Darkroom Roadblock

Today in the darkroom was one of the most stressful days that I've experienced in a long time. Enlarger after enlarger that I attempted to work on were messed up. I finally found an enlarger that projected my negative in a manner which allowed my image to be visible, but I'd never worked on it before so I didn't know the settings for it nor could I find the proper filters that went with that enlarger. Apparently, they were stashed away in a drawer - we have a shelf for that? Why the heck are filters been stashed in a drawer?! Who knows... >_>.
Nonetheless, I also went into the darkroom with only two pieces of paper left. Talk about setting myself up for failure. Luckily, there were a couple of people gracious enough to lend me paper so I could attempt to make prints before the day's critique. The prints I made were very sub-par to what I know I'm capable of and compared to what I've done before, but it was a stressful morning fiddling around with broken enlargers on a time crunch with - what started out being - only two pieces of paper.
Good news resulted from all of my mishaps today. I discovered that I can scan my negatives onto the computer and make prints out of them that way or display them digitally, I don't have to be in the darkroom if I don't want to. And to be honest I looooove the idea of this, because I want to be able to show off my prints digitally and post them online - and if I need to make them into a print, so be it.
