Japan - 2011 Tsunami - Hotel Footage

Another view of the Japan Tsunami. It's amazing how fast it can go from calm to chaos.

I had actually been looking forward to the glass-bottom boat tour we did last Friday. I love getting out in nature. It’s much better than sitting in a classroom. My expectations for the field trip were pretty high and I must say that I wasn’t at all disappointed. I learned a lot of pretty cool information from our two guides. I’m actually looking into the Scuba Diving classes that are offered here because of this trip. The guides told us that TSU offers it, but it can be a rather expensive grade. Since the G.I. Bill pays my tuition, I just have to worry about the “extra” fees. Hopefully it’s not too insane. While searching around for that, I came across “Underwater Photography” which is a major interest of mine, so I’ll be looking deeper into both of those courses. This trip was not only fun and a learning experience for me, but it could also have an effect on my future. It took going to the USS Lexington moored in Corpus Christi to peak my interest in serving on a Carrier in the Navy. I served onboard the USS Carl Vinson (Nuclear Aircraft Carrier) from 00-04 because at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) I requested a carrier SOLEY because of my experience with the USS Lexington. It’s amazing how something that seems so small can actually be a pretty big deal in the scheme of things.

I'm quite a bit late with my blog today. Normally I post it every Wednesday morning, but it's 10:29pm this time. lol I am struggling with the "Consumption" video that I have to make (film, picture), Edit, Reference, answer questions in written form about it and then present it to the professor. The problem is that I have scrapped my last four attempts because I can't get it to look like I want. I don't just want to turn in crap so I'm being rather anal.(No pun intended) I am about 3/4 of the way through my fifth attempt and I think...I THINK...it's coming along much better. Oh yea, it's due tomorrow by midnight. So, that is why I'm so late with this blog. I've been hammering away all day whenever I can and in between class. So unfortunatly, I'm going to have to cut this blog short which I don't normally do, since I like to write, but I have got to get the video done. I hope everyone is having a splendid week so far. I'll see you on the boat Friday.
