Final Blog

I was in Lefty's Right Hand, it was about Lefty Rosenthal
I feel that this class has gone beyond what I expected it to be. When I first started the class I thought that we would be typing a bunch of nonsense into word and get through the class in no time, but we actually did a lot more work than I expected. We not only used programs I was familiar with, we used programs that I had only ever heard about or seen in passing, so this will help my future experiences a lot.

Also the work load for the class itself was way more than I, or even most of the class, expected. While it seemed at first this would be a disadvantage because I believed that it would interfere with what I thought were more “important” classes, it actually in the long run will help me out later on in my school life and my career. It will help me be ready for the more advanced classes that will be coming along in my future.

The grade I expect from this class is at least an A-, if not an A.

At first I was having some problems getting my account to work, but once I had the first part done I was able to get the account done and go shoot this quick video. As you can see I called it “Quick bs for the class” because I’m not that entertaining on camera, and I had to have something, so this is what you get. I was able to get this video up in a short time, and realizing that if I could get a video uploaded onto the net so fast, no wonder people are getting and acting stupider all the time, because they just have the option to put themselves and others out there at times when it wouldn’t normally be the best for them to be seen.
