I'm not a millionare. I can't afford fancy computer programs. I don't wanna risk getting a virus when trying to download a crack or keygen for one.
There are some great computer programs out there made by big corporations that are commonly used. Microsoft has Word, PowerPoint and all that jazz. Adobe has their awesome Photoshop, Imageready, Illustrator, GoLive, and a shitload more that I love using.
The problem for users like me is... we can't afford them! This is why I decided to post a blog about it [not that many people read my blogs anyway...]. More people need to know about Open Source alternatives for those popular graphic/text/whatever editor programs.
I don't think I've ever had a registered copy of Microsoft Office on my computer since I've had one. I know others that don't as well. What do I use? OpenOffice. It's just as good and definitely gets the job(s) done. It comes with something similar to Microsoft Word, Exel, and whatever else Microsoft offers.
I've used and been in love with Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady since middle school. Unfortunately, I had to reformat my computer recently and lost all my .exe's. Thus, I downloaded The GIMP. Actually, I donwloaded GIMPshop, which is pretty much the same thing but the vocabulary changes for those who are more familiar with Adobe products. It's great. I like it.

School stuff
First period. Drafting with Mr. Laines. Pretty damn boring. I keep being later/absent to the class.
Second period. Honors Chemistry with Ms. Xavier. She's nice. But ugh, I'm getting a C in the class. I never liked Chemistry much...
Third period. They switched all the Humanitas kids out of Montes' class and back into Rocha's. Grr. A lot of us were pretty damn angry about it. I don't like Rocha. He's so fake and has some superiority complex, I swear. But yeah... He's just another typical Gardocki/Buchman style teacher. Y'know. The type that make you read something,and then answer questions or wrote about it. I always sucked at that stuff. What I liked about Montes was that he took a whole different approach to teaching, AND I got good scores on his assignments. He got kinda preachy about the whole oppression thing, but I didn't mind.
Fourth period. Bennet. AP Government. Ehh.
Fifth period. AP European history with Woessner. Yep. No band for 5th. Muahahaha.
Sixth period. Marching Dynamics. I only enrolled so I can get the PE credit I need to graduate =P.
Seventh period, I guess. Band practice. 4-8 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
