Today

^ Thanks for the advice.
I looked at a Fujifilm FinePix AX250 and Kodak Easyshare C195.
I'm thinking the Fuji because:
- I've used Fujifilm cameras before and they are really reliable.
- It's 14 Mega pixels.
- It's small and compact, I don't want something big and bulky to take out with me.
- It does Panorama Mode, I don't like it because of that specifically, It's handy it has that because I take panorama shots.
- 5X wide optical zoom.

I looked at the Kodak because:
- It has a one-touch upload button to Facebook.
- It's also 14 Mega pixels.
- 5X optical zoom.
- Got a massive 3" screen on the back.

I decided to go with the Fujifilm. It was half price, so I'm not complaining .

@Josh, wait till you're 15/16, then you'll understand why snow is so amazing. As I'm typing, it is coming down bad (y)

Also, I sorted thigs with Abbie out, amazing how one post on Facebook can get things back to normal, been texting each other alot. Now I'm really happy, finally everything is coming together for me.

Monday. College all day, with some VF in the middle.

Hmmm, sounds fun...
Was thinking about my options when I leave school in like, 6/7 months, apparently I should take a course in Photography.
Tonight I'm going out to look at digital cameras. Lol

Before you even look at a real camera, research them all thoroughly. Identify what type of photos you'll be taking and in what conditions as that's a major factor in choosing. Are you sure a Digital Camera is the correct choice - maybe some other type is more appropriate. Consider what attachments you'll need (telephoto lens, IR lens, remote controls, timers, lighting/flash options...) as this may change the overall cost enough that you need to reconsider how much you spend on the camera itself. Check out all the reviews and brands online - try searching "Digital Camera Reviews" or just "Digital Cameras"). Find a Photography forum or two and check them out for ideas and opinions. You don't want to fall in love with one at the first place you visit and regret buying it later when you find it isn't what you thought or is missing features you want/need or can't handle attachments you require or cost more than you could have done by shopping.

To be honest, you should probably take and COMPLETE the course in Photography before you buy a camera (but I guess you need something for the course - I'd try to borrow one in the meantime).

Anyway, just some thoughts to consider.

Whatever you decide on doing, photography or not, make sure it's something you love to do.

I'm just getting my general education credits to transfer to a bigger college for a better degree, but moreover, I'm doing it to allow myself more time to figure out exactly what I want to do. I know I don't want to get stuck doing something I don't like, but there's just so many things I want to do it feels like I can find a real route. Plus I have never really found one thing I am REALLY good at... it had always felt like I've been good at many things, but never had a real distinguished talent. I don't know, this is basically what I think about and dwell on everyday...

^ The same with me, photography was just a thought, I've applied for Aircraft Maintenance and Air conditioning + refrigeration.

Today,
It's snowed, like, alot!
I'm hoping the school's shut, snow's a lifesaver on a day when you have to start coursework and you don't have a clue about it.

Never had the experience, or the opportunity to use snow in such a way! lol.

I went to school in the end, only about 25 turned up out of 67-ish students. It was an okay day actually. We could do whatever subject we wanted. It was only a half day.

Also, you're getting close to the 1500 posts!

 

[niemiro]

You only have 67 students (in your year?)?

 

[Smurfyy]

Yeah, we are the only year in the school *FPS* (take away the CVS year 7's, but they weren't in either).
So yeah, you could say that we are the school.

I've always had at least 300+ kids in my classes throughout my school years.

And yes, I am getting close.

Today, Tuesday, will consist of a lot of walking... OH, good news though, I succefully set up a schedule allowing me to get my license back on Monday December 20th! :D So I am very happy. But yeah, today will consist of a lot of walking due to no car, lol, but I have started to enjoy it actually. So that's alright. Walking and college, tht's pretty much it, along with some VF.

 

[Smurfyy]

Oh nice one!
I just came home from being out in the snow for a while.
Note to self: Next time wear proper gloves, not fingerless gloves. Lol.

Just made myself some dinner. When I've eaten that I think I'm gunna jump into bed, it's so cold!

What did you do to get that speed? Disable the disc drive starting? Remove everything from msconfig, auto login. But surely you can't get it that low

 

[Shadowjk]

I disabled Or 3p Software from Starting up and set some of the Services like the ones you use to log on to a Company Networks To Manual and Then Defragged and Cleaned my Disk I also Enabled Caching for my Disk Drive But it was worth it

Snow down here. School closed at 12:30, and mother picked me up just after (like a few minutes after) Got home at 7:30. 7 hours in the car! My mother is an AMAZING driver. We could have managed, with a really good 4x4, snow chains, Mud and Snow tires, a powered winch, and various towlines. Different lengths, different springiness, all for different conditions etc. Just gridlock and accident after blockage after anything!

Fed up!

Today I've been trying to play World of Warcraft, & my kitten keeps walking all over my laptop, pressing keys, it's quite funny.

Sounds like fun, seven hours in the car in the snow... I don't know about that one. lol.

I'd have to have an iPod with some movies on it or I'd likely be asleep the whole time.

Long day again, nothing new. Oh, except for our first bit of snow.
