Film With Or Without Pictures?

Today was one of those days for me. I woke up and felt refreshed and thought I was going to have a good day. Boy was I wrong. I went over to SACI for my photo class. I had four rolls of film to process today. I had high hopes for these rolls because I thought I had gotten some great shots. Two of the rolls were taken while I was in Rome with Dara. So I go down and everything was going pretty good. I was in the dark room opening the canisters and there was no problem. The black out curtain had a tiny little rip in it and I tried my best to cover this up. I got all the rolls open and into the canister pretty quickly and then closed it. I went through the processing process. When I took my film out of the canister I saw pictures and was excited. Then I noticed that most of the film was extremely dark and no images were visible. Libby and Jacapo said it could be from a number of things. Everything they said did not really apply to me except that maybe the top of the canister came loose while I was agitating it and let some light in. So maybe a quarter of my film will be printable. I will go tomorrow and try to salvage what I can. We are supposed to have a critique of our images on Thursday. Jacapo said he would move it back for me because I have had such issues with everything, first my camera and now my film. So I have the weekend to reshoot film, process, and print. Wish me luck. So after this I ran to Italian class and was late due to my film drama. Italian went very well and I think I did well on my quiz. Next was Graphic Design which was kind of boring because I spent most of the class waiting or my teacher to look at my logo. I walked home with Sam after class in the rain, yes it has started raining again. As I walked into my room I realized that I didn't have my camera and that I had left it at the Design Center. So I walked as fast as I could all the way back in the rain and got my camera. I came home and decided to just relax for the rest of the night. I was pretty stressed out and upset about my film. I will start reshooting and printing tomorrow. I predict tomorrow will be a hard day for me. Sunday was the day Michelle died a year ago and tomorrow is the day Dad died. That plus school is draining me emotionally. I have already been having a hard time with this since last week. Hopefully everything will go well for me tomorrow. For right now I am going to just try to enjoy my night. I am watching tv with Sam's brother, talking online, and writing my blog of course! I did manage to upload all of my pictures, for those of you who are interested, from my trip with Dara to Facebook. Check them out!
