Illustrator stuff

Today we learned how to make a strat column on illustrator. We used the pathfinder to clean up the picture and then we made our own halloween picture. I was a little confused today because I got lost a couple times.

Tonight for Halloween my friends and I are going to go to like 3 parties and then watch brothers grim.

More Illustrator

We learned how to make our own picture in illustrator today. We placed and embedded an image so that it will open again and it is not a link. We learned how to align and distribute space in lines or text or whatever we want. I a little frustrated today because I had trouble cutting the image. We were going pretty fast and I missed a couple words so was lost the entire section.

My favorite Halloween costume has been an indian. When I was little I wanted to be Pocahontas and would dress up in an indian costume and play in the woods where I lived in Missouri. I would dress up like that every year.

Illustrator

Illustrator was fun today, we learned how to draw and manipulate shapes, text, and use the pencil and paint tools to create our own shapes. I liked being able to just create whatever comes to my mind. I was not frustrated at all today, the lecture was very good.

Something I would like to know about the future is if my family will all live near each other. We grew up far away from the rest of my family and we have all wanted to live close when we settle down.

Clone Tool


We used the clone tool today in class to remove or add objects to our picture. I was a little confused because when I try to remove people in the mexico picture, you can see the sand repeating really badly and it does not look real at all.

I don't have any superstitions, but when I was little my sister tried to make me think that if a black cat walked across your path you would have bad luck for 13 years. If that was so, I would still be having bad luck!

Merging


Today we merged three photos to make it look like one long picture of dead horse point. It was really cool how we could do that, I liked that I couldn't even tell where I had erased part of a picture and the other began. I was not fristrated about anything today.

I am a sports fan for the teams who I know, but I don't watch TV just to watch sports. If I know who is playing, I am a big sports fan.

Fall Activities

In class today we played with photoshop some more. We learned how to use the burn and dodge tool, the eraser, and how to edit a scanned image. It was a lot of fun because I like art anyway so I got to mess with a picture to make it better. I was not frustrated or confused at all today.

My favorite fall activity is playing outside in the wind and leaves that blow around. There aren't so many around here in Utah, but in Missouri there would be tons of leaves because there were so many trees.

Even more photoshop


Today we learned more about how to edit font and shapes with pictures in photoshop. We also added a border and edited text with a picture. I was not confused about anything today.


The best date I have ever been on was when we went to DI to pick out funny outfits for each other and we had to wear that outfit that night when we went ice skating. Afterwards, the boys attacked us with flour and we had a big fight.

More Photoshop


Today in class we learned how to correct crookedness in pictures by using photoshop and we altered the color and shadows. It took me a while to find out how to do some things like change the background so that was a little frustrating, but overall i really liked today's lecture.

My worst injury was a broken wrist when I was 9. My brother was bouncing me on the trampoline and I landed on my arm and broke my wrist.

Photoshop

Today we worked in photoshop and learned how to layer and edit pictures. We will do miniature assignments with pictures we choose to edit and then we will make one for our paper as well. I was a little confused about how to pick a layer to use it when the computer has the other layer selected.

My favorite season is fall because i love the colors of the leaves and it's usually not too hot or cold. I love to be outside during this time and play in the wind.

Test Review and Pets

Today I was late for class because I watched my friend defend her thesis for the first half of class. For the part that I was here, we reviewed what we had learned about excel and the format of the test. I did not have any questions besides those that were probably answered for the part that I missed.

I grew up with three dogs who had puppies often so there were always labrador puppies around my house and we would sell them when they were 6 weeks old. My favorite puppy was a little black boy named Zorro. I used to sneak him inside to sleep with me and my mom would get mad. Then one day I came home from school and he had been sold while I was gone. It was so sad...

Charts, Adventure

We made charts in excel today in class. It was really cool how we could insert charts in addition to what we had typed in the cells like we did last time. I did not get frustrated about anything, it was really smooth today.

If money was not an issue, my adventure would be to scuba dive in the ocean and swim with dolphins :)

More excel and breakfast

today we had more practice working with excel by making a table. we learned how to do formulas really fast so that we can spend a lot less time typing and calculating ourselves. The biggest difference in the dp and da that I found was 8592.8. I was not frustrated at all today, I liked class a lot.

my favorite breakfast food is french toast. I mostly like the recepie my mom makes because when I try to make a different one the bread comes out dry :)

Excell

Today in class we learned how to use Microsoft Excell and how to format columns and rows to make tables look the way we want. We also had help doing our cover letter for our proposal. I was not frustrated about anything today, it was a good day.

If I could play an instrument I would play the harp because I think it is a really neat instrument and would take a lot of talent-it is very beautiful.

PDF and wierd relatives

Today I learned how to create a PDF and edit it how I want without having to go into Microsoft. We learned how to insert and rotate pages and edit someone else's document and other such things.
I did not have any major questions except that I missed the part about inserting pages that you select.
My wierdest relative is my cousin Emily who we run from at family reunions. She is crazy and will hurt you sometimes so you have to be fast :)
