Study Time

I woke up this morning in Auburn, Indiana. It’s a small town in the NE corner of Indiana and is famous for it’s large car auctions. Unfortunately that’s all it’s famous for, so my three days spent here probably won’t be too exciting. I’m sitting in my hotel room, about to take on the task of memorizing pricing and packages for my new job. It will be nice when it’s all second nature.

I’ve never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed, and that was proven 2 days ago when I was lifting weights. I wasn’t smart enough to realize that you shouldn’t lift weights when your lower back is already pretty stiff. But, I did and while doing a light set of curls, I dropped to the floor after experiencing my first full fledged back spasm (or whatever you want to call messing up your back). Talk about an annoying injury. For the past 2 days i’ve been walking around like a 90 year old man, trying to stand up straight. When my shirt is off, you can actually see how my body is out of whack. Everything is leaning over to my left hip, and my stomach is slightly twisted. It’s just the weirdest thing ever. Hopefully it improves quickly, so i can get back to normal. I should probably start stretching a little more often. I guess i’m officially getting old.

So i was able to try out my new Nikon D60 camera for the first time in Chicago. I love it! I had a perfect day for taking pictures, and the camera really did the rest. With all of my weekly traveling i’ll be doing with the new job, i’m glad to have a new hobbie that can be done anywhere i’m at. One thing i’ve noticed since i’ve gotten into photography is that i now look at everything in a different light than i did before. I look at each building, field, house or whatever else to see if i can see something interesting or beautiful to photograph. I think it really makes the world a more interesting place when you have that approach. Of course at the same time, it sucks seeing something awesome when your not in a position to take a picture of it. That is such a downer!
