Recap Again

A bit has happened I haven't mentioned.

A few days ago, my family went to my dad's 30 or so mission reunion. His mission was to Veracruz, Mexico, and he served in places like Oaxaca (pronounced Wahaka) and Salina Cruz. Given most of the missionaries on his mission were from Mexico and there were few Americans, it wasn't the biggest reunion.

General Conference is today as well as yesterday. There was also the General Priesthood Meeting last night. Always interesting.

Remember when I mentioned I was first alternate for state debate forever ago? Not a single LDer dropped. Every Policy alternate was used, but none from LD. Oh well.

Matrix Science Fair came and passed. My group took second (honestly, the first place was NOT worth it, though). One of the judges was a novice debater, and he heavily petitioned for our victory, but he said we lost because solar storms aren't that big an issue. Excuse me when our ozone is incinerated and your cellphone breaks in 2012 (the next high in the solar cycle, convenient isn't it?).

I made a video synopsis of Great Expectations. (I won't post given it has credits with people's names plus live acting, and I am not selling their anymosity). Because of technical reasons, it is the project I spent the most on, spending 2 days filming, I stayed up till four in the morning animating, editing, etc., spent $40 on a program that didn't work which I didn't find out 6 hours later, downloaded a codec to convert some files so that I could use it in my favorite movie editor, Windows Movie Maker, and spent another 3 or so hours editing it. I also lost insane amounts of grief as everything before the codec bit occured before it was due, and everything else after. We ran out of time to present, so we were saved at the last minute, so I had endured a day of suffering for naught.

I can't honestly think of anything else major, though I will come out with a video soon for the Seminary Film Festival that the Seminary Teachers are holding.
