Random Life

First of all, I had my interview with my sorority. For those who didn't know, which is pretty much everyone, I'm trying to take over. By take over, I mean I'm trying to get elected president. I don't think it will work, since the other girls that are running are better-known and more involved, but I figure it's worth a shot, since it's something I think I could be great at. If I don't get that position, I'm looking to be the DSE (Director of Standards and Ethics) or the EVP (Executive Vice President). It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

Second, today a couple of girls came to visit my host parents. They were the girls that had lived here two years ago, in my room and Alex's room. They came upstairs like "Can we come in? Great!" and Alex and I were like "ACK!!" because our rooms were all messed up...fortunately they didn't care. It ended up being really weird, because they were eerily similar to us. There was Ellen, name starts with an E, a little bit impulsive and kind of edgy, lived in my room. Then there was AJ, name starts with an A, very straight-laced and a fan of things that are normal. It was really crazy.

Next! Recently, in a valiant effort to procrastinate, I've been messing around with the photomerge feature in Adobe Photoshop. Thanks to the combination of that and the stitch aid on my digital camera, I can make really sweet panoramas. You can see one up top that I put behind my header, and below are some other ones I've made (click on an image to see it full-size...they're HUGE.)

I'll get back to Scotland eventually, but I wanted to throw some of these pictures up for everyone to see. I hope you like them.
