I have Mrs.Listen-Lady for period E reading class. We are having a feild trip to Washington D.C in November. So for reading class our class was to get into groups and make a podcast about a monument or museum in the D.C. area.
My group of melers, and diano and I picked the Korea memorial. We worked for 3 hard days to find and research the memorial, get pictures, and turn a power point bibliography into a picture file.
Then after all that was done we could finally record our scipt on the podcast. We finished recording the class before it was due, all we had to do next class was edit and add music. We get to class the next day, open our computer and I plug my thumb drive in, on which i had saved the podcast, and open up the podcast on our computer. It was wrong! There were lines that were at the begining that should be in the middle and end.
So we tried to replace them and rerecord lines that had been lost. Of course we rocorded over the right lines! We did that in a bout 15 so we had 1 hour left to edit the rest of the podcast. So we tryed to play the podcast and it wouldn't work, no matter how many times we tried to fix it. We went back and forth between Mrs. Technopath. To no avil to get it to work, at the end of that charade we only had 30 minutes left in the class.
We found out we had to completely redo it or we would fail the project! We recorded as fast as we could, but during that process our teacher took the rest of the class back to the class room leaving us in the media center. We finished recording with minutes to spare so I threw music in listen to the whole thing and finally turned it in!
We got back to class to find out if we haden't finished the podcast we would have passed any way because it was a problem with the computer and not with us.
Oh well quiters never prosper right?

I so feel for you! Congrats on getting it done though. That often means more to the teachers - that you worked so hard to complete the assignment.
Sounds like life is okay for you. Have toask though - what happened with the sick lacrosse tryouts?
