WOW
Wow, it has been a while since I last blog, however, I look at the calender and notice that it has only been 2 weeks, however, it feels much longer than that. To recap:
I hope everyone had a niice Thanksgiving, filled with togetherness of family and friends. We shall start recent and move backwards, while this might make for a boring blog, we shall try something new. Saturday, I was supposed to go to Wild Mountain to teach children how to snowboard through an organization called Blizzards, however, I realized that I had so much homework to do that it would not be possible to go to Wild Mountain on Saturday and go filming for Burial Ground on Sunday. However, the choice was a no brainer, basically since one Burial Ground is an independent study for Production Studio I and snowboarding is for pay. I needed the extra boost in class. So Saturday I got up around 10 or so do start doing homework, now, recently I have re-picked up a show, and have been looking online to find the episodes that I have missed just to catch up and get a better idea why people are the way they are. So I started to find the episodes, while finding those I started on my Broadcast corrections. I had decided that once I finished re-doing a company logo for a visual effects company, I could do two things, one take a shower, and two watch an episode of One Tree Hill. While fixing the project only took a little under 2 hours, I am quite happy with the work. Now, I have already turned in all the projects for the class, there were 4 projects in 1 project. So like 4 mini projects rolled into one. I decided that because to fix these projects is only to get a better grade that I would fix the two that most people in the class liked. So I did, I then realized that I was further along with my homework and after my shower, ended up puttsing around. However, I did exercise in the form of StepMania (a computer version of DDR). And then I did something that for some reason means a lot, why it means a lot I don’ t know, it just meant a lot. Friday: I got up early to do some homework simply because I wasn’t going to go to do Black Friday shopping and my teacher told us to not take the last weekend off, however, due to Burial Ground and a snowboard clinic I was unable to do any of my homework last week, which made me feel extremly behind, so I got up early to try and make up time. This proved to be a mistake, simply because I was at my house, with my parents, sister, and brother. I hardly got anywork done, simply because my sister wanted me to do things, and then I had to help my mom (which is no big deal, she just needed help because she just recently had surgery and can’t lift anything heavy). Then however, my dad had asked to take a look at my laptop to see what music he would be interested in having, however, upon opening up my library, I realized that it was corrupt for some reason, so I re-imported my library and had to delete all of the songs that were corrupted and that took forever. However, after trying to fix my library my dad had decided that it was too much work, however, now that I had started cleaning up my library for him I had to finsih simply because those files were slowing down my memory and I needed it to do a project somewhat efficiently, however, after I seemed to have finished cleaning up, my dad decided that it would be worth while to take a look at what I have, which took time for him to decide. Ultimately I had decided that I was going to go back to school Friday night to get some more homework done, that would be better done on my pc. However, after the 90 minute drive I realized that I can no longer think of what I want to do, so I went to a friends house and we procceded to go to another friends house to hang. Turkey day, was awesome got to see a lot of family I hadn’t seen in a while, got to do a lot of catching up, and some random talkings, actually got a real meal, since I live in an apartment and I don’t really have time to make an actual meal. Wednesday, worked and school, didn’t feel to good at work, but eventually got over it. Tuesday, class all day, got back papers, read, random class things. Monday, presentations for broadcast…sucked simply because a lot of my classmates didn’t have anything to show, and I worked my ass off to finish them (or maybe that was the Monday before….I don’t remember). Sunday had a snowboarding clinic, it was good, lots of stuff to learn. Saturday, Burial Ground, I was basically clean bitch for the duration of the day, and then door bitch for the night, I guess which is ok, simply because cleaning I was out of the cold and was moving around, so I wasn’t cold. Door bitch kinda sucked simply because the actor were acting great, and I couldn’t see it. We were filming in the woods at night, so you need lights, with no outlets we are forced to use a generator that is relatively close to the mic of the camera (with in a hundred feet) so we kept the generator in the car and closed the door, however, this causes the car to get all steamy from the carbon-dioxide and cause the generator to over heat equalling a bad thing. So I was assigned to open the doors between takes, this also served as a good purpose too, simply so the truck where the generator resided in wouldn’t blow up, due to the carbon-dioxide and the closeness of very flammable liquids…one could say gasoline. Filming took quite a lot of time, however, we were done, faster than expected. The crew was told that film wrap for the day would be done about midnight which ment sometime around two in the morning, however, we finished filming before midnight..it was awesome, after getting back I proceeded to pack a bag and my snowboard gear so I could go play the Wii, it just came out and Jason had gotten it. I have to say, I prefer tennis the best, I really like that, however, I lost a bet to Jason and now get to take him out to dinner, which is awesome. We are going to make it a day of it…The choices of restaurants are The Cheesecake Factory or the Macaroni Grill…both he has never been too, we went to Southdale Mall tonight to have dinner with my aunt and uncle and grandma before my aunt and uncle left for back home. We decided that we should go shopping (no there are differences between shopping and purchasing) we will probably end up going shopping just to pick up the necessities…you know, socks a couple of other things, things that family members wouldn’t get you. The random things that you need, but wouldn’t expect them to be gifts. After Saturday, I vaguely remember what went on. However, I am feeling better and am no longer in what you could say a depressed mood. Which is good, it comes and goes, just like everything else. So until the next blog, I hope everyone had a good turkey day, and got to catch up with family and friends, and Happy Holidays <- there is a big debate about that…should it be happy holidays or should it be merry Christmas….a debation, however, I personally feel that happy holidays includes everyone, even those that do not celebrate Christmas, and then on Christmas, it is merry Christmas..this way nobody is offended and everybody is included, no matter what religious or non-religious holiday you follow, so once again….. Happy Holidays
