O HAI,
I have this really big history project and well it’s about WW1 of course. But I’m kind of motivated to push myself to do something really creative and different for this project :D I have this idea of taking some pictures of myself and seeing if I can make it look like it’s from the war times. Yay! For dressing up as a soldier. I also want to make it like it’s an envelope and that would be my title page.
Being a creative side to my projects is always something that excites me. I hope to post my project here on my blog if it turned out the way I wanted it to (fingers crossed).
Anyways, I’ve been spending quite some time on it. And plus I actually got my parents to correct it which is like torture because they practically tell me that my whole text doesn’t make sense T.T but striving for the perfect project, what’s better than the perfect spellcheck! *Sigh this project is really time consuming though.
I really think swimming would have interfered with the amount of work I’m getting this year. So I guess it was the best decision, although there will always be that one part of me that will regret leaving and feel some sort of guilt.
But school has been good in general this year.. I guess. We had some couple new people, I wanted to talk to them but I was too shy. Really feels like it should be vice versa eh? Anyways, I guess it can’t be helped.
And I find math ridiculously easy.. like it’s so boring. I thought the pre-Ib pace would be faster. BUT NOOOO. There’s always this one guy who doesn’t get it! Always slows the class down, so the teacher has to explain it over and over and over and over and over AGAIN. It’s so amazingly annoying. I thought you had to be able to get things faster for the IB program. For now, it’s the same boring math class as I had last year. Don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mind math…… when you don’t explain the same !#*)(#* thing over and over again.
Anyways, it’s probably just me, I should let others learn at my their own pace right?
Hey there again :)
I just finished a part of my history project. A very small part considering the project is pretty packed but I guess I still hold some sort of pride over that little fact.
Life without swimming is very less-time consuming. Although I miss my friends, the lessons, and the experiences I get from this sport, I guess it was my time to go. I think swimming has impacted my life for the better. I don’t think I would be the same person that I am now if I had not gotten those life lessons.
Also the misconception that people make about swimming being not a sport really bothers me. For me, a sport is something physical that you do that involves both body, mind and in which you learn a way of living and self-discipline. A sport for me isn’t something in which you have to run fast, or be all “tough”. It’s not something that has to be “hard” or physically overwhelming. It just has to be something that trains both your body doing physical activities and mind focusing to work as one. This may be a vast definition, but the sports industry is also as vast.
So when someone tells me swimming isn’t a sport, I’d like to say: (after the furious spazzing in my head and a couple “then why don’t you come to my practices”) I would ask why isn’t it a sport. The answer I get most of the time? Because it’s “easy” or “all you do is move your arms and legs in water, the water basically carries you” That is THE MOST bull I’ve ever heard.If you think about it, any sport can be rationalized. Soccer is just kicking a ball in a net, volleyball is hitting a ball over a net, basket-ball is bouncing a ball and throwing it into a net.
The beauty of any professional athlete is to make it look easy and hide the torturous feeling. So I hope next time, when someone asks me this questions, they’ll put a little more thought into it.
Hiya,
I felt like blogging, but I didn't really have anything to blog about. So I figured i'd just do a "the making of" kind of post! So this was my first explored photo on flickr! I'm quite proud :3 I've had lots of questions of how it was made, so here it goes! ^_^
So this was the background. I guess I just brighten the colors and yeppers! I really liked this field :) It just looks so nice!
The original picture was actually like this! High-five position! Hurray :D Anyways I rotated this 90 degrees and made a copy and then flipped it so I would have two hands facing opposite ways. This came from the Monster frame self-shoot I did. I just took a bunch of silly pictures ^_^ It was fun.
So after a little brightening and hue saturation adjustments, there you have it! Earth support.
