I discovered today that the Mac computers delete button doesn't actually delete anything. As I was desperately trying to finish my project on photoshop using a vaguely unfamiliar Mac, I desperately pushed the delete button to try and delete layers, selections, and files. As far as I can tell, the delete button doesn't work on any of these. The existence of a delete button that doesn't delete is mystifying to me.

It was a pretty stressful day. I realized that an American girl who took three years of Russian in college is better than me, a native speaker from Russia who lives with Russian parents who speak Russian to her half the time. It was just me and her in class today, and lo and behold, she got every grammatical question right and I got almost every one wrong. I felt so. very. stupid.

Besides that, I spent almost my entire day trying different ideas for my self portrait project using photoshop. Who knew that making a photomontage self portrait could be so frustrating? I just had no ideas going through my head. It's also very frustrating when no matter what your idea is or what your vision for a project is, everything you do always turns out creepy. I really need to work on that.
