So today was the wrap-up of a six-class long survivor activity. In AP US, my teacher made challenges based off of the information we were learning and kept a tally for points. The challenges were so much fun, and I ended up coming in second. I'm sort of frustrated though because the winners from the two classes (because there are two APUSH classes) compete for Ultimate and Runner up for actual bonus points. I was so close. If I had won I would've been guaranteed 10 points on my next test (which would help me out a lot). Anyways, all grade-frustration aside, I am kinda proud for coming in 2nd. I'm really not that good at history, and there are people in my class so much smarter, so I take it as a personal victory. :] Oh yes, the positive spin. I'm trying to keep my life "Sonny" lol
I'm also frustrated in my photo class. I swear for like the entire month of December we didn't do ANYTHING, and 4 classes before the end of the semester, my teacher gives us two huge projects--including a research paper AND powerpoint as well as the photos. And what pisses me off even more is that he keeps changing the criterea--first we need 3 collages,ten images, then 5 need natural lighting. So I did that. THEN he tells me that 5 MUST be done with "stage lighting" so now all the ones that I spent my precious time doing at home (like HE suggested we do) were pointless. I want to punch a wall.....
And now for the fun stuff!!
More "Portrait Project" images:
Studio lighting:
&& Apparently there are 4 kids at my school who also have Panda Hats? I've had mine since September...I guess that makes me a trend-setter!
Non-Studio Lighting?
I have a LOT more, but these are just the highlights.
I also have natural lighting ones, but I guess I'll post those later!
Other Stuff
A portrait of my sister
Picture of some icicles I took....when I was locked outside of my house for 45 minutes. I forgot my key. Fail on my part....
I freakin love my cats.
Speaking of cats, Nemo (not the one in the picture) fell asleep on me last night while I was (attempting to) study for my chem test :) And his official name has been changed to Captain Nemo, from 20,000 leagues Under the Sea. I have never read it, but my Grandpa suggested it. I think it's adorable.
&& fun weekend! NAWT. I will be spending the next three days: Outlining four essays, writing 3 papers, making a photo collage, studying for my APUSH test, Math lab, APUSH, math, and chem midterms, AND my English regents. So in short my life will suck for the next two weeks >.<
Keep your lives Sonny guys!
Peace out.
