Forgot that I needed to buy a DSLR camera for my digital photography class. So now I’m trying to find a camera that’s decently priced but damn are they expensive. Ooo I definitely want a DSLR, maybe at some point. Should share some of your photography!
I'm probably going to go with a Canon EOS Rebel T7. I also found a Nikon COOLPIX B500, but the more I read about it, the less I like it. The issue is price though :/ the Canon's $400, and the Nikon's $260. I'll try and share! I've never used a DSLR in my life so I'm hoping that my projects will turn out okay.

I just finished my first exam, took me far too long but the open book style is very chill for doing exams. Had tea and watched TV half way through it, then had some dinner. Would recommend this exam style, very relaxing. Do you have tips for focusing on homework? How I do homework is I look at it the day I get it, I then think about it for a couple days, then I can sit down and complete it having thought about it for the few days. In terms of focusing on it I recommend not listening to anything at the same time, and being away from speech as it's hard to concentrate with words around.

I have decided to get a DSLR after exams, probably quite an expensive one.

I have decided to get a DSLR after exams, probably quite an expensive one. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T6. I feel like absolute shit after taking photos last night. We had to do portrait headshots and I’m really upset with the way mine turned out but they were due last night so :/ they look terrible and I know I could have done better but I didn’t. One of my classmate is a professional photographer and when he posted his made me feel worthless. Still wanna crawl in a hole and die right now.

so my history professor structures his exams as essays, where he gives us a certain number of prompts ahead of time some of which are on the test and then we choose a few to write on.
this time, he gave us the prompt handout, and it clearly said that of the three prompts, TWO would be on the test (we don't know which) and we only have to answer ONE. so obviously the most efficient way to study is to pick the two i knew best and study those specifically. keep in mind this is the same professor who pretty much didn't teach the second half of the semester once we went online, he just posted lecture notes once a month. and im pretty sure that's the way he suggested we study, too.
i open the final. he gave us two prompts and we had to answer BOTH of them. one of them was the prompt i didn't study at all. because, y'know, i wasn't expecting that at all.
i tried emailing him, calling him, ended up just writing down the other essay i studied that wasn't on the test because it was HIS FAULT for not giving the correct study instructions. i made a note about it on the test itself. i said, please let me know if this suffices or if we can work something else out.
it's been three days and still no response, so. my history grade is probably getting absolutely screwed over.

Oof. I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like bad instruction giving all around. Sorry that's been your experience!

It was actually posted on the primary sources link list from my online class. Otherwise I would have credited. But apparently it's a primary source of the time.

My history book is falling apart under my fingers. And I've had the Liberty Kid's theme song off and on in my head. Guess what part of American History I'm reading about?

American history is not anything I liked learning at all. I’m very glad I don’t remember much, if any of it. I’m tired and drained. I just want school to be over because there’s so much drama with my mom’s family and I can’t focus. My portfolio is probably not at its best right now.

Good luck, Sandypaw! We're here for you if you need it! Also, I feel Sand. I have 0 motivation for school. Email professor about getting extra time on the quiz again. Getting my "time and a half" on quizzes is really hard right now. But the professor is really nice and I appreciate the efforts they're putting in.

You'll do well, Sandypaw!
I'm so glad school ends in 2.5 weeks for me. It's good to hear your professor is giving you extra time, it's a lot easier when you have it.
