Oh Nuts

Well we are eight weeks into the second half of the school year and so far it has been going well for me. All of my classes are very interesting and I am enjoying them so far. So far I have had two tests, multiple quizzes and discussion boards. The classes that I am taking this semester are Desktop Publishing , which is fun, Intro to Visual Arts , and Advanced Microsoft Office . In my Desktop Publishing class we are learning hoe to create certificates, newsletters and flyers. I find this class to be a lot of fun and pretty easy. On the first day of class we learned to how to add pictures, watermarks, and similar fonts and colors to a document so that they stand out and don't look boring. Intro to Visual Arts is a really interesting class, because we are learning about how art is influenced by the culture and time period when and where it was created. We are also getting a brief introduction into a lot of the materials that are used in the creation of art. The homework for ...

 As you can probably see from my word counter for NaNoWriMo , I am not doing that well in my writing. The reason for that is because I have run out of steam and writing ideas for my work in progress. I have also been doing research for a persuasive speech that I have to give next week on Thursday. But today/yesterday/whatever you want to call it, I found two writing prompts on Pinterest, what else is new, that started giving me ideas. Whether or not I use them to finish NaNo this year or not is another story. Even if I don't get around to finishing NaNo this year I can still try to work on my story the rest of the year.

In the spring I am taking a psychology 101 class, Microsoft Word II and a third document formatting class. The psychology class sounds like it will be really interesting. The other two classes that I am taking in the spring are continua...

This post only has to do with the last thing mentioned in the title. But that is besides the point. Anyhow, I decided to rant a little, because I need to do it right now. Since the beginning of the summer I have been having a bit of trouble with my car. The first round of problems were on the minor side and easy to fix. The second time my car had to get taken in to get fixed it was because it started shaking. We had taken it in to get it fixed, but the problem hadn't been addressed then. Before it got taken in to get fixed the second time, it stopped working on me while I was driving it. After that it got taken in and the problem actually got fixed. Now, for the past week or so, the car has been making grinding related noises. Since I am off today and tomorrow we took it in once I was out of class to get the problem fixed. Hopefully this fixes all of the problems for good. For the past few weeks the bottom of my computer has been heating up rather fast. Since it starte...
