Right now its 1:37pm and I need to take a short break from my MGT 331 (Concepts in Management assignment) paper that is due tomorrow. I have FIN 320 and MGT 331 back to back from 8:30am -11:15am TR.
Afterwards I am starting my new job. I will be working maintenance on campus for about 12 hours/week along with my two TA shifts 6 hours/week. With 18 hours at minimum wage, this will hopefully help offset some expenses for my senior thesis project. I plan on purchasing some Alien Bee Cyber Sync flash triggers and receivers and afterwards a Canon 580 EX hot shoe flash.

Both of these purchases will be useful even after my senior thesis project of course. Before I left for out west I purchased 2 light stands, 2 umbrellas, and 2 hot shoe flash brackets for under $100 at BH Photo Video.
I was planning on purchasing the Canon 16-35mm L series lens for about $1500+ but I think it would be best to hold off on a lens until next semester. As of now I have a 50mm 1.4, a 28-135mm 3.5, and I can borrow the Canon 15 and 20mm 2.8 from GVSU. With all of those lenses I will still be able to photograph my thesis the way I want to. I am more concerned with the flash equipment.
Tonight I was going to photograph but I put off my MGT 331 assignment so that is taking my time. Once I get a full week of school in with work, I will have a better idea of organizing my schedule for the semester. Tomorrow night I will be photographing towards my senior thesis
