Week 21

SO. This will most likely be my last post for about two weeks as I am going away to Japan! YAY!

ITM. Got my mark back and ended up getting tied first! I am very happy with that!
So this week I have been slowly working on another product range page. I have really been focusing on my Folio as a part of it is due second week back to school.

DRAMA is going REALLY good. I now know all of my lines! And had a few lessons doing it with my teacher, she said it is going really well!! I have decided to wear high heels as it suits my character and Miss said it would work well.

ART. BLER... I know that I will be working with fake flowers or something like that. My latest idea involved flower boxes in front of a house thingo. It wouldnt be a whole house. Just the front. And you shine the light onto the boxes and the words appear. YEAH, Ill have to keep working at it. Hopefully Japan will give me inspiration.

Happy HSCing.

Week 20

Well. Half way. ish.

ITM has had good progress. I played around with different features. I have done most of the contact page, and Have started on my products page. I scraped the shop with the shopping cart due to the fact that you really do need a server and the internet. In which, the internet will not be provided for marking.
Just for future reference, sir suggested a blog style page thingo.
I have been really doing each page bit by bit; do a little bit on one, then a little bit on another. That way I don't finish a page and realise I have to change it because something doesn't work on other etc. If that was understandable. I think it is coming along nicely. AND as sir said, they don't really mark because its good design, its more about what you learnt and WHAT it does.

DRAMA is good. I got my marks back for my exam and I was not happy at all, but oh well. Not much I can do about it now. I have actually signed up for this thing called User Based Casting. Im not exactly too sure what it is, but I have seen that you post monologues for a book, perform them and you get some constructive criticism back. I thought it was a good idea to help expand my acting skills. Its also going to do one of my favourite book, Uglies series. It would be such a dream, and so cool to play one of the main characters. 

I have not really been going through my monologue. I'm trying to get everything done before I go to Japan in a week and a bit. 

ART is better than what it was. I had a talk with Miss and she gave me a few Ideas to work on. So far, I'm still running with shadow art. 

Happy HSCing. 

Just Testing

A new app on the school's iPads.

I think it works...

Week 19

Well, well, well. Exams were on this week. So this post will just be about how I felt I went in the exams.

ITM exam was really good. Although, it was pretty much all questions from past papers. Luckily I did quite a few past papers! I FLEW through multiple choice, I honestly thought I took 2 minutes max. I ended up having a whole hour for the long response so I took my time and wrote as much as I could. I think I ended up writing three or more pages!! WHAT!?! I know. I had to laugh at myself.

DRAMA was too rushed!! There was not enough time whatsoever! We had to write two essays with a minimum of 6 pages per essay. That gives 15min per page. Not even taking into consideration planning time or even picking up the pen and writing your number! So we had 3 plays prepared, one play was meant to be in it but we hadnt finished it. SO I ended up writing 6 pages for the first essay, and 3 for the second. I had absolutely nothing left to write. But then I thought, if I had the other play, i would be able to write the 6 pages, if time allowed me.
Don't you love this costume design??? Yes, Hunger games comes out this week!

ART was really good. I thought I did really well. My teacher came up to me the day after and said I got an A for the first part and a B for the second!!

Just a little inspiration.

Its funny, the rest of my Backyard looks like a pigsty (thanks to the dogs!), and yet there is this little gorgeous bush of flowers. To me they look like ballerinas. 

week 18

Exams start this week, well, they started yesterday. So that means, not much progress.

ITM. I have done a bit of my folio. I actually found the notes from the marking centre and I am going to make sure my folio does what they say the better folios did. Other than that, not really much.

DRAMA. Practising.

ART. I have fallen off the artistic train.
Although, i made a small sculpture exploring different ways to cast shadow. Got to continue.

Congrats to my teacher getting married tomorrow!! God bless!

Yeah, happy HSCing

Week 17

Fridays are quite a busy day. Well, dancing wise.

ITM has had some great progress. I got some simple HTML of the website in the previous post in order to create a competition page. It now has working text boxes!!! HOWEVER, due to the fact that we aren't allowed to have any internet access, i had to make it just LOOK like it had sent the information. So, im not sure how I can do the shopping cart and all that. I do have a contact in which i could get someone to help me do it. But I would imagine that for the shop to contact databases, it would possibly need internet. OR I may need to put the database with the internet file. I guess this is another researching thing.
It would be awesome if I could get both working properly. When its on display I could see what was being 'bought', haha.
I also modified the site. I figured out how to make the background a whole picture, so now no matter what the size of the window, it will be filled.
I think its coming along together nicely!

DRAMA is going really well. I had a few practises with my teacher and she helped me with a few ideas and ways of acting out a few of the parts. I have found that there are some tricky parts. But its going along nicely as well.

ART is not really going. Well, not ideas anyway. I have just been exploring different ways of creating shadow. 

Exams this week. Wish me luck!
