PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!

Taking Pictures Is my favorite thing to do! I'm not really sure my level of understanding, I understand how to do somethings but I know for sure that there are many things about photography that I do not know, so I have a lot to learn. Well my experience with photography is higher than some others but a lot lower than some, I have taken family pictures, senior pictures, newborn, and children's photos. I am expecting to learn alot more than I know from this unit, to hopefully get better at taking pictures!

Exams!!!

Well 2011-2012 exams are over with :) FINALLY!!!  I am not really sure how I did on any of my exams except for Algebra 2 which I got an 87 % on!  I personally don't mind exams but I do not think that they should be mandatory. Yes exams could help prepare you for future school life (college) but then again its not teaching students that they have to be responsible. If students want to get prepared for college and take exams to know what its going to be like later on, then let them, but students that want to be slackers, well they will have to grow up sometime! I personally don't mind exams myself, as long as you pay attention, and do your homework you will do fine. Exams were pretty comprehensive this year except for English (but I don't mind if she left out a few things!). Some classes I did not have to study for at all like Algebra 2, Parenting, and PE. Other classes like English, Physics, Exploring Tech, and Government were a different story. I spent at least 2 1/2 to 3 hrs studding for each.

Mickenzee

So while sitting in Exploring Tech one of my good friends Mickenzee thought it would be funny to push me out of the way and try to type on my computer for our every Monday blog in class, so while she was holding my arms down with one hand and typing with the other I knew i had to get her away from my computer so I softly bit her (not even leaving teeth marks or anything) and she is about going crazy because she dnnt like my drool.... Well she learned her lesson didn't she?

Photoshop

For christmas I recieved a background editing disk from my grandma to finish Brittanys senior pictures but to download it you need Photoshop. So Sunday I recieved a call from my Grandma saying that she bought me photoshop, and that it should be comming in the mail soon!

Christmas Break

Christmas break was good for the most part. For Christmas I got a new laptop, safari stuff for my room, photography props, and photo editing software I have yet to download. I spent Christmas with mainly my dads side of the family but my Aunt Dawn on my moms side and her children. I switched rooms with my brother, so I could have a bigger room. So now what was my hot pink and black room is gray and black, and his lime green room is tan, and brown and safari themed. For New years eve we had friends over and played just dance 3 and board games, and of course watched the ball drop, but  Christmas isn't over for me because the 11th of this month we are having family from Florida come up for a week!
