I got up 9:30am as I prepared to take pics for Kumi on campus at 10:30am. I went to Conna's home. That boy was still sleeping when I went to his place. His grandpa told me to call Conna's mom to get permission to take Conna out with me. Anyway, I made the call and we went out right away. (His grandpa has old timer! He forgot what his daughter told him about me last night!) Conna wore his dirty boots this morning again as I remembered he did mess up David's new cursion together with his dirty socks at our place last night. I looked at my lexus carpet and I shaked my head right away. I knew I had to clean up again afterward. After picking up Kumi, we went to the front gate of campus, the adminstration building (we saw Yuko and her other two friends from Japan there) , the chemistry department, and the pavilion building to take lots of pics. Conna was very helpful to take Kumi laugh. (He had to do a great job in order to earn his lunch!) However, he could not do any of the rest to help me out on taking pics. (I am not going to ask him next time if he is not improving.) Anyway, I asked Taka earlier to come and help me but he said something on the phone and I could not hear very well so I hung up. (I guessed I know he probabily said "He was busy!") The weather was kind of cold for Kumi but not for me. I was hot the whole time. One thing I found out about taking pics with pretty girls is that they are a lot harder to take than any other people. Why? Since they are pretty, the pics are supposed to be prettier than them. Right? However, it is very easy to mess up. The composition of the frame and and the poses needed more. Well, today Conna did too much to make Kumi and I laugh so bad. (We were discussing about French Kissing with his girl friend. BTW, Conna is 9! ) I hardly paid much attention and concentration on the compositions. (I guess I have to retake some pics again sometimes! ) Also, I gave Kumi gums to chew so it was even harder to catch her facial expressions.
After the shooting, we all went to Hooters for lunch. (Yes! we went to Hooters with a 9 year old boy). I asked the waitress if it is ok to let him in. She said "Why Not!". Conna ordered a fried pickles and snow crab and I paid for him! We had a great time there. We had so much food. Conna was looking at the pics of the waitresses the whole time and kept pointing to the waitresses "take pics! take pics!" We told him not to tell his parents anything about the lunch. (Well, once he went home and he told his mom right away about Hooters! What a Good Boy! ). When we dropped off Conna, the 5 year old Tyler gave Kumi a hug. He was so sweet and I liked him so much.
After I dropped Kumi off, I saw a trouble maker Sothy taking pics on the street. I told him to hop in and I can give him a ride to school. He said to head to down town instead for pics. So we went and took tons of pics of churches. After about an hour later, I dropped him off at school. By then, I started to take some pics on campus. When I went home it was almost 5:30pm. I uploaded all the pics on my comp and I headed out again to take more building pics. I am going to post these pics on a lubbock photo page to see if anyone want to buy my pics. Haha! I also went to the coffee shop that Kumi mentioned and took her some more pics. I felt sorry to keep bugging her the whole time. I bet she had a hard time to study in front of the camera.
However, when I checked the pics for Kumi couple hours ago. They don't really show the Kumi that I know (Cute little girl with a lot of smile). I feel like I was looking at another Kumi in the pics. I am sorry for Kumi but my pics just turned her in. Anyway, I just posted two of her pics for now and for the rest I have to check with her and see. I found about 60 good pics. It is a lots.
It is now 4:30am. Yuko told me to pick me up at my place about 7:30am. I still need to pack my stuff. I will be gone for 3 days. It means I can't write my diaries for 3 whole days. I hope I can remember everything and to write them down here. Well, it also means I am going to have fun in Calsbad cavarns, Roswell (Yes! I am finally able to visit the alien town! ), and Santa fe (old texas towns). I hope I won't fall asleep when I drive tomorrow.
