the goldfish.
It's Finals Week...which means summer is coming soon! And summer = going back to camp. Here's a carving I did last 4th of July, while at camp. I think you can see where the idea came from :)

the telephone.
So I admit it...I finally caved and got myself an Apple Phone...

Just kidding! I still have my snazzy pay-as-you-go cell phone, a "dinosaur of a phone," as one friend lovingly calls it. I'm quite content with it, to be honest. I can call people, even text and take pictures. Simple, effective. While the iPhones are definitely cool (and it would be great to be able to check email on the go), I kind of like being out of touch sometimes.
And anyway, my own Apple Phone doesn't have the greatest reception...

the leaf.
Here are a few of the pictures I took along the way, some of the inspiration for this particular carving:

mr. monocle & mustache
Mr. Monocle & Mustache came into being last Sunday, when I was on a trip to Darien Lake with a group of Nazareth students. The trip was part of the "Welcome Back Weekend," since it was the upperclassmen's first full weekend on campus. I only paid $5 dollars for a ticket, and we spent most of the day there. It wasn't very crowded, either, since it was so close to the start of a new school year. So, I chilled with my R.A. and three other housemates and we had a pretty good time on the roller coasters and various other rides.

the bicycle.
I made this bicycle on the train on Wednesday afternoon, after spending the day at Walibi Belgium with some friends from school. We were completely soaked, since it rained almost the entire day, and when we got to Ottignies, our train got canceled. We ended up having to take an international train about a half hour later, but the train was completely packed. We had to stay standing until Namur since there were no seats. I was leaning on someone's bicycle in between train cars. I had to use it for support since there were no bars near to where I was standing.

the airplane.
This airplane was done while I was sitting in the Salle des Rhétos during an étude, when I probably should have actually been studying. Instead I was talking to Danielle, another exchange student and my very good friend, who will be leaving Belgium tomorrow. I have been thinking too much about my own departure from this beloved place that has become my home.
Il y a du temps...quelques mois, même, j'ai adoré regarder les avions dans le ciel. c'est quelque chose qui a commencé quand j'étais très jeune et je voulais devenir pilote. maintenant, je ne peux plus les regarder sans avoir larmes dans les yeux...
