Subject: senior project
We're working on these senior project videos where we interview teachers, show what we want to do after we graduate, reflect on our k-12 grade years pretty much. We were supposed to invite 2 teachers, an administrator, and a family member. We would present our videos that should be about 14 minutes in length and then an 8 minute presentation after that. It's new class this year and only lasts one trimester. Come to find out, we don't have to present it to anyone anymore. All that hard work and we don't get to show anyone. Only those we choose to show once we get our dvds. I really think it should've been a 2 trimester class where no one was feeling like they were crunched on time. I had so many problems with my video it was driving me crazy.

We came to the conclusion that we needed to save everything to the share drive. Well, that was getting backed up and our videos we had put on the computers were going slow. So then we put all of our stuff from the share drive onto our C drive. That seemed to make our videos run smoother. Then it came time to transfer all of our stuff back over to the share drive for burning. I did that and all of my stuff was lost. So I then had to locate EVERY file one at a time. That took about half the class. At first I thought I had lost everything until the school's tech guy came in and saved the day. But with all these snow days and the classes lasting shorter because of trimesters, it was pretty intense. I guess I should be thankful that I'm not presenting my video. But with everything I worked on, I feel like it was for nothing.

Wow... I'm pretty sure my brain didn't comprehend much of that. I got the part that you spent a lot of time doing something with the intent of presenting it, and then you didn't get to present it so it was like "blah, watch me waste a ton of time and effort, only to let it sit and collect dust"
I would Not enjoy making a 14 minute dvd thing though. Kudos to you for doing it.

lol. Yea. It's pretty complicated at first. Once I started working on it, it was pretty easy. It's just that all of our computers were screwing up and going really slow and they all kept crashing. That was frustrating.
