i can say goodbye better than you

Today I dropped and fatally damaged Ethan's Canon PowerShot A630, a refurbished camera for which he paid about $150. I promised to replace the damaged goods, and it's going to cost me dearly. (What's $200 compounded for 20 years on a student loan at 5.3%?)

This transpired while we were working on a photo shoot project for Mama, who requested that we take some "serious" photos of each other before our respective departures for France for the year. Needless to say, we didn't finish the project, but we got a few decent shots before I ruined everything.






UPDATE: My parents kindly signed over to me the rebate check from my new iPod nano for $199. Now I can afford to buy the camera and have it shipped to Ethan overnight. Just goes to show that even when one has written off one's parents for financial assistance, they sometimes pull through. 'Rents rock.
