Learning new Things

Today I was stumbling around the internet and found a website with really interesting tilt shift videos. Lately also T-Mobile was doing adverts with this technique and I found them pretty amazing, but I didn't know what the technique was called. Now that I knew I was searching a little bit on the internet and found some tutorials, how to edit static pictures in order to get this effect. This by the way is then called Miniature faking. Here are my first attempts:

I think they are ok for the first time. The problem really is, that you have to have the right distance and height for these pictures. I was trying pictures, which were taken from airplanes in like some few hundred meters, but it didn't really work. Other pictures from rooftops were too close to the ground. It's complicated!

Anyways, this was basically what I did this afternoon. In the morning I were in uni, had a presentation and printed out my text for my Swedish presentation. Otherwise there is not a lot to tell. I am so far fine, looking forward to my parents visiting me and looking forward to summer.

I still didn't get any responses from the hotels I was sending applications to, but at least I am not the only one struggling to get a placement. I mean, it's not nice, neither for me, nor for the others, but at least I know that it is not me, but the hotel industry, that is making it complicated!

Now I will go on doing something, but I am not quite sure what it will be!

Loads to do

This was a long day in uni. I was there from 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. The last course I had brought bad news. It was the first and only meeting with this lecturer and now we have a huge project to do, which is even more annoying, since we are already halfway-through with the period. But it's always the same with this guy; I had one course with him before and he put all instructions for the assignments online like three weeks before the end and also just after us going to the department head. Anyways, it's like this, I have to take the course, since it's mandatory from my uni and can't do anything about it.

I am now in the 4th phase of sending applications for my internship. New destination is Mauritius, which A. and I chose randomly from the world map. I hope that it will work this time and that I don't get anymore rejections, since it is pretty depressing in a way. I reckon this issue about the internship is occupying my sub-consciousness all the time and makes me feel weird and unbalanced.

Anyways, I will go to the shop now and hope I get some bread, which I can put into the freezer. The food producers will strike in the next days and it is predicted that there will be no bread and other stuff available. After the shop I will relax a bit and later go to the sauna to relax even more. I hope this helps me to take everything a little bit easier!
