Photography

I would say I have a pretty good level of photography.  I've had a camera and took pictures since I was about eight years old.  I understand the basic concepts of photography but I still have a lot to learn.  From this unit I am expecting to learn how to get more in detail of how to take a better quality image in every light and how to make adjustments to take a better quality photo in the camera without having to edit.

Exam Week

The first time I took exams was this week.  I think I did okay but not as good as some people.  I believe that exams should not be mandatory for students to take with three or less absences because some people, like me, are not test takers and having one test be worth 20% of your grade is a little bit ridiculous.  Exams are good practice but not every one in high school is college bound.  My exams were comprehensive I guess.  I did take a lot of time to study though, some classes more than others but I at least took no less than an hour and a half on each subject.

My basketball season..

My basketball season has been very aggravating.  My coach does not like me for some odd reason.  I don't really do anything wrong but I get pointed out for everything.  My coach has favorites; its obvious to everyone.  He doesn't even know how to play basketball, I don't think he ever did play...he needs to stick to cross country.  He makes me so mad because he doesn't really even coach us, his son does ( our assistant coach) pathetic huh?  I think it is very unfair because our main point guard dated our assistant coach and was a cross runner, I think comes into factor a lot when you think about it.  I really can't wait to talk to the varsity coach about this and try to see if I can get off my team and not play for my coach.  Wish me luck.

Winter Break

For Christmas break I spent time with my family and a few friends.  We went to both of my grandmas plus the more extended Christmas parties.  I also went with Kendrick to his family Christmas'.  I ate a ton of food throughout all of break.  I got many clothes and scrap booking accessories from Santa.  From Kendrick I got a nice heated blanket, a necklace, and also a ring; there very pretty. Also during break we had a basketball tournament.  We lost horribly to Evergreen then lost again to Madison.  But we were suppose to play LCS instead of Evergreen but they dropped out.  So we still came in second place which isn't bad...but we didn't get a trophy.  For New Years we had people over and we played cards and games all night and watched the ball drop.  Then we stayed up until around four in the morning just talking and chatting with friends.  Well that was my Christmas Break.
