The Calm Before the Storm
We concluded our hard-core bar preparation studies yesterday. Most of us are still alive, which is a good thing! So today, in order to try to get a little relaxation in, we traveled to a nearby Redwood Grove and just wandered around enjoying the fresh air and lack of books.
Tomorrow I’m moving my stuff to downtown Oakland, and Tuesday the Bar starts. Perhaps I should call this the coniferous calm before the studious storm.

Just to prove that I was actually there…

Hello, Gabe. I’m Lael Weinberger’s father. We are praying for all the Oak Brook students to do very well on the exams. Will continue praying tomorrow.
I was interested to hear Lael say you had bought a D40 Nikon, after some research. I just bought one a few weeks ago myself! My father, a professional, had used some Nikon, and I was predisposed to stick with the family heritage and get a Nikon. I wanted a camera that was trustworthy, top notch, without a lot of megapixels to take up a lot of space on our pc with our photos. The D40 met those criteria. Then after reading about bad experiences with cut rate compnanies, I decided to go with my local Chicago camera store where I bought my first Nikon SLR in 1983 - and found that my original salesman still worked there! Central Camera is the place, and they will talk with you on the phone and take orders that way or at http://www.centralcamera.com . 800 421-1899. Very reputable and good advice. Very low prices too, without any scams.
Another famous reputable source is http://www.bhphotovideo.com . Very low prices without scams.
Some day I’d like an 18-200 vr lens. Very handy all-in-one lens.
I did get an 18-55 vr lens and a 55-200 vr lens, and the SB-800 flash. I waited a long tie to save up and get into the digital DSLR equipment.
They seem to work very very well.
Feel free to write when you can about how you set yours up or any favorite pics.
I hope you do great in the test results and have favor with the graders, along with your OBCL fellow students. The Lord bless and keep you.
In Messiah,
David
