In today's lesson we were required to deliver the completed project to our Information Technology teacher. Nevertheless, I was not capable of completing the entire project until this moment, for today I also experienced a technical difficulty in Promotional CD document, which was that apparently the last page of my document (that incorporated the video and several pictures relating to the theme) was deleted. With this problem in consideration, I delayed the progress of my evaluation section, and will therefore need to hand this is following to the Easter break. For these reasons, today I did not work very thoroughly. Since this is the Technology lesson, I must say that I enjoyed both projects, being that both considered quite different ideas, however relating in the area of the merchangiszig of the product.

However unfortunate, regading that today would be one of the last lessons for the completion of the Promotional CD Project, and would be a very benefitial lesson, today Senior School had an activity day - which meant that we were not capable of attending our second last Information Technology lesson. This signifies that more work will be required to do at home (which be a hard process, considering the amount of homework set for this week), as well very rapid work to be done in school on Wednesday.

As a matter of fact, today's lesson was extremely productive, because I was able to figure out various technical aspects regarding my Promotional CD, which I had not yet considered. This was done together with a colleague that was present in this class, who faced similar issues when concerning the running of the slides in movie form. In today's lesson I was able to incorporate a video, removed from YOUTUBE, comprising the song "We Are The World", featuring Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. In included this video successfully in the last page of my Promotional CD, that has the theme of how the Olympic Games may unite the many nations. From my perception I worked very well today, for I tried to solve some dilemmas that I had been facing previously, and with many trials, was finally able to achieve my intended results. Unfortunately, I have not been yet capable of commencing my evaluation, particularly for the fact that I had not yet completed my Promotional CD (and will not be able to). Thus, my aim for next lesson (Wednesday - for Monday is a Senior School Activity Day), is to complete my evaluation by working dilligently and thoroughly. Today my teacher was not capable of being present in class, for my teacher was required for professional matters, therefore, on Wednesday I will have my last oppurtinity to consult her for further improvements on my project, as well as extra suggestions.

Unfortunately, today's lesson was not very productive, since I faced a series of complications regarding the technical aspects of the promotional CD. Since the due date of the project is coming up soon, the fact that even the base my promotional CD is not entirely completed is beggining to become a worrying fact. Individually (not in class period), it will be of utmost necessity that I make a well-on advance on the project because, moreover, I have the evaluation section for completion. Nonetheless, on the positive side, a classmate of mine, which is very familiar with the programs being used, volunteered to get me a free 30-day trial version of Macromedia Flash that I may download at home. I use this oppurtinity to thank his act of kindness. Next lesson, I must try to face problems more rationally, so that I do not waste time unnecissariyl. Despite all the problems that I encountered today, I believe that I was fully concentrated in my task, not once talking to a classmate concerning personal or social matters.
