aaah... so many long posts recently...
INTERVIEW/SHADOW, PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS, and i feel like there was more that i was going to talk about....
SO! interview and shadowing, i think, went really well. much better then the actual test ;P lol, that's not exactly very good... haha. yeah, but shadowing was really fun. i shadowed someone who i already semi-knew and she's really nice, besides. i went to 3 classes: ART (lovelovelove), Bible (which was EXCELLENT!), and math. Art was a good way to start b/c um i like art! they were making stamps out of linoleum. i was just kinda sitting there, and then the teacher was like oh! do you want to do it? so he gave me a little piece and i made a really ugly border thing and a soccer ball ;P lol they were horrible but i couldn't think of anything else... but it was fun :)
Bible was really good... we read Genesis 5 and then discussed the different theories about their "ages"-- Methusaleh (sp?) lived to be 969 or whatever and how some people think that's actually the length of the family line, etc. the teacher asked me to pick a color, and she was holding up the expo markers, but i couldn't tell and the only color i could see was yellow... soo as you probably know, yellow is kinda hard to read on a blackboard! lol, wrong choice... whatever... it was ok though b/c she didn't use yellow the whole time ;P
math is disgusting. they were in Algebra 2 (which is what i happen to be in...) but i had NO idea what they were talking about the whole time... it was wicked boring ;/ lol haha...
there were SO many people who were like "are you a *lastname*?" apparently we're really popular even though there's only 2 of us there... *so far*... lol haha :L i'm just kinda making up smileys lol...
AAAAAAAANDD... photography class today...
so we were supposed to bring in or email a photo that someone else had taken that we liked, so i brought this in: ok, it's up there /\ b/c for some reason, it won't let me drag it... ((photo credit: Jasmine Star, jasminestarblog.com))
she is an absolutely AMAZING photographer. yeah, so i brought that one in, and only like 1 person in the class other than me had anything good to say about it! it was ridiculous! there's this one guy who just loves to critique everybody's and he just was railing off all this stuff that was SUPPOSED to be there... and the teacher was like "what do you think they're relationship is like?" "oh they're probably really mean to each other..." etc... i was like gonna cry cuz they were dissing it left and right... ugh. i mean, it's a great class, but i don't know why they were being so negative about it!
*sigh* anywho, that's all i have to say today, i suppose...

it stinks that that dude was a jerk. the world of art is really brutal sometimes, as I can testify firsthand. I did this photo series once that ended up being pretty controversial in my one photo class.... it was crazy man. I think there need to be more people with open hearts and minds. and when critique is given it should be gracious and humble. but I'm still working on that myself.
amen... ('bout working on critique)
it's not really that sophisticated of a class. it's just kinda "lets's take pictures yay!" lol there's only like 3 people in it who have dslr's... everybody else uses disgusting flash, etc, if ya know what i mean... ;P haha... yeah, but it's just supposed to be a fun, more relaxed class.
haha yeah I hear you. I don't have a DSLR myself, but point-and-shoot cameras can actually take decent photos--only, however, if you learn the different settings. one of the most important ones being how to turn the flash off. :)
jasmine star is one of my favourites too!
