What I have been up to

So I have not had a lot of time to post,

well really I just haven't taken the time to do it.

We have been very busy around here.

The boys are growing and being boys

making mud messes and basically getting into everything.

Justin is working and working and working out.

School is going well. Intro to film is ok. Interesting stuff and I feel like I am learning more about why things are done that way and what they mean etc... but I don't especially love the movies and clips. I really wish we could pick movies to write about. I also feel like there are better examples out there. But I also understand that many of the students taking the class do not watch R movies and or don't really care. So to apease them we watch a lot of ok movies that are really easy to interpret. She also really likes the George Lucas Steven Spielberg generation of movie makers. Which is fine I just think there are many better ones out there and that students should at least be exposed to them at least via movie clips throughout the course. ( we are offered a section after every lesson for feedback I hope the teacher doesn't hate me because I leave lots of it.)

I like my photography class a lot and am learning how to use lightroom. Which is pretty cool.

This week is the first time we got to play with most of the fun tools.

It was a black and white assignment.

I don't think I will use iphoto to manipulate photographs anymore this is awesome!

Oh and I got glasses. So far I love them. And my mom will be happy to know that I am actually wearing them to read and do computer work.

School and kids

Blah this semester is over.

I am glad to be done with it.

I Believe I will have two A's, but my math class... well if I pass I will be REALLY surprised.

I didn't get above a 70 on any test. But I am totally ok with taking it again. I mean if I had a hard time getting through the material and remembering it all there is no way I would pass the next math course. I always knew I would never work in a math based carrer :)

I am looking forward to starting Biology, Photography, Typography and Film next week!!!

We started a new routine yesterday. We are all waking up with Justin. The boys are fine with it so far. a few tears were shed last night because of sleepiness. But now I can have a car when I need durring the day. I am also hoping that I will have more time to do class work in the evening. We shall see if it works.
