Tis over!

Just like that my post-secondary education has come crashing to an end.
I'll be adding to my thoughts on being completed, and apparently ready to face the big, bad world of videography journalism, because right now, I'm still in a state of shock over it.
All of it. I wasn't prepared for such a drastic difference between print and broadcast journalism. True, the net allows both to coincide, except both print and broadcast corporations don't recognize it yet.
I still love print journalism, and I very much enjoy editing, and piecing together stories with video, but I don't feel videography journalism is my future. If it is, it's so far in the future, I can't see it yet.
I will miss the editing equipment, on which to make such stories, for sure.

After completing a documentary on burlesque, I was given an assignment to test my skills in Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator.
Rough, I know, but I think there's potential.
Choosing the subject of burlesque was certainly a good choice for me. Bawdy humour and bold sexuality was something I think the world needs a little bit more of.
Editing was something I looked forward to, lighthearted and I learned a lot about the girls.
As for the editing software, once I got the hang of where to find commands, and the quick keys, I started to enjoy the arduousness of creating interesting effects on video, or Photoshop creations.
I've informed the "fam" that owning such software would be an EXCELLENT graduation gift! haha
The multi-media essentials class was my biggest battle, but also the class in which I learned the most. I thought After Effects would be the death of me, but I was wrong.
I'm glad there was extra support for the squeaky wheel named Alex.
