Was so stressed this morning that I ended up waking up at 5 am this morning. I'm so not a morning person so waking up that early tells you something. Was stressed because of my Photography class. I didn't know what to do about the assignment we were suppose to have for class that day. We had to have a photo that was properly exposed and then a picture where we blurred or stopped an action. Well the latter was easy to do but properly exposed? How am I suppose to know if a photo is properly exposed?! I don't think it was in my reading anywhere or anything... After I took a shower Mom came upstairs and said she had been talking to Alex and that they thing since it's a 6-week class that I'm already behind(because I wouldn't have a camera for today's class either) and should drop the class. Also today was the last day to drop and add a class for the 6-week courses for a full refund. So I dropped it.
English was basically the same besides that we have a paper due next Wednesday. Well, a rough-draft but it has to be complete. Kind of sucks because I feel like this is way over my head and I don't know how to analyze the text we're suppose to read! I hope everything will be ok...

Whooop! Today was my first day of College! Here's my schedule:
9:00 am-12:40 pm Basic Photography
1:00 pm-2:50 pm English 111
So I got up to Mid half and hour early to be able to find my classes and if I got lost still have time to spare (I know I'm a loser, haha). I'm thankful that finding a parking spot was easy because class is so early in the morning. I found my two classes and waited around until I seen other people going into class. I felt kind of weird because I didn't really know the atmosphere of college life, such as asking if you can leave to go to the bathroom or something, haha.
In Photography I guess we were suppose to of got an email from the teacher but I didn't? I don't know.. so I felt kind of dumb because all the people in that class had cameras that were better than mine. I guess you were suppose to have a camera that would let you be able to manually control it, well mine is just a point-and-shoot. I asked the professor and he said that I'd either have to borrow one from someone I know or I could use his during class. Well I didn't want to do the latter one, and I don't know anyone who has a camera that allows you to manually handle it. Also he assigned us an assignment that you had to be able to do that sort of stuff so I don't know what I'm going to do. Ended up calling Uncle Tom and asked what he thought about which cameras are good and all that since hes good with them. He suggested a Nikon D40 or D60. Walmart had a D40 in stock and so we thought about just buying it and ordering one online so that I still had a camera to work with at school but could take back once the other one comes in. We just ended up ordering a D60 from Walmart and got one day shipping so that it would come as fast as possible. I planned on getting a nice camera anyways...but I thought that he would have some for us to use since its basic photography, instead of just rushing into buying one. Leaving the class I felt kind of stressed because it was as though I should of had a camera and kind of already known how to use it some, but I didn't know anything or any terms about photography!
We ended up getting out early so instead of having 20 minutes for lunch I had about 40 which was nice. I had a delicious(not) PB&J and some chips with a granola I didn't eat because I was still kind of nervous for my English class. It turned out pretty well actually, my professor seems nice and explained some of the things people were worried about that they heard about the class. In order to get credit for the class I have to write a portfolio(paper) that gets read by some people in the English department that determines if it passes. If it doesn't I have the chance to get it looked again after I correct it. Hopefully it passes the first time so I don't have to worry about it!
