This post is a little late since I uploaded my new website a week or two ago, but I still thought I should post something.
My old theme was a little un-business like for me and needed a professional look, tada. Unfortunately I was so excited to get it online that I didn’t exactly finish it. My portfolio does not yet show the full view, and my comment system is run by Facebook. I assure that this weekend (July 9th) I will have everything complete. My internet has been down for a 5 days and finally got it back yesterday. It’s horribly sluggish and will be until the cable that is strewn across our alley is replaced and buried. Yippee.
Anyway, just thought I’d followup and let any of my readers, if any, what was going on. (: I will have a blog post about my summer soon too! It’s been amazing!
Well.. It’s the end of high school forever. This has to be one of the most depressing times of my life. I know that even though I say I won’t miss it, I will probably miss the tiny little things. I guess I’ll take this time to look back on everything I’ve done and overcame.
The big turning point for me was joining BPA. I would absolutely not be where I am without it, especially without Ms. Laroux, my advisor. I was that awkward kid in class that never talked. BPA got me involved and forced me to converse with so many other people. My first year in the organization was a bust I guess. I mean, we went to regionals for a day then left. The next year I advanced all the way to Nationals. I completely burst out of my shell by then, (you really can’t shut me up now) and had the time of my life. This year I made it to Nationals AGAIN but this time not just in web site design team, but my individual, Fundamentals of Web Design. We were in Washington, D.C. and had a BLAST. We had horrible experiences but that made it even better hahaha. So yeah, you haven’t heard the results! For Web Site Design Team we placed… *drumroll* 2nd in the NATION! For Fundamentals of Web Design I didn’t place but I did make it to the top 8.
I definitely need to give thanks to my Web Mastering and Broadcasting teacher, Mrs. Rayson. She really helped me the past 3 years and definitely became a 2nd mom to me. I really couldn’t express all my thanks in words for all she has done. I was given the honor to be lead webmaster for 2 years, and chosen as her Lighthouse student this year. I can’t believe it’s all over though…
Wow this is sad. *tear*
In my previous post I said that I was practicing for my Final Cut Pro exam and I’m happy to say that I passed and am now certified in Final Cut Pro!! Now I have two certifications under my belt, FCP and HTML. Wooo!
I have orientation for University of North Texas in about 3 weeks and finally have a roommate chosen. He’s a junior but we’re both majoring in Communication Design plus he’s just legit. So that’s about it now… Sorry I haven’t responded to any comments. My soul had been sold to BPA and school. OH YEAH! Graduation is in 11 days. I’m SO STOKED. I plan to blog a couple more times in the upcoming week so look for it please
I haven’t blogged in so long! In the past month that I have been absent quite a lot has happened. First off, GRADUATION IS IN 35 DAYS. I’m so excited. I’ve completed my housing and everything for UNT, and already found a roommate that will be pretty awesome! All I have to do now is try and fax my financial aid forms over again. I hope that the delay of sending them doesn’t mean I miss out on some free moola.
In school, I’ve been doing really well. The 5th six weeks ended and I only had one B and it was pre-cal. In broadcasting we’ve been working on the Senior video. I’m the director and have to compile everyone’s video plus create the intro, credits etc. I’ve been going with a Tron theme because well.. It’s just epic and amazing. With this going on I’ve also been studying for my Final Cut Pro certification exam, which if I pass I don’t even know what I’ll do with myself. haha.
I’m not sure what to write about at this point if I think of anything else I’ll blog more so here is the best news I have! On Friday I took a certification exam for HTML and passed it “with excellence”! So I am now W3 HTML Certified!
