Getting Better....

Some more have sent me their first proposals.... thank you to those people.... but LOTS still haven't.  Grr.  I NEED THEM PRONTO!!!  I don't think you understand the severity of this part of your assignment.  If I don't approve what you want to do, I don't mark and you don't pass.  That simple.  That severe. 

Jane, I know you are frustrated.  Hang in there..... Ian, you are a pro at what Jane wants to do.  Please be a very supportive classmate and have a conversation with her, share you infamous knowledge.  ;)

Jinelle, thank you for your input.  I will do what I can.  I am thinking healing thoughts.  :)

The rest of you, I have had some awesome proposals from you.... I need a detailed plan for your "pre-production stage"  make sure you get that done... it is a working document, so it will change many times.  That is very normal.  It is expected. 

Remember, Check this everyday, those who are checking please remind those who are not.  EMAIL ME with proposals questions requests whatever!  I am quick to respond. 

Okay, Seriously....

Seriously?!

I got one proposal.  One.  ONE!!!  Not impressed.  I got bonus thoughts stirring for those who get them in by Wednesday..... what do you want...?  Cookies?  Marks?  Pizza?  Muffins?  Money?  Just kidding, money is not an option. 

I WANT THE PROPOSALS BY WEDNESDAY, MEANING THAT YOU WILL BE GETTING A REPLY BY WEDNESDAY.  I have my email sent to my phone, so I will get them right away and I can reply right away.  WITHIN THE HOUR OF CLASS!!!

You have got to get started, because once they take the computers away, you will not have the chance to work on this and hand it in late.... because I cannot mark it with out a computer. 

SO..... GET TO WORK!!!  If you have an idea, but don't know how to go at it, ASK!!!  I will help you figure that part out.  That is my jump... Making your dreams and ideas a reality.  (Corny sounding I know, very profound)  Seriously, just ask.

Have fun today.... and stay off FACEBOOK..... and don't be a pile of creeps.  ;)

CPT FINAL UPDATE

Okay, CPT, plans have changed a bit.  I won't be in school for a while... I am not to sure yet when I will be back, but that doesn't mean that I am not watching.  EVERYONE has to have their proposals to me by today.... something.... No one will be done today, but you have to have the building blocks to me.  I am going to try to run this through email.... so you email me your plan, I email back suggestions, or anything else you are needing or have maybe forgotten.  Please work with me on this one.... I don't to get to the end of this project and have someone left behind because they didn't play the game.  That also means that you have to be at class everyday, checking the blog and your email.  VERY IMPORTANT to do that DAILY until I get back. 

So I am expecting an email from everyone today:  amanda.burback@gmail.com

Hey CPT'ers,

Sorry I can't be there today.... I need to know if I am having twins!  Anyway, continue working on your picture portfolio... I am expecting a variety of pictures... so if you hand me in 20 pictures with the same effects, I will not mark them all.  You can hand in more than 20, I am okay with that.  Ian, Haley and Jasmine, you should be working on getting your commercial in today... I am marking them over the break. 

Mr. Wright, please do attendance on the attendance sheets on my blue binder, and on Maplewood.  These kids can be on facebook if all they are doing is getting pictures.  NOTHING ELSE!!!

Happy Easter and I will see you on the 12th!
