Farewell

This is my last post for this blog so I am sorry for those who actually read this which I am sure is not many.  I would like to say thanks to our subscribers for showing their support but it will be no more.  This blog has been great but it is now coming to an end.  well thanks anyone who reads this and i am sorry for those people that there will be no more posts from me.

*SOBBING*

Dear and beloved viewers *sniffle*,

This is my last blog post as an Extension Cord collaborator. The journey was one filled with surprises, challenges, and lots of good times. I am glad that you could be with us through this experience. For me, the magazine-making process was a learning experience. I had never used a vector or raster program in my life (programs used to make the magazine) and had definitely never designed. We also learned different magazine writing techniques, that hopefully you, the readers enjoyed. The magazine itself had its ups and downs and was limited to time constraints. However, I think it turned out well and was duper awesome. Hopefully, you enjoyed following us as much as we did making the magazine. So, without further adieu, I a signing off.

Farewell

This is my last blog for this website and i would like to thank my parents for bringing me to this country from Mexico by crossing the border. Without them i would not be here. I also would like to thank my Ezine teacher Ms. Young for teaching us all what it is like to make a magazine.  I would like to thank my group, Beck, Ben, and Jacob. I really like doing these blogs and this might be the last time that i will see this blog. Thanks

This is Farewell

     It has been a great semester so far, and now it is slowly ending. This is my last post as an Extension Cord staff, for our first, yet final issue is finally coming to print. I want to first begin by thanking my parents. If it were not for them, I wouldn’t be here today, so thank you for creating the beautiful mind that is me. Next I would like to thank Ms. Young, my Ezine teacher who consistently required me to post on the blog for a grade. I’m never actually this diligent, so again, the blog would not be here if it were not for her and her required class. Finally, I would like to thank my nine subscribers. I will now choose to ignore the fact that seven of the nine subscribers are actually either on the Extension Cord staff or my fellow classmates whom I bribed to join. Juiceboxx, thank you. You were our first subscriber whom I do not know, and it was always a pleasure to see the weird little picture of the black kid every time I opened our website. Amy Bishop, I still don’t know who you are, and the fact that you do not have a picture on your profile is greatly disappointing. I have no idea when you joined, but I hoped you enjoyed the very random technology blog posts littered with mistakes, typos, and incorrect grammar. You say you liked the pictures? Those are required too. So really, this whole blog was controlled down to each little pixel in each blogger’s picture. Nevertheless, let us not stop these facts from ruining the joyous moment that is our end. Once this class is over, I will never touch this blog again. It will never be visited, and it will sit by itself in cyberspace, hoping a viewer might just stumble upon it, but the chances of that are unlikely. So now I say goodbye to you, the two readers whom I do not know, and the seven that I do, this is the end. But do not fret, you can always give me a ring if you are lonely. If you do not have my number, that is probably how it should be, sorry, that’s just the way things roll in our technology-filled world.
