Right when I thought things in my life were going to calm down, they simply pick right up again. Now that the musical is over, I have to concentrate on deciding what college I will be going to next year. I am really feeling stressed when it comes to finishing my research paper. I have taken all of my notes and I have done both of my interviews but now I have to actually put the pieces together to come up with an essay. Along with doing the research paper for this class, I also have to finish my community service paper for my government class. The paper for my government class is due the day after our research paper. Along with needing to finish both of these papers, I will be gone for spring break. I do plan on taking my lap top with me to Mexico to work on my papers, but I might have some trouble concentrating while I am there.
I have decided to interview my cousin who was one of the photographers in the White House while President George W. Bush was in office. I am really glad to have all of the notes and the interviews out of the way. I have already written about two pages of my essay. I feel like my essay is going to be very long because there is so much to say about the topic of photography. There is so much history behind everything.
I have also been taking a lot of photos. I am starting to pick out the best ones and chose which ones I will show in a slide show during my presentation in May. I know that originally, I was going to edit my photos using photo shop, but I have become a lot more interesting in the different techniques and the different lenses I can use. I have also been using different light filters on my lenses to see the different effect they can give. My favorite lens of mine is my fish eye lens because of the way it makes the curve of the photo look.

March 9th
I have realised that I am a little behind in my project, but I am starting to catch up. I have started to write my rough draft of my essay. The essay is a lot harder than I thought. I have no much information and I somehow have to put it into an essay with correct grammar. I have both of my interviews set up and hopefully I can fit those into my essay also.
For the photography part of my project, I have started to take a lot more photos. I have been keeping my camera with me in my car at all times. Today when I was driving, I saw a fence that I really liked so I pulled over just to take photos of it. If I had not had my camera with me, I probably would have never gotten the photo. I have also been using my fish eye camera lens a lot. It is fun to use because it gives a shape to the photos.
I am starting to learn how hard it is to get the shot that you want. I had to sit in the mud to get a picture of a lady bug and every time I moved to take the photo, the lady bug would move to the other side of the piece of grass that it was on.
