It isn't often that I venture outside of my home to take pictures. I just feel so awkward setting up my camera and tripod, running in front of it while it beeps like a bomb, and then momentarily hamming myself up for the picture in front of other people. Today, however, I had to take my brother to cello lessons and there aren't usually any people at the building on Sundays so I took my camera. Today, unfortunately, they randomly decided to clean it and I was running around like a mad person trying to sneak in a few pictures while they were cleaning the restrooms! I also didn't bring my tripod so I had to put it on benches and stairs and the floor. It was just a very harrowing experience overall!
Also, may I just add that I think downtown Tempe is one of my favorite places on earth. I don't plan on going to Arizona State University (ever), but I must admit it's in one of the prettiest bits of the Phoenix valley.

As an extra side note, one of my summer reading books for english next year is How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. I was dreading it so much (doesn't it sound dull) but it's actually probably one of my favorite books now! I'm a bit of an english nerd (I want to be an author someday) and it just caters to it SO much. Not only does it talk about in depth analysis (which I LOVE to do) but also random things about the english language like the roll propositions can play in a phrase and how the language itself is arbitrary. For example, the word arbitrary is completely arbitrary; it's just a bunch of noices people speaking english have decided means what it does. Anyway, point being, if you're looking for a good book this summer, I recommend How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
