Unfortunate timing...

     Hi blog, this spring break has given me a lot of unexpected twists and turns, so I thought it would be best to explain in a post today.

    With the due date of the project approaching rapidly, I was planning on working diligently in the beginning days of this week to complete editing and create my CCRs. Unfortunately, I started feeling really sick on Tuesday and had almost completely lost my voice. I was speaking with a lot of struggle, and many words coming out no louder than a whisper. Come Wednesday and I went to see my doctor, and I was diagnosed with strep throat. I have since been taking my medicine and it isn't anything major, I've just really been struggling with trying to recover my voice. 

    Because the project is due in less than a week, I have become immensely stressed over being able to get my voice back and having enough time to film my CCRs. I have been mostly bedbound and am strictly leaving my house only for some doctors visits and passport renewal appointments. As I write this, my sickness seems to be getting better, and my voice is slowly but surely recovering. I have spoken with my friend Nicole, who has AICE Media Studies AS in a different period, and she has offered to help me film my CCR on Sunday, so that I hopefully have enough time to make a decent recovery before then, and have just enough time after to edit and post my CCRs.

    When I have been feeling more comfortable throughout the day, I have been slowly making progress on sound editing(I will insert an image below). I have honestly been procrastinating it, but I know this must be completed incredibly soon and this will not only affect me, but my partners as well.

    I know this is incredibly unfortunate timing, but I am trying to do my best in this situation. Until next time!
