Yes, I know...I have been on hiatus for a few days. So I'll try to highlight the past few days.
Wednesday- I had volunteered to work as the graphics operator for the youth...which basically means I just click the text for the lyrics to come up on the screen. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go, so I just had to explore and feel my way around till I came to a closet looking room with a narrow hallway tht lead to a crawl space directly under the stadium style seats. I have realized that if you throw on a black shirt and walk around here like you know what you are doing, no one will question you.
It turned out that they had scheduled three other operators that night, so I got to spend a lot of time being taught on how to use the equipment by the second semesters.
Thursday-I had Sisterhood in the morning, I think they have permanently placed me in the home-schooled area. However, some of the other TV/media students said I wouldn't be working in there for very much longer because I would be needed to work the cameras and such.
Later, I had a video editing class at 1:15pm. I have been placed in the "advanced" class, but I have realized that I am probably the most inexperienced student there. A chunk of the class was spent practicing putting text to image. Our teacher gave us about thirty pictures and told us to overlay text on them with background music. I didn't know how to use all of the effects, so I wrote something witty for a few of the pictures and put them in some different fonts for practice. He seemed to like it.
Friday- Went to the city to run some errands. Bearden and I had to buy some external hard drives for our computers. I had a hard time spending the money seeing as my computer is relatively new and I haven't used much of the disk space up on it, but our teacher strongly recommended it because he would be giving us a ton of video to dice up over the year and I was going to have to buy one eventually.
Saturday (today)- It's Bearden's birthday so we had some folks over. We made some tacos, cut up some pineapple and the girls brought some cake and ice cream. After hanging out a little bit, we put on his favorite movie (Into the Wild) and watched it. Some people didn't appreciate it because it was so long and had a sad ending, others loved it.
They played this song in chapel this week...it was magical.
