MIA-- Two weeks in a row

Put bluntly: I am a slacker.

I finally did my first real interviews today with Catie and Brian. I was really, really nervous, but it was pretty fun. Catie was a little difficult to talk to, she spoke very quietly and didn't seem to want to give me much information, I really had to pry stuff out of her. I think she was picking up on my nervousness though. I learned a lot of things about her though that I probably never would have guessed. She referred to herself as a bit of a daredevil, and when she did she got a very scheming look on her face.

Brian, on the other hand, was so, so, so chatty. He's very smart and totally blew me away. He's twelve or thirteen I think (He just started middle school), wants to be a pilot and spent about twenty minutes telling me about how he flew airplanes at summer camp last year. He also had to explain to me what a G-force is and was rattling off the mathematical formula like it was his phone number. I haven't edited either of my interviews yet, I'll save that for another (less stressful) day.

Learning to use Movie Maker in our last class was pretty fun, but once again, frustrating. I'm definitely not the most computer savvy person out there, and when I don't pick up on something right away, I get really, really annoyed. Once again: A personal flaw that I'll need to learn to deal with. I can't really remember all of what Sandy wanted us to write about, so I guess I'm all done for now. I wanted to go to bed early tonight since I had a wicked long weekend, but it's 11:30 and I can't sleep. This is going to be like the Friends episode, "The one where they're up all night".

Is anyone going to Pumpkin Fest this weekend???
