I finally finished it, and I must say, I'm quite proud of it.

Graduation- FINALLY!
Monday, June 13, 2011 § 0
I say finally in reference to the fact that I finally graduated and to the fact that I'm finally uploading pictures. I've been in Mexico with my best friend for the past week, so I haven't had time to update!! I'm glad to be back, as much as I loved the free drinks (drinking age in Mexico is 18, so I felt like a classy lady with my Pina Colada non-virgin, haha) and the beautiful beach.
Anyway, I now present to you the class of 2011 (or, um, just me):

Post-grad Benihana dinner was FAB.

Until manana,

I'm in love.
I feel the need to give my camera a name. Yes, I'm one of those weirdos. I'll think it over.
In other news, the best friend hosted a poker party at her house (well, we played blackjack) and it was a ton of fun!
I did well- I started out with 25 million fictional dollars, and ended up with 3 million
*insert sarcastic grin*.
(I'm so bad at cards. That's why Shannon has to bargain with me to get me to play with her)
Oh, and I went to my graduation practice. Weird. I'll be forever out of high school in 2 days.
All in all, it was a fun day.
Have a nice night,
Cooper
Camera troubles.
Not exactly troubles, per se, just extreme indecisiveness. I'm one of those people that wants something- for example, the Canon SX130 IS I mentioned here- and after mulling over the purchase for a few precious minutes, must have it immediately. But I must admit, I've done much better this time around. While the immediacy of the Canon did strike me for about a week, I told myself to actually browse other options and realized that I've been in love with the Olympus Pen for a long time and I forgot about it.
When I first saw the E-PL1 in a commercial last year, I thought, 'Great, another amazing looking camera that's out of my price range.' But thanks to graduation and my birthday, I have the chance to buy it. However, there's always the bad reviews and ratings, which the Olympus has very few of, but if there's one website whose reviews I trust completely, it's Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports gave it 'very goods' and 'goods' (and one 'poor', since it has no viewfinder), which threw me off. Where's the 'excellent'??? My dad, however, offered me some other options and today we're going to Best Buy to try 'em all out. Yay!
If you have any tips for a first-time camera buyer, leave a comment below. I'm going to be smart about it this time, I promise- no rushing into things.
Until next time,
Cooper
