nights over kortedala


on saturday i bought a camera for one dollar and fifty cents [not including tax].
so today, i bought two rolls of film for three dollars and seventy-seven cents [this is starting to sound like a mastercard commercial].
and my new project is to use up that film and take pictures of people and places and things i love [and will miss] in rexburg;
i'm really excited for this project!
so excited, in fact, that i don't think i will go anywhere without this camera hanging around my neck for the rest of my time here in idaho.
i feel like a tourist.
and i love it.

in other news, i never thought i would feel the way i do right now.
i have never [NEVER EVER] felt sad to leave rexburg.
usually i'm done with this place after two semesters.
but i came back for more.
and i'm getting to be so sad to leave.
experiencing all these lasts lately have really begun to hit me. i mean, i know i'm coming back in january, but that feels so far away [probably because it is].
it's like the end of an era.
when i come back, things will be different.
everything will be different.
but i know that it will still be great.
[are these words really coming out of my mouth fingertips?]
