At the moment, I am waiting for the revised graduation video I just completed to finish compiling. Our baby/senior picture slide show was unfortunately missing a number of our graduates due to a missed picture folder. I have spent the day double checking our lists and pictures, getting more pictures (with the help of Lisa Thomas and Megan Murphy), recreating the entire senior slideshow with the new pictures and names to go with them, figuring out timing so I did not have to add more music or make the entire graduation video longer, stripping the audio from the original slideshow and splicing the new slideshow's video to it, reworking the transitions, reviewing the newly completed video, and now waiting for this to finish compiling so I can transfer it to a flash drive. Tomorrow, I will take that drive to our principal so he can use his school YouTube account to upload this revised graduation video.
In truth, I finished my tasks both today and yesterday earlier than I expected. Yesterday, I was able to head home at about 9:30 or 9:45 when I thought that the graduation itself might not have been done by then. Today, I fully expected to be up through a good deal of the night to get this video done. I was especially worried that my math was going to be off and that I would have to make several attempts to get the timing right so the audio could sync up. Amazingly, I got it right the first time (well ... with a two second gap at the beginning). Granted, this compiling has been going on for 40 minutes and it's only halfway done.
I was up at 6 am both days, and working by 8 am (give or take a few minutes). My lunches and dinners have been substantially shorter these two days as well. I haven't even watched an entire television program (not even a M.A.S.H. episode), let alone played any video games. I wouldn't even be writing this long of a post if I wasn't just waiting for this video to finish. Hopefully, I can get to bed around 11 pm.
The good news is that things should be easing up now that graduation (and this video) is done.
