So. Relieved.
I signed up for Photo a week ago, after checking major requirements in the gen catalog against what the adviser told me (the latter was wrongwrongwrong) and have been hyperventilating about costs and materials ever since I found I would be using about $60's worth of photopaper, $100 in rolls of film and would need a 35mm manual slr camera (whatever that means) and a digital one as well. Know how much the manual costs? $220. Know where the digital one I have is at? At home, a full 2.5 hour's drive or 3 hour train ride, one way away from where I currently am.
Called my sister. Thankfully, her birthday is coming soon and sushi's cheap in my college town. She loves sushi, so I can get that camera!
My friend Nong from Art 2 was taking Photo at the same time and she said I could borrow her camera. Then, when I called her today, she regretfully informed me that she had borrowed the camera from someone else and that this someone had already promised the camera to another person. Since class starts on Monday, she understood my anxiety and offered to call another photo friend of hers who might let me rent the camera. Relieved, I took her offer and we chatted a bit, when I told her that I actually had another friend (from my DES 16) class who might have a camera I could use, though I had doubts as he took the class a whole year ago. Randomly, Nong asked me what his name was. Surprised, I told her and was shocked. She'd borrowed the camera from him!
It worked out great in my favor, so now I only need to worry about the other materials I need for this surprisingly expensive course.
... Now that I think about it, it's pretty sad that this has been the most dramatic point in life recently. T_T
