1/21-2/4

Happy: Well, I suppose the snow day made me happy. Even though it was kind of pointless, and I didn't even get to do anything during it.
Un-happy: I picked up alot of hours from work. I'm on a six day work streak that may continue to be longer depending on whether I'm scheduled for monday and beyond of next week.
Learned: I learned that I'm not allowed to volunteer at the SPCA until I'm 18, which totally sucks. Luckily I only have a month and 14 days left.
Want to learn: The ability to throw together quick vegetarian foods. Seeing as I'm almost never home to cook or make myself anything.

zisweek

Liked that the semester is ending. This means I will finally have a lunch after next week. Disliked that I have a whole lot to do lately. Exams and like 604093480 projects here. Except maybe that's exaggerating. I learned how to do stop motion in fcp after there were extensive issues with the pictures for some reason. I want to learn how to yodel.

week

for the week of 1/14/11
Like: Hannah's mom made me toast. With cheese in it. I like to call it grilled cheese, it's a family recipe.
Dislike: Corrupt files. Technology is a h8r
Learned: Motion sucks with big files. ie video clips. And that we share 50% of the same dna as bananas.
Want to learn: I would like to learn how to dougie. Even though Jenni has already taught me.

I'm just gonna do my weekly commentz a day early!

On this fine week of 2011:
What made me happy was seeing Ann Marie's beautiful face. But besides that I dunno.. One thing that made me unhappy was being back to school, because I really do not like it, and break ended very fast. This week I learned green screen.. It's easier in motion. In my opinion. One thing I want to learn is I suppose cameras in motion, still. They're so difficult.

okbyeeee

THIS WEEK

One thing that made me happy this week was almost finishing my Christmas shopping! One thing that made me unhappy was overdrafting my account, which sucks because I HAVE the money, but I transfer it monthly to my savings account so I can't get it out. Hopefully I don't get charged though because I get paid today and my charges were only pending last time I checked :)
One thing I learned this week was how to make inappropriate baked goods, via Ann Marie. One thing I want to learn is how to use cameras in motion, cause it's so useful but confusing.

Thank you Wisconsin

I'm in homeschool right now.

And I have nothing to do, but I'm in the library so I figured I'd post a blog! (For some reason, every website is blocked on these computers except blogger.) I learned motion today. I <3 motion. There's sooooooooooooo much stuff that you can potentially do with it that I think I would never even know where to begin. One thing I didn't like about this week was that my car is officially going to be smushed and stripped of any good part it has. One thing I did like about this week was the assurance that I wouldn't get a crappy car, just less good than the one I had. And one thing I want to learn is just how to use motion more, really. I wish I knew it super well but unfortunately I don't think I ever will, haha.
Happy thanksgivingggg!

...sigh

This week. Oooooh, this week.
One thing I learned was motion. One thing I want to learn.. is motion. Seeing as apparently I'll be teaching it to tenth graders and I have never even touched the program, ahah. Nothing made me happy this week, because this week sucked existentially. One thing that made me frustrated this week was this entire week.
I miss my car. It was my best friend.

Yesterday was 11/11!

SO, one thing that I learned this week was how to make it look like someone is having thought clouds in a video :) Sarah witnessed it. It's rough, but I'm going to make it work out some day. One thing I want to learn is how to make text look cooler in FCP. I haven't really messed around with it enough yet. There was no school for Veterans day, so for community service, I served veterans breakfast. There was one guy named Stanley Maziarz who was 89 I believe (and still in awesome shape), who pulled out pictures from the 40s of himself and the war, and kept talking about specific stories from when he was in Normandie on D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge and how his whole team died except him and his friend. Not to mention, he was a TOTAL babe when he was a young lad. I took a picture on my phone of his picture of himself. I'll post it sometime after I get picture messaging (which should be next week-ish). One thing that frustrated me about this week was that Sarah keeps calling me Jenni, because she doesn't know the difference between us. I don't want to be known as Jenni, because we all know what Mama Licata thinks of her after today.

ZIS WEEK

I learned that the lavalier mics don't fit on the hf s21 cameras, causing me to use a slightly more ghetto method of strapping it to the tripod via that white band thing that comes in the case. But alas, worry not, Madame Licata has ordered converter things to make it capable. One thing I didn't like about this week.. was nothing really. I liked this week. Something I DID like about this week. Well, the first marking period is over. 3/4 of the year till graduation. My parents brought me a veggie burrito from mighty yesterday. It's been a good week, basically. What I want to learn.. hm. I guess learning greenscreen stuff would be cool. I can then make invisibility cloaks, as Sarina pointed out... >:]

This lovely week of October

I learned how to use the cameras! Yessss. I also got a little more savvy at FCP. Something that I didn't like about this week was the fact that my seaworld thing kept being all glitchy. But in the end it worked out. What I liked about this week: JOSIAH LEMING OMG. Sarah knows. I saw him yesterday. Almost cried joy tears. I can't even begin to explain what a talented musician he is. His voice, for one thing, is extroardinary. And then his crazy skills on keys. He's just really different from most musicians I know now. But anyways! Yes, I went to see him yesterday at Mohawk Place. My life is 1/2 complete. I wish I was that good of a musician :(

What I want to learn, in reaction to this Josiah spiel, is how to become a better song writer. I can't stand hearing the same song over and over by the same pop acoustic artist about love and lust and all that [BEEP].

It'll happen someday.

mmm

This week sucked. So did last week.
So basically I learned FCP this week. I'm super excited to do stuff on it. Stuff that's not sea world. I want to learn motion! And how to dougie, but Jenni taught me the jist of that today. I also wanna learn how to successfully be a vegetarian. Not just stop eating meat and eat salad all the time and then quit being a vegetarian, cause if I make an attempt I'd rather continue with it. (But I can't do that for another few months anyways.) I loved The Cove. Supersize Me was cool too, but not quite as cool. What I didnt like about this week was the sub. Filters=not a prime day at boces. AND sea world. Frickin hate sea world.

It's that time again.

Thisss week: I learned how to use Audacity and Garageband (as did all of you, ha). It's cool making a story with only sound, but sometimes the story gets a little blurred without a visual. I want to learn what specific things mean within Audacity/Garageband (Filters and stuff), AND how to make the sandwich that I posted earlier. Something that frustrated me was the lack of sounds I could find to imply people talking. There was not any sort of grunting that could serve as talking anywhere that I could find, so I just settled with distorting actual talking until it sounds ridiculous and unrealistic. What made me happy this week was the lack of school stuff. No school Monday, not going to (home)school Friday, and minimal stuff to do for the three days in between. I <3 senior year.

I also watched V for Vendetta yesterday. It was homework-ish for my government class, and it was really good :)

THIS WEEKS NEWS:

SO, this week I learned that NCCC is sort of awesome compared to what it's reputation is (or at least the reputation I've heard). I really didn't want to do a two-years-at-NCCC thing, but figured I really should because it's such a money saver, but now that I've actually toured there/seen the programs I'd be in, I definitely want to take the classes in January. Not that I'm definitely GOING to, I just definitely WANT to. I want to learn video, like...now, haha. I'm so excited about this documentary thing, but I can't think of anything significant enough to do it on quite yet. I liked the LCTV field trip today. It's definitely cool to know that you can volunteer there for resumes and experience and stuff. There's not much I didn't like about this week, just homeschool! :)

Also, my mom just walked in and told me what SHE learned today: when a pot-belly pig likes you, it pees.

weekly comments

This week hasn't been significant at all. Just another week, I guess. I'm really excited that I learned about merging visible layers into a brand new layer (option, merge visible). That saves me a whoooole lot of new copies/flattening. I would like to learn the basics of audacity/garage band, because I'm starting my script but I'm not so sure how to go about the program. With time. In the end I liked my worth1000 project and the way it turned out, but I sort of wish I would have chosen something different. Two things I didn't like about this week were: 1) That horrible, obnoxious sex ed guy 2) The unfairness of my place of employment/how informal they are. They forced my friend Melissa to resign. NOT COOL.

this week!

Currently, everyone is at BOCES except NT kids. :) I sort of wish I went just so I can finish my color stuff on time, even though it's due Monday. But I also like sleeping a whole lot.. This week, I learned what split complements were, because I was unawares they even existed. I'm really excited to learn video, though. Having access to awesome cameras (Canon Vixias?) and Final Cut Pro.. I really want to learn that. Especially for video scholarships. The only thing I've really gotten mad about (if I can even call it that at all?) is how horrible NT's guidance counselors are. She has not helped me one bit in high school for anything. In fact, as I just told him recently, Zach Pape has acted more like my guidance counselor than she has. She called me down to give me a form that was due last week, that I already got without her because I know she's not dependable. And what made me happy this week.. well, I guess I have a new cousin as of yesterday, which is kind of a shocker to me because I only just found out my uncle's wife was pregnant. Named Logan. And tonight is the Light The Night walk! I started a team and fundraised money via selling those paper things you write your name on at Budwey's. :)

This week has been super stressful, but it went by really fast. Most of what we learned in photoshop I kind of already knew, but I did learn how to add color to black and white photos, so that's sort of cool. I'm frustrated because right now I'm being rushed to leave, but I really need to finish this blog post since I'll be gone all weekend. I'm pretty happy about not working though.. And because I'm VERY restrained on time right now, that's all I can write. So farewell, blog.
