Frustration Station

Let me just say that I like technology when it works. Let me stress that- WHEN it works. Right now I am taking a break from a simple class project to vent. We were supposed to make a photo story (a slide show ). Easy. I found the pictures I wanted, put in the text that I found fitting, even added transitions. Then the program decided that it would not take the songs that I had expertly picked for background music. I tried downloading a new song, changing the song to an mp3 (which is what photo story said it required) and finally gave up in frustration. I shall now wait for my instructor to come and see if she can figure it out. ugh. This stinks.

On a happier note, I received a package from one of my dear friends attending another college. It totally made my day as a whole AMAZING!

Later Days,

Drizzle

Today is a dreary day. I woke up later than usual because my room was so dark. The clouds are sharing their gloom with the world today. Do not misunderstand me, I enjoy days like these- they make great reading days. The gloom is good for any sad story or melancholy spirit. It was misting the whole way to school and I listened to Michael Buble croon out "Cry Me a River" on my way. It was splendid. The only unhappy part about today is that it is my long day at school. This means that I cannot go home and drink hot cocoa and read or write as I so wish to be doing. So I will take a tiny break to write here, in a an unusually still computer lab. I love how days like these tend to calm people down, at least for a little while. An riotous room can be hushed by band of rain clouds. That is the magic of a dreary day.

Anyway, I should get back to work.

Later Days,
