Freedom!

It's good to be back friends! The spring term has officially ended and I have a week before summer term begins. I'm taking two online courses which means I can stay nice and pasty in the privacy of my own digs. Despite all of the hair pulling, a lot of good things happened during my blog break. In no particular order:

• Finished my research project in which I constructed Deborah Kampmeier's dramas as feminist horror films

• Kait and I rescued a baby raccoon, our little Booger

• Celebrated my 21st birthday with sushi and padthai and homemade taco dip, yum!

• One of my onion photographs was published in my college's literary arts magazine

• I was invited to contribute to a book in pictures and words

• Won an award at my job for the second semester in a row

• Saw the 1000 Journals film at the Talking Pictures Festival, check out the video and be inspired!

• Witnessed a prairie burn
  
• Watched the magnolia tree and lilac bush bloom
  

Whoo hooo! It's heART time and I can't wait to get dirty with those photostrips.xo Lara
