I had to get a Brittney Spears lyrics in there..... Just kidding. Seriously though, I messed up with class AGAIN! Especially with PR Publications. This class is probably the easiest class to pass and I messed up! All we have to do is show and do our homework and work hard. How hard is it to do your best? It shouldn't be very hard, but I'm human so all will be righted and okay I suppose. So this past week I totally forgot to write my blog (this blog I am writing now is that blog). I also apparently didn't turn in my first week's blog, which I totally did, but in result my professor didn't count the assignment. I hope he makes an exception but if he doesn't, I suppose I understand; it is my fault after all.
Let's move on to what I learned this past week. Publications was really pretty fun. We have started to get into the new program InDesign which is extremely complicated and had me wanting to pull my hair out. I also discovered my laptop will not download InDesign. I discovered this while in class with everyone around me already working on their assignment. Needless to say, I had a mini panic-attack. Luckily for me, a student wasn't there so I hopped on her computer and worked on it. I actually ended up having to sell my old laptop and buy a new one. Anyways, InDesign is super cool other than not being compatible with my laptop. It is honestly very similar to photoshop but for designing stuff like advertisements and business cards.

Do you see how many buttons there are? We definitely didn't even learn a fraction of what those buttons mean. However, we did learn a lot of shortcuts which I don't remember whatsoever.
