birthday picture (yes I have wet hair)

Yesterday was mainly taken up with going to class from 10-5 in Gwinnett County. Laura arrived a little before 10 and she and I waited for Sean, who drove and was about 15 minutes late getting here. He had to get gas...

Class was mainly enjoyable, did not seem to drag on. Editing is one of those things you can spend hours on without noticing. I will say I am not a natural at it...so don't expect greatness any time soon. There are definite jumps in my 30 second video of a classmate buying a Coke. I do sometimes think to myself, I could teach this better...The professor's native language is not English, although he is probably brilliant and a lovely person. He brought in a real-life video editor from the College of Education, whose English was fine and he was clearly knowledgeable. He taught us about lighting and audio. He also demonstrated how to use the editing software, but I am not using their computers and their software. I am using iMovie on my Mac. There are a couple other people who are as well and fortunately they know a little bit about it. Clearly, if I want to spend hours fooling around with it, I can learn a lot.
