Done done and done!


I am officially done my first semester, and boy am I glad! Those classes were really starting to get annoying. I mean, sure it's nice to be on the computer, it's an advanced way to learn and complete your work. But when you're on the computer for every single one of your classes, it gets to be annoying! You get tired of typing, you get tired starring at a screen all period and to be honest, I just wanted to write! So i'm definitely glad that I now get a break from computer classes. My second semester I have one computer class which is good enough for me!


So my exams were not too bad! I went into my Communications Technology exam in the 80's. I went into my International Business exam with a 81% and I went into my Business in the Digital Environment exam with an 80%. So it was quite obvious and a relief that I was 100% sure I was going to pass all of my classes. Like the exams were really going to be that hard.


For my Communications Technology exam, I had to do a presentation presenting my final project to my teacher and classmates. As I had mentioned in another one of my blogs, my Communications Technology final project was a digital portfolio done in Hyper Studio. I basically had to present myself as a graphics designer and show case my talents and show that I was able to include sound, animation and Photoshop elements to my slides. The presentation was fast and simple and then it was on to the written part. The written part however, no big deal, it was just a write up on what went well and what didn't go well while designing my portfolio! No studying, all my own opinions, one exam, done.


For my International Business exam, we actually had to study. Myself, I HATE studying. Especially when the subject is of no interest to me. I mean, you try sitting at your computer reading note after note about exporting and importing with other countries with trade barriers and policies. It's just not interesting for me! But that is what I had to do. With an Ice-Capp in my hand the night before, I sat at my computer and read over all of my notes. I'd say the exam was okay. A bit of the information that I had read stuck in my head and I was able to complete the exam. With fifty multiple choice questions, you would think it was simple. No. The written part, required so much writing. I thought my hand was going to fall off! I was so glad when I was finished! However the Tim Horton's muffins my teacher brought for us, made it not as bad.


For my final Business in the Digital Environment exam, (which was written today) it was again, a write up on what I had learned in the course and how I will use it in the future. Very simple. I'm glad I didn't have to do any studying this semester other than International Business!


With everything being finished, I am now looking forward to starting a new semester. :)

Art, Yearbook, Entrepreneurial Studies, English.

Hello semester two. :)

No Strings Attached.

No Strings Attached.


This movie came out last Friday, (January 21st) and my boyfriend and I went to see it and it was such a cute movie!


In this comedy starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly “no strings attached.” “No strings” means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don’t fall in love. The question becomes – who’s going to fall first?


To be honest, at the beginning of the movie, I will admit, I was a bit lost. Only because as they went from 15 years earlier to 10 years earlier, the girl somewhat changed a lot once she hit the present time. So when they met up, I didn't know who he was talking to! But as the movie went along, I knew exactly who it was.


The movie was not only a cute romantic but was also a comedy! There is nothing worse, than a complete romantic movie, it's just too boring! But throw some comedy in there and you are good to go! And they found the perfect actors to do it! Ashton Kutcher is beyond hilarious and Natalie Portman, well, her character wasn't exactly the funniest, but she had her moments!


For me, this was the first movie I've actually seen, where the characters are afraid to fall in love and don't want to. Usually every other romance movie you see the two main characters are completely head over heels for each other and are just having the perfect relationship. This was a big change because a lot of people out there have the same emotions. They're scared of falling in love for the fear of getting hurt, and i'm so happy that they made a movie based on this because it can relate to a lot of people.


I would definitely recommend that you go see this movie. :)

Hands.

I am bored!

I am currently at school right now sitting in my International Business class. I am finished all of my final projects, THANK GOODNESS! It's such a big chunk of stress off of my shoulders. Although now the disadvantage of this, is that I am bored, with nothing to do.

Facebook and YouTube and what not are unblocked on the school computers, although I have no desire to go on them. I browse Facebook for about five minutes and then get bored. Nothing really happens during school hours. So I now find myself writing this blog.

I haven't actually blogged for a couple weeks now! I've been busy trying to get caught up on my school work and completing my final projects. Then on top of that, work. So I haven't exactly had the energy to post. So I think now is the perfect time!

Now that my final projects are finished, I have a new project I am working on. The Beal Art Interview is in less than two weeks and I still do not have my portfolio put together! Sure I have all the photo's, drawings and paintings I wish to put in it, but I don't have a folder, and I don't have them printed out. Reason being, I am currently in the process of drawing one more piece to add into it. I had two drawings of people, and one painting of flowers. But I wanted to show that I have greater abilities than that. So I had this photo of the Eiffel Tower that had quite a bit of detail in it, I figured that this would be perfect. The photo is almost finished and there has been over five hours put into it so far. I did not want to rush this piece so it would be near to perfect. It's looking good and I'm excited to see the finished product!

As soon as I am finished this photo, I will be on my way to finding a folder and printing my photo's! I'm really looking forward to this interview, it's been something I've been working on and thinking about a lot, and I just want it to be the best interview. I'm very confident about it.

Other than that, there is not much happening. That has been my main focus recently other than getting my work done.

I am looking forward to a new semester, and a fresh start. :)

This is the photo that i'm drawing. :)
