Week 16

My Choice Topic
The semester is almost over! Yay! Almost time to go home and be with family and old friends and not have to be in a classroom. Woo-hoo.

I am pretty much done with my website. Still need to work on the personal video though. Almost there... I have; however, been having a tough time with my online domain and hosting service. I had registered by domain with dotster about a year and a half ago, but decided to transfer to aplus because that was where was recommended, but man...has it been a hassle! And I have been trying to transfer it since late September. Argh.

Week 15

My Choice Topic
In about 5 minutes I am going to shoot my personal video. Woo-hoo. I am usually the one who likes to be behind the scene so it is a bit challenging for me to complete this assignment. But I will do it and then it will be over with.

I turned in a huge project yesterday for my major. Man, it is so weird that you spend night and day working on something and then you just hand it in...gone...out of your hands. Wow. Don't quite know how I feel about that yet.

Week 14

My Choice Topic
The week is in full swing...back to school it is for sure. The break was really nice, although I stayed up till 7:00am and woke up at 11:00am most days, but all in all I got a lot done. It was nice not having to be anywhere (aka school and work). I was just able to sit in my families dinning room and work, work, work. I had a lot of motivation, and I think that was because I was home in a comfortable place. It was truly nice. I am almost done with my website for RTVF141, meaning I have one/two more assignments that I need to finish and then post those to my site. Yay!

Week 13

My Choice Topic
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving break me and most of my group members met up to work on our short. It was a long evening, mainly because I was sick, but we got it done and it was pretty fun. I have not had experience shooting a film before so it was neat to be able to see partially how the process might work. We got it done and had a good time.

Finals are right around the corner. Am I gonna survive? Update to come...or not.

Week 12

My Choice Topic
Me and two of my group members are meeting today around 11:00am to discuss and begin to work on the audio assignment. I am excited to check it off of my list of "to dos". It will be nice to coordinate with them and see how their semester is going since we don't see each other much due to this being an internet course.

Thanks Giving is right around the corner! I can't wait. It will be so nice to finally have a few days that I don't have to be somewhere (i.e. work/school) so that I can just sit down and do my homework without any interruptions. Woo-hoo!

Week 11

My Choice Topic
My group and I are coordinating for your video project. One of our teammates has been diligently creating a script to be utilized. Some of us have been helping edit it down, since it is rather long. We are planning to meet soon as a group to discuss further and hopefully knock it off our list of "to do's". That will be splendid. When we meet we will also discuss our plans/possibilities for the audio project.

Week 10

My Choice Topic
I have been a bit confused about the group work in this course because I have tried repeatedly to get a hold of them and can usually only seem to contact one or two people. It is just a bit frustrating..but I will get ahold of them and we will get our work done, it has just been a bit of an obstacle. I am excited to work with my group and get this thing done and rolling by the end of the month.

Week 09

My Choice of Topic
I have been needing to take my computer to the apple store because the CD drive has been acting up. Hopefully during the ThanksGiving break I can do that because I will give myself two days of break from school work. I know that the computer won't come back by then, but at least it won't be detrimental as it normally would during the week.

I have been trying to keep up with all my homework, but honestly I have still been having a tough time only because my major is so time consuming. I want to do well and show that I am doing well in this course...so I still have a bit of catch up to do. I am gonna keep trying and will catch up, I know it.

Week 08

My Choice of Topic
On Tuesday my packaging project was due for Graphic Design...I am not exactly happy with the way mine turned out, but I will continue working on it and make adjustments for the end of the semester. I am really looking forward to Thanks Giving Break so that I can see my family and have a break from homework for two days. I have already told myself that I get a break...yay!

Week 07

My Choice of Topic
The week is flying by. I am working on two projects for the BFA program, but luckily I have a clear direction on both, which makes my life so much easier. Still stressed, but not in the same way. Yay!

This week the junior class is throwing our Halloween party. That should be a lot of fun, but I don't have a costume yet. Was thinking it would be fun to dress up like a nerd, possibly be
Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory". Yes I know he is a man, but he is my favorite. Yup, I think that is a grand idea.

Week 06

My Choice of Topic
The weekend has flown by...I slept a lot, for once. =) Want to sleep more though. Went to the Borders today in hopes that I would find some inspiration for a couple projects in my BFA classes. Nothing has sparked yet. Not in the mood. Want to escape from school. Traveling would be nice. Experiencing the fact that I really know little of the world would be a good lesson. Hope to be done soon...I continue to count down the days.

Week 05

My Choice of Topic
This weekend was amazing and just what I needed. I was burnt out on Friday because I had pulled four all-nighters during that week and couldn't take any more school. I went home to host a baby shower for my best friend. We had some yummy sweets and a lot of laughs so it was just what I needed. Now it is Monday night and I am getting ready for the school week to commence. Back to pulling my hair out...but I am in a pretty good mood, luckily.

Week 04

My Choice of Topic
Another week is about to be over...time continues to fly by with the sun continually seeking the west and never seeming to catch up. That is how I feel. I am constantly working on homework and not sleeping...meaning I am not doing what I love, which is running and being out doors. Only one more year left, only one more year left...

Week 03

My Choice of Topic
This week has been really stressful for me. I haven't slept more then 3 hours each night, because I have been working on homework for my major. The BFA program and the creative process is really demanding and seems to be getting the better of me at present time. I will be happy once I am finally finished with school and am able to have a free weekend. Yes, that will be nice...

This topic could be geared towards speed performance, creating content for performance, production of that content, and how well one can utilize the content and information provided, or observed and obtained, to better their experience (both as a user and as someone who wants to be known).

First Week On Campus
This first week on campus was a long, but fun. My design courses are already in full swing…demanding more homework then one would typically expect this early on in the semester. On the upside, I was able to see my family (fellow BFA GD peers that is), which always leads to good times and laughs.
