Haha, yeah, I've been pretty MIA. Been busy with the day job, but I'm quitting at the end of March. I haven't even shot any models since last year, so nothing really new to post up. What's been up with you? Oh yeah, Mark said he doesn't know about the shoot yet, so he's thinking about cancelling. I gotta meet up with you one day, I gotta learn some of your photoshop skills man!

School is rough. Hopefully Summer time maybe something can happen. Right now the classes that are consuming my time is the second half of Organic Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and the labs that go with it. Each lab is 4 hours long.
