NOW I'm done

It was a horrible feeling when I woke up this morning and realized that my project STILL wasn't done. I had to rush to the computer lab around noon and hope that I remembered how to do everything that I learned yesterday about adding pictures correctly. And I had to make the title page...um yeah, there needs to be a title page. Can't forget that. Also, some of the pictures were repeats which is kind of bad, so I had to photograph some more of my artwork that I forgot about and left in the dingy basement, and replace the old photos with these new ones. Now I have a hypertext website with artwork and pictures about a day in the life of anyone. I realized that there is so much more I could do with it, like add links to the pictures or add more links in the text. But for the purpose of the class it is done.

Oops

I thought I was done with my project, until yesterday I realized that I forgot to add the title page. Oops. I guess I'll be going in to add that via Fetch, and THEN I'll be done.

File transfer nightmare

Last night I finished my project, yipee! After about four hours of complete hell. I messed around trying to upload my project onto my Ubalt webspace using Fetch, and completely failed, digging myself into a deeper hole than when I started. I had dozens of photos on my desktop and fragmented files where I tried unsuccessfully to put my project on the internet. My boyfriend showed up to pick me up around 7:30, told me how to fix the mess I made and watched while I reduced the size of every single picture. I was so embarrassed. I'm glad it's over now.

Shopping bewilderment

So I stuck to my goal of not going shopping for two months. It was hard. I got a gift certificate for my birthday for the bookstore, and I am completely overwhelmed as to what I should get. I spent some of it and got a couple of books and a nice coffee mug, and a puzzle (I haven't done a puzzle for AGES). But I don't know what to get with the rest of it. After you don't have extra money for a while it's terrifying when you do.
