APAD 24: Didn't I have shorts on yesterday?

Traffic lights are reflected in the wet pavement of East Denver, Colo. Wednesday, April 16, 2008. A spring storm brought cold temperatures and snow to the metro area."

After spending the last two days in shorts and a polo and wasn't please when I awoke this morning to snow and 30 degree temperatures. Not to mention that I was out the door by 7am for a team photo of the Men's Lacrosse team. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot I received a call from Ceyla, the sports information director, explaining that the coach had just called her and cancelled because half of his team is sick with the flu. A part of me, very small part, was sympathetic with their situation considering the toll with the Norovirus has reached 63 students. However he knew yesterday that his team would be well enough for a team photo and it was really irritating that he didn't have the common courtesy to call us to cancel yesterday. I didn't have class until 4pm so I'm sure you can realize that I would have remained in my bed for a few more hours.

Getting up early did have it's advantages. I dropped my car off at the shop and got my allergy shot taken care of. The pollen in the air has made me miserable the last few days so hopefully this will help. I slept for a few hours when I got home and then made another 35 minute journey back to DU for class.

One of the students formerly on my staff at the paper started up a photography club, yes I'm a dork but I really don't care, and I decided to stop by and pass along some knowledge. A lot of great photographers have helped me get to where I am and it's seems right for me to do the same with the less experienced. There were actually a lot more people at the meeting than I thought would be there. I actually feel bad for the two girls Mike and I were taking to because I can tend to go a little overboard on the subject.

I did get a chance to talk with my Independent Study professor Sean about my progress or lack there of on my projects. He reeled me in and I actually feel like I have a direction to go in now. 

I really want to play some golf so if you see mother nature tell her to bring back some of that sun shine we were spoiled with this week.
