Photography

I absolutely love taking pictures. I mostly take pictures of myself, but I do also like taking pictures of things. I would say my level of photography and experience would be a 3 out of 10.  I would like to say I know a lot, but I also know that there is so much more to taking pictures that I don't know about. I find it so amazing that people are able to capture such an amazing moment and beautiful site. For someone to capture that and be able to relive moments and share them is incredible. I know to basically point and shot, but I really dont know about he lighting. I know you need to have certgain color in the background and a certain shyade of light, but not that much. I am expecting to learn how to take better pictures and really capture the moment. What lighting is right and how to really use my camera. I am very excited to get working with cameras and taking pictures.

Exams

Exams were awful. I cannot say how much I despise exams. The whole week of preparing I was bombarded with study guides, and teachers telling me that their exam was the most important and that I should really put their exam ahead of every other exam.  I did not do as well as I hoped.  I studied extremely hard, everyday when I got home from school, I would go in my room and start studying.  This put a lot of stress and anxiety on me.  I do not think that we should have mandatory exams at our school. It puts a lot on students to be studying for seven exams. Staying up late, waking up early and being exhausted from the night before, then going got school and being put pressure on yourself by teachers. I am a student who has good grades, and when I am given tests, I don't not do well. So being given an exam is incredibly bad for me. Taking exams in high school I do not believe to be preparing you for college.  You regularly take test to see how you are doing in the subject. I think that is all you need. High school and college are two different things. In college, you may not have seven classes to study for, only a couple. The tests were not all comprehensive.  In some classes, there were not even material that we had went over on the test. I had to study for SEVEN tests! That is an overwhelming feeling and stress feeling. I cannot stand exams.

One of the most awkward time of my life

I was sitting minding my own business, when all of a sudden I feel a pain in my shoulder area. I look over to see Tara Kapri Krise teeth clenching my arm. I don't know what I did to deserve this biting but I guess she felt the need to bite me. The phrase "Bite Me" now actually means bite me. literally.  I have never been bitten before, so there is a first time for everything. I can now say if I have been bitten. Take it from me, it hurts and I dont wish being bitten on anyone. Its really weird and awkward.
I did have kinda a bad weekend. I dont know what was wrong with me, but I was super emotional. I just felt down in the dumps. I really hope this week goes a whole lot better. I am going to try to have a positive attitude about everything and just make myself have a good week. Hope you have a great week!!

Two Weeks of Pure Enjoyment

Christmas break, every kid looks forward to it. It is a time where you can just kick back and relax and enjoy the holiday season. For me, it was great. I had two weeks off with my family. Christmas was great, I always love spending time with my family. The week following Christmas, I did nothing but veg. My mom, dad, and I just sat around the house and chilled. Which is extremely abnormal or us. We are always do something, but it was so nice to just do absolutely nothing. Christmas came and went way too fast.  New Years came. I went to a wedding on New Years Eve, it was beautiful and very fancy. The two weeks went by so fast to me.  It literally seams that only maybe two day ago I started break. Its usually after Christmas break when things tend to fly by. I have to say that I am looking forward to my next break. Hope you all had a wonderful and safe break too.  Here is to next break!
