So it's been a while...

Sorry it’s been such a while since my last entry, I’ll explain what’s been going on since my last one. Basically I’ve been off these last two weeks for Christmas break and I’ve been rather busy obviously due to celebrating the holidays and seeing the family, as well as going to work and balancing other work for my other subjects, I’ve hardlys had time to upload much. Another factor is, and I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this in other posts, that my laptop is pretty much broken and has gotten worse lately. It can be really slow a lot of the time, has terrible lag, and is terrible for overheating, even after an hour it becomes red hot and starts to burn up.  Plus the fact that my internet connection is also pretty bad, so getting online can be a chore, which is why I do all my blog posts in school and lessons. But despite this I have been hard at work making good on what I promised. I’ve been written several blog posts on my laptop in word, and have been working on all the other practical aspects of the project, the magazine, the digi-pack, adverts etc. Now obviously I havn’t uploaded any, because a lot of them have been designed on word or publisher because I don’t have photoshop (or publisher, ones I did on there were in school before I left for the break or going to places that had computers with the software) so I’m not sure how to go about uploading them, plus a lot of it is drawings and sketches so I have been without a scanner to scan them in and upload them, so a lot of that will have to wait till I go back. I’ve also done some more and rewritten some of my research to bulk it up a bit more. A final thing I have been doing is organising the filming that needs to be finished for the video itself as when I go back I have around 5 and half weeks (maybe longer, not entirely sure) to film it, edit it  to what I already have and upload the finished product. So a lot to do and a long way to go, despite having already done quite a lot.  Anyway today and tomorrow is all I have left of my break, then I’m back into school on Thursday, between now and then, over these next two days I’m going to upload as much as I can from what I have been working on as these are the only two days I have basically had to myself, so I’m using it to upload what I can. All I have is work today and then once that is over it’ll be all uploads and work. So stay tuned.

  1. Sorry you've had the problems you describe. You're correct in that you have until the end of this half term to complete both the video and the print products. Please let me know if you need any help to get on track.
