Journal: 1/21 Last day before Chinese New Year!

This is what I learned in photshop this week:
-magic wand: a tool to select a certain color on a picture
-horizontal type tool: a tool that allows you to select an area and type words
-eyedropper tool: a tool that allows you to pick a color
-brush tool: a tool that paints the areas that you click with the color you pick with the eyedropper

Today, in Mavis Beacon, there are both good and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?
Okay, I'll tell you the good one first-
The good news is that I've advanced to the intermediate level. But the bad news is that my wpm is only 23wpm.

A pixel is a tiny portion of a picture. It is hard to see the pixels unless you enlarge the picture really big. A picture is made up of tons of pixels.
Now, I'm going to introduce a new tool in photoshop. It is the magic wand! Magic wand is a tool used to select a certain color on a picture. So this will be useful if you want to change a certain color on a picture to another.
If I get some money in my envelope, I will save it in my bank account as usual, since I can't go shopping myself and I can't buy anything I want. However, if I could spend the money, I would like to go to the stationary store to buy some really fancy stuff and bo to a bookstore and buy comics (I love comics a lot). Lastly, and of course, I would go to a candy store and buy tasty sweets for myself. But that's all a dream. sign~
Today, my wpm is still 27. sign~

In photoshop, there are many tools you can use to change a picture. One of the many tools, is crop, and this allows you to box the actual part of a picture that you really want. It appears on the left side in photshop with an icon of a picture of a square with a diagonal line across it. There is another function in photoshop that allows you to combine all the layers into one and get rid of the other layers. You can find this function by going to Layer>Flatten Image.

Today, after another short time in praticing typing, my wpm is... (drum beats)
27 wpm!!! Yea, I improved! BUT I still need to improve a lot to reach the expectation, which is 35 wpm.

Journal:more about computers

User interface (U.I.) is how you interact with the computer, such as the keyboard, mouse, or by your voice . Now, technologies are improving very fast, some computers senses your touch, so with a touch by your fingers, something on the computer will change or a progrwm will open.
An icon represents a program, document, or tool to change something and there's other functions due to different icons. It's usally a small picture somewhere on your computer, in a program, or on a document. If you click into an icon, it'll open a program, document, or pops out a tool for you to use.
URl is the address of a website. This abreviation stands for Uniform Resource Locator. So if you know a website's URL, the address, you can just type it in, then you don't have to waste time on searching for the website.

Today, we also practice typing on Mavis Beacan, I got a wpm of 25, which is quite slow. I really need to improve. That is something I really want to do before Chinese New Year vacation. For this vacation, I don't think I'm going anywhere, so I'll be home most of the time. I guess I'll sleep more and get some rest before school starts again.

To fellow AST students-

Journal:A free hour

If I had one free hour on the computer, I would check my mail to see if I got any new mails from friends or teachers. Then I would go check a Chinese website that has tons of comics uploaded there to check if there's any new comic uploaded or the ones that I've been reading that's been uploaded. On that website, you can also watch cartoons but in order to do that you have to make an account and pay money. It also has a connection to a English web but generally the translation are bad and it comes out slower. Then if there's no new comics uploaded that I want to read, I would check some free games website to see if there's any fun games to play. Well, eventually I'd find something interesting to do.
