1.1.14 File Compression Facts

I decided to write about this topic because it is related to photos. I was glad to learn about the terms for losing quality during compression. Lossy compression of files happens so often and I see it all the time on the internet. I see this especially in social media posts. When uploading many don't realize their photos are being compressed. This happens because most mobile phones save pictures as JPG. I am very harsh on losing picture quality but most people do not seem to mind this at all.

Hard Time

I am finding this semester incredibly difficult to keep up with. I am still trying to find a good routine which is making me fall behind. I am definitely thinking it has a lot to do with my new job. I am barely on my second month. I am having to learn a lot of new tasks. I am also having a lot of work thrown at me. It is overwhelming but I can do this. 

The very next thing I need to get working on are my posts for the first three chapters. It has been on the back burner for a few days now. Here we go!

So Motivating!

You all are so motivating. I sincerely enjoy reading about how you all are pushing through the struggles. We all go through it in a similar way or another. I do find myself questioning how so many other people can juggle school, work and a family all at once.  

I'm enjoying reading more about everyone's goals, hobbies and thoughts. I like, Kevin, enjoy photography. The pictures I include in my posts were taken by me. Kevin, you truly have an impressive camera. I can only hope to one day have one like it. I also took Photography 101. The image I included in my post today is hanging at the North Las Vegas campus Building A. It was a finalist in a photography competition this last spring semester.

Been Up Since 5 AM

Oh man! This summer break is definitely taking a toll on me. I have been too comfortable not working on anything. I am currently sitting at the CSN North Las Vegas campus at approximately 9:30 PM. I just finished up English class. Even though I am only taking two classes at a time I am finding it hard to get back into the groove of things. 

It is "month end" at work and which is basically closing out the previous month (August). It is incredibly tedious work just like this class. Despite all of this, I am still going to push myself to go to the gym before making it home. Aren't we all glad coffee exist? Nothing a Pumpkin Cold Brew from Starbucks can't fix!
