and their ability to break your heart in a few words. It's wildly entertaining and just darn beautiful. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whatever you believe, whatever you celebrate, I hope that this holiday season was filled with laughter, warmth (whether it came from a fireplace or classic, oppressive, Southern heat), inordinate amounts of delicious food, cake for breakfast (I partook. It was delicious), and oodles of rest (I actually just woke up from my second nap in two days. Productive? I think yes.). There hasn't been much photo-taking as I would've hoped these last few weeks, but then again, there rarely is enough to satisfy. I have a few projects brewing in my buzzing brain, and hopefully I'll get my act together enough to follow through with them and post them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To put it simply, being back in the States is <i>weird</i>. People are louder, no one walks anywhere (nowhere I've been trying to walk, anyway), I have the freedom to actually <i>drive</i> places, breakfast doesn't need to cost more than $4, and I have access to internet whenever needed. What a wonderful world, eh? (I can hear a crowd screaming, "'Merica!'" in my head as I write this.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being back has made me re-evaluate the semester, and I now know that it's impossible to fully convey the breadth of my experience abroad in words (especially in a short blog post), so I've decided to simplify it and condense it into numbers and a video (embedded below) instead because that seems to be the most my befuddled brain can process at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Days abroad: 99</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cities visited: 25</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plays seen: 33</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Papers written: 43</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pages written: 108</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Words in said papers: 25, 073</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photos taken: 5,023</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time-lapses made: 7</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That being said, I'm going to miss what Dr. Pate calls "The Holy City" (hence the blog post and time-lapse title). It's no Jerusalem, but it is divine. I know I will miss the bustling, the theater, the museums, and (of course) the delicious coffee, but, for the moment, I'm going to enjoy good, ole Texas: the land of breakfast tacos, the Alamo, and Whataburger. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a time-lapse I made of some of my favorite spots around London, which includes: </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">Russell Square, a walkway along the South Bank, outside of the National Gallery, a view of St. Paul's Cathedral, and two views from Waterloo Bridge, which is quite possibly my favorite spot in London.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;"> Videos aren't really my thing, but I'm trying to give this whole time-lapse fad a spin. Enjoy!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of our study abroad program, we had the opportunity to travel to the Continent for 10 days. Some people ventured as far as Croatia (shoutout to Madison), while I decided to go to Paris and then to Chamonix, a small town in the French Alps at the base of Mont Blanc. I met Will and Sean in Paris and a train, a bus, and a couple of hours later, we were in Chamonix. Once there, we spent six days reading, drinking coffee, hiking, and simply taking in the hugeness (is that a word?) of Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains. On one of our hikes, we met the lovable Jacques (featured below), a dog who had a hankering for nosediving in the fresh powder. It was essentially a perfectly lazy and stunning six days, and what more do you need than that? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ah, Paris. The city of light, of love, of a million other adjectives that I could list, but everyone else has already said them before about one hundred times before. That doesn't mean they're passé in any way, though. They still apply, opening windows of insight for some and allowing for greater depth and exploration for others. That's the best thing about a big city, I think: it's unique with every visit, to every person, and it's constantly evolving. It's simply not possible to uncover a city's every secret, and that's what's beautiful/wonderful/intimidating/overwhelming about it in the best way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This trip to Paris was filled with a surprise visit from the seester (yes, you need the two Es to convey the excitement), lots of good food, a lot of walking, and a lot of shopping. We saw pretty much all of the major sights, went up the Eiffel Tower, and well below the city into its belly: the catacombs. A little morbid, yes, but seriously awesome (especially if you've seen Disney's <i>The Hunchback of Notre Dame</i>). We went to Shakespeare & Co. (where awesome people like Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald famously spent a good amount of time) and the Abbey Bookshop, a favorite of mine since I visited in high school. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In short, an excellent few days. I should apologize for the morbid and (slightly) creepy photos from the catacombs, but really, it was just too awesome. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WARNING: This will possibly (er, hopefully?) be the cheesiest and nerdiest post I will ever write. Well, I at least hope it will be the cheesiest; it might not be the nerdiest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, my friend Brittany and I ventured to the Warner Brothers Studios in Leavesden to tour the Harry Potter studio. I'm going to be honest (as one should always be): it was incredible. I'll try to let the photos speak for themselves, but the amount of detail that went into all of these movies astonishes me. These are just a few examples of the thousands of props and sets we saw. Enjoy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the 12 days I've been in London, I've:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Seen 6 plays</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Walked approximately 75 miles</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Drunk more coffee than I ever have in my life</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Visited 5 bookstores</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Gone to 7 art galleries</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Visited 5 historical sites</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm ashamed to admit, however, that since arriving in London, I have taken few photos and hardly ever carry around my camera with me anymore. Between walking a minimum of 5 miles every day (I'm afraid I'm going to wear through my favorite pair of Converse any day now), seeing plays, going to class, and simply being in London, I hardly have the time or energy to carry it around. It's a sad truth, and hopefully it'll change soon. I did try to do a time lapse of the sun setting behind Parliament and Big Ben, though! It's one of the many that I'm hoping to make, so this is just a brief sample of what's hopefully to come. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hard to believe that we've been traveling for nearly <i>six weeks</i> now. I find it even harder to believe that I've been successfully living out of a suitcase for that long with only a few (minor) frustrations. I'd like to say that I've established a rhythm, that I'm starting to fit in the UK, but that would be a lie. With the constant moving, every single day is different. It's all wonderfully exhausting. Luckily, that will all change soon because we depart for LONDON<i> tomorrow</i>. I can hardly contain my excitement.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, for the last two (has it really already been two?!) weeks, we've visited Oxford, gone to six Shakespeare productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, talked with actors, had class, stalked actors in pubs (if you're ever in Stratford, the place to see them is the Dirty Duck), and have not gotten nearly enough sleep. But that's the way it should be, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anywho, here are a few photos from Oxford, the Christ Church campus, cathedrals, Shakespeare's grave, and basically everything I haven't had the time to post about for the last few weeks. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aside from flora and fauna, cathedrals (and architecture in general) are one of my favorite things to photograph. When we were in York a few days ago, we spent a few hours being guided around the massive structure known as York Minster. Aside from being an architectural masterpiece (it's stunning), it possesses this hushed quality that persistently reminds any visitor that it is still a cathedral, a place of worship. Here are a few photos from the experience. Enjoy!</span></div>
