Woo

Hrm....just have to finish up my Remembrance Day page and the other page before I can start on girl's basketball. And all I have to do to finish it is put the little folio thing in the corner. Woo. I got assigned to part of the yearDVD tomorrow. Again: woo.

Camera

Due to the shortage of video clips and such for our yearbook DVD or YearDVD, we are facing certain complications. This is mainly due to the school only owning one video camera. However, I believe I have a solution to this problem. At the beginning of the year, we were told that we may browse ebay to compare prices on good cameras and such. Well, while browsing yesterday, I found something that I really happen to like. A Digital camcorder that is also a digital camera, an mp3 player, a usb storage device and a mpeg4 movie player. I also believe that several of these, if ordered for the school next year could possibly help us a ton with our projects. So, as we speak, I am in the process of bidding on one such camera for my own, to use for Communications Tech, and yearbook, as well as my own personal purposes. If the camera is of good quality, takes good photos and can be ordered for a cheap enough price, then we may just be able to buy a few for the school for next year. I hope. ;)

Hm..

So.....we have Friday off this week, so since I can't post my weekly blog then, I decided to do it today, as I've been feeling ill all week and may not be here tomorrow. Alrightyy...

Looks like we're done our photoshop assignment...that kinda bums me out, 'cause I like using photoshop. I thought it was a pretty interesting assignment, though I don't know about anyone else in the class....Oh well, I enjoy photography as well. I'm not the greatest at it, but I have taken some photos that I am quite proud of, such as the photo of the Sunset Lake that I posted in an earlier blog.

I am very tired today....Not that it really has anything to do with anything...Hm...

Well, speaking of photoshop, there's a program that's available online that is similar and accessable from almost any computer. There are a couple of variations of the program as well, which is kind of cool. It's quite free as well. There's only one problem. you have to use the program directly on the site, and you have to be a member to use it. It's used for drawing, however, and I don't think you can edit photos on it...I like it a lot though. It's very easy to use.

I've included a drawing that I did with that program. The only thing is that it is a little messy as it was drawn with the computer mouse. I don't have a drawing tablet quite yet....but for Christmas my boyfriend mentioned thinking of getting me the Wacom Graphire 4 tablet, a very good version. Hoorah! Haha. Well, I can't think of anything else to post, and my wrist is starting to hurt from my tenser bandage, so I'm off. Ciao!

Photoshop Assignment

Well, I did two, and I think I like this one the best.

Again on a Friday

Well, after a day and a few hours of doing nothing but being stressed and depressed over the death of my grandmother, I don't feel like doing much work..I've looked up some stuff and whatnot but that's about it. I just thought I'd actually do something and started posting here...woo...I feel a lot better than I did yesterday though.

In Loving Memory of Jaqueline Blais

Life is delicate. The slightest thing can overthrow it's balance, or extinguish it completely.
Life is precious. Yet there are those who do not want it. There are those who just let go of everything, as soon as things take a turn for the worse. But why? Why not hold on and think, "Perhaps things will get better?" I do not understand. There are those who give up. The ones who let their pain, their sadness, or their anger, they let it take them. Some simply cannot hold on, but it is not their fault that they were just far to tired and weak to hold on...
And there are those who fight. The ones who will hold onto life with everything they've got. Who simply do not want to let go. Who fight to live because they believe that things can get better. There are those who will never give up until their last, dying breath, because they do not want to lose what is most precious to them. Some call it cowardice, fear of the unknown and the inability to accept their own death. I call it bravery.
They said that she would not live past December. The news hurt us. But surely not as much as the prediction that she would not live past October 20. We were unsure of what to believe. The future was uncertain, but one thing was for sure. She was going to fight for her life, with everything she had, even though she knew her fate was inevitable.
Jaqueline Blais lived 11 days longer than was predicted for her. She died October 31, 2007.
Rest in Peace Memere, and know that we all love you and miss you with all our hearts.
