The bumpy road down to being an MSP



This week, it my first encounter with the surprise life had to provide, commonly known as " A
series of unfortunate events” , and certainly I am not talking about the Jim Carrey starrer movie that goes by the same name  (though it is a good movie to watch) . So, I am now a bit richer with an ample amount of experience, and it is going off sales this summer, please visit with your students’ card for a special discount.


Monday was the day this week, when jingle bells were sounding all around me. After all, this was the day I convinced myself of my dreams and goals in life. Besides, participating in the most important program of my life with clothes completely soaked in rainwater yet hopes still held high doesn’t seem bad at all, and trust me, it in fact is fun. So, the day ended with my heart full of determination, but poor me, I was totally unaware of the week ahead. I was given a task of creating a video with an answer “How my college will benefit from me if I become an MSP?” and had to submit it by midnight of the next Monday. I planned for the video all day long, and I made plans even more than a few pages could accommodate. But I had decided to wait till Wednesday to observe the videos submitted by others participants so that I could make something unique and trust me, I totally didn’t know life had few spikes installed down my road to making the video. I had to shake my hands with a lot of illness and downsides at once, but I made the video and was almost ready for uploading, and something had to go wrong inside my head. My insight was yelling at me, telling me that I was doing well, but I had to try harder, and without even thinking, I started re-recording the video, capturing my sick body talk like a comedian in a standup comedy show, and that too almost at midnight. So, I started capturing my videos all again at almost 11 pm on the cold Friday night, and my health was not good at all. Diarrhea and flu, it doesn’t even sound good at all. I was almost done with capturing but then I had to sleep too, I was sick, remember? So, I finished capturing the videos in haste and then went on a date with my beloved bed. Hail the god of sleep who blessed me with a sound sleep (after almost half an hour of staring while lying in the bed).


I then put all my effort into my work, and tried to make the best out of it. I had started learning Adobe After Effects and Crazy Talk animator for making the video and still had to seek a lot of help from the internet, and had to stay awake till 4 in the morning today. So finally, my video was made, not an excellent one, but not bad for a starter lying on his bed. J . But wait, my struggle was not over, the video I produced was almost 18 GBs, thanks to After effects who still had something to trouble me with. I woke up at 8, and worked for almost an hour and finally made the video almost 10 MBs in size. But the quality of the video almost made me cry, because I had my hard work put up to make the video stand out and of good quality in one hand and had this compulsion to make it small in order to let everyone watch it in another, and guess what, I chose the later one, but still believe that my video stands out. So with fingers crossed and eyes sleepy, I am waiting for Microsoft Innovation Center Nepal to lend me a brush, so that I can polish myself and shine, and shine like a diamond in a ****. Ahum! Ahum! .
