The End Of The Semester

A semester of high school is made of a lot of learning, a lot of creativity and some fun along the way. The main reason for high school is to prepare you for a career or career plan after Grade 12. Progress depends on your own ability to move forward during your years at Heights. It is very important to put your own plan in place and stick to it, see that you are achieving what is necessary to be successful.



Q) How have I progressed since the beginning of the semester?

A) Uh...That's a tough question. Yeah...a toughie. I'd have to say I progressed...by getting by. Also a lot of mocking from Thad wasn't helping either.

Q) What was my highlight of the semester?

A) ...Of this semester? Like are we talking about THIS whole semester as a whole or are we just talking about this class? Well for this class, I personally feel we didn't have any highlight because of the yearbook.

Q) How am I getting ready for the final exam?
 
A) Study. Study hard, study fast. STUDY. And pray to God that by his grace I can do it.

Kill the Stroke!! (Answer blog)

Ok. So here I am, explaining how easy it is to shift between the Stroke and Fill tools on Adobe InDesign. Sometimes it's quite bothersome to scroll over the mouse to the toolbar to use one of these tools, well here is a simple way. To shift bewteen Stroke and fill, simply press X. No not Z, not Y, and certainly not "I spy cocanuts.". Just X to shift from Stroke to fill. However, for example, if say you have the Stroke with a blue hue of colour but want that colour to be using that colour for Fill, then press the Shift key and then the X key. That way your desired colour is then transfered to the Fill tool.

Truth be told...I wish we had a different subject to blog about then this. No offense.

A Bad Situation Turned Good

 Q) Have you been in a bad situation where changing your tone with someone else has made the situation more positive?

A) Yes, I believe I have. But the memory was such a long time ago, it's a bit fuzzy to me to recall now. But I had done exactly that and the situation did not result in bloodshed.

Random Act of Kindness

Q) Where and when did this tradition start?


A) I guess here in College Hieghts? Or I could be wrong...the first time I had heard of this is here in College Hieghts.

Q) Have you performed a random act of kindness recently?

A) Uh...Maybe a few times? I have said hi, held open doors, nothing special. But it's hard to do when someone is being a jerk.

Q) If not, what could you do to randomly help someone else?

A) Help them. Help them with homework, open doors, say hi, buy them lunch. You know the usual. But I would only do that if they weren't being idiots.

Q) Have you ever had a favourite teacher, a teacher that you feel has really been a true mentor who has helped you to learn better, someone who you feel has done an outstanding job teaching you?

A) I can't say I have one true favorite teacher, in fact I have had a few. I eaqually like them all but I will not choose one for the sake of equality. (Pfft!! I sound like some old guy you find on a moutain top that teaches some sort of weird special ability in a story! XD) But if I did have to choose...it'll be Ms. Schaffer. As an art teacher, she has helped me through many art projects and I have always been on her nerves about late assignments. She's really helped me, with what though I cannot remember. But she DID help me, that's for certain. =D

Steve Jobs questions.

Q) What year did Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak start their first computer company?


A) It was the year of 1980 when Apple went public. Lucky guys even became millionares.

Q) What was the name of their first computer?

A) Her name was Lisa. Sadly the computer failed horribly and I guess they threw her out. Hey, not every first project is a winner. It just takes practice.

Q) Name a current Apple device that you are currently using or would like to use?

A) Hmm...I guess that would be the IPod. I would like to get one, not an IPhone but an IPod. It seems to me that the IPhone is just going to cause too much trouble for me.

The first full week.

Q) Name 3 things that have increased your interest and made the week (and a half) a little more exciting.  Explain in full sentence form (minimum of 3 sentences).

A) 3 things that have increased my interest?

1: Hmm...I'd guess it's Photoshop for starters. Lately I have been into drawing on photoshop and playing around with the awesomesauce effects, so I'm glad we're using photoshop again this year...and hopefully it won't be used in class for making those dingbat page layouts...AGAIN.

2: ...I would type it down but it could potentally be the subject for teasing, so you know what? I'm not giving any one of you a chance to know it.

3: 2 words and a few numbers. FINAL FANTASY IX, X, X-2, and XIII.
