September, October, November, December. The months went by as slow as they possibly could. I didn't have to save for the camera because of the fat refund check I would be receiving from the school in the middle of January. Time seemed to go by slower and slower as each month passed, especially once it got to the few last days until January 21st. January went by SLOW AS HECK. But then January 21st came. The day I got my refund.
The day I got my refund was the day I FINALLY was able to order my camera from B&H. Of COURSE I was going to choose the "Next Day Air" option. It was worth the extra 35 bucks. From that point, those the next three days seemed like three YEARS. (I ordered it on a Friday, they're closed Saturday, so the soonest they could ship it out was Monday, which meant I'd get it Tuesday.)
Saturday, Sunday, Monday...ugh.
Tuesday. UGH.
I have a 2 hour and 45 minute 8pm class. The feeling of how long the class was doubled. Class let out, and I JETTED to the post office to go pick up my lovely. But then something happened. As SOON as I put my key into my P.O. Box, THE FIRE ALARM GOES OFF.

We got out of class 15 minutes early (10:30) and I had 30 minutes to get to my next class, Graphic Design. I waited 20 EXTRA MINUTES to get my camera because they had to evacuate the building, close everything down, and wait for the fire department to come. I staked out.
FINALLY everyone was allowed to go back in the building, and I did the obvious. I bum-rushed, bowed, kicked, and stomped my way through the crowd to get my $1500 box of goods.
*insert HUGE smile here*
It took me a while to open the box, because I was scared. But I finally did it, and oh, it was a magnificent moment in the history of Tristan Ervin Photography.
