Week 8 I can’t believe it. Sometimes it seems like the semester has flown by and then there are others that I think “will it ever end.” Over all I would say this has been a good semester.

Working on my brochure has been a learning experience. I have learned that not all font transfers with clarity. I began drafting my brochure genre on Wednesday night and then I was ready to begin the design on Thursday. I worked on my design until 1:00 a.m Friday morning. Got in the bed around 1:30 good thing my Friday classes are late classes. First time I posted it, my brochure was turned so that it would print out in a tri-fold design. Well that’s great if you are actually printing it out but when I copied it over to windows and then into antville you had to turn your head at an angle to read it. That’s a killer (literally if you want a bad neck). I also had problems getting my link to work maybe it was because I was exhausted by then and I am no good when I’m that tired. Friday morning I printed off instructions from Ms. McComas and that worked but I didn’t have time to really look over my brochure in antville. Saturday afternoon I checked my brochure and realized “I can’t read it.” Great and wonderful I thought I should never do anything in a hurry. Allison also had commented the same thing “I can’t read it.” So I went back to my original project and worked on changing the font type and this took some time. I ended up with the bold comic sans as it showed up better than anything else. So as I wrote in my comment section “Third time’s a charm” which seems to be true for me. Sometime I wonder why I always seem to make everything so hard for myself or is it that I’m just lucky. Enough of my pity party. I’m just so….relieved that I finally got it right.

I don’t understand, anytime I do something for one of my CD classes I work twice as hard compared to all my other classes and hardly ever get it right the first or second time. Maybe I’m trying to hard, I don’t know.

Aim and objectives: begin making a rough draft of my powerpoint presentation. I’m thinking about including some info about taste buds/brain connection if I can find anything. I plan on finishing my journal and hopefully reviewing Cindy’s genre and I’ll be finished for week 8 and ready to being week 9.

Finally, third time is a charm or so they say. This is the correct brochure. I'll have to ask Ms. McComas how to get rid of those other two.

Thanks for overlooking my boo boo's,
