Photo Edits

March 30th

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes, I completed the scavenger hunt at school, I got a lot of pictures that matched the checklist given. I did take a few more at home though that I thought would be better.They weren't very hard to take, they just might not be very good.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I really don't know very much about photography or photo editing. I take a lot of pictures but they are always on  my cell phone and I don't necessarily take much time to do editing other than adding a filter or something. I don't have an immediate interest in photography or serious photo editing, I rather like to take pictures in a moment and remember them the way they were taken. I do understand why people enjoy it so much, I just don't find it as thrilling.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

Spring Break was pretty crazy, I went to Mexico with most of the seniors and had the time of my life. Each day was super relaxing and the weather was great the entire trip. The resort we stayed at was pretty nice and the service was good too. We met up with some other schools while down there too which was fun. A small group of us got the opportunity to go to a club in downtown Cancun called Coco Bongo and it was possibly the best night of my life. Mexico sure didn't disappoint and was worth all the money I payed.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

For spring break I am going to Mexico with some of my friends in the senior class. We are going to Cancun and staying at a resort on Playa del Carmen. I'm there for seven days and am excited considering I payed for the whole trip myself so I'm looking to forward to seeing what I dropped all this money on. I can't wait to spend this break with some of my closest friends.

Tell me about your weekend.

On Friday I went to a friends house and spent most of the night there, which was a lot of fun and very refreshing. Saturday the weather was great so I went to the gym and did half my workout inside and half outside. I then took my dog to the park and spent the rest of my day relaxing. Sunday I caught up on some sleep and got some homework done.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

I would give more freedom to seniors. I have friends at other schools in the district and at their schools, if you're 18 you can sign yourself out as excused. At our school you can sign yourself out at 18 but it's counted as unexcused. Most of us over the age of 18 would know how to handle a rule like that without taking advantage of it and be aware of the consequences as well. Parents still get the email that you've signed out, so I don't understand the mistrust in senior students when most would be able to handle the freedom.

In order to have a good presentation:

3. Try not to over talk on one slide.
4. Don't try to fit too much in on one slide.
5. Do your best to make eye contact with your audience.
6. If you aren't as comfortable with presenting, go over notes first and over prepare.
7. Introduce yourself when you first get up you your presenting area.
8. Always end a presentation saying thank you before you leave the presentation area.

This weekend was pretty low-key. I went out on Friday with some friends and then spent the night at their place. Saturday I got to the gym before the weather got too bad and then decided to spend the night at home. Sunday I got in a good workout, did some shopping, and finished all my homework.
