fear project part one

I expect that people will not realize whats about to happen, they will laugh and then hopefully they will understand my fear more.

senses

I wanted to make something that deals with time and that also deals with the sense of smell. I got a few ideas but I never really got any thing built in my hand I'm in the process of making it And I'm prepared to show those drawings today. basically a clock that shoots out smells

the rules

 have to say I had fine on this last assignment. It was a blast. The rule I broke was a roll that I follow almost everyday and that is to eat with my hand. Yesterday all day I did nothing but use my feet as my hands to eat my food with. It was interesting at first and then annoying as second and after a couple hours I realize how much respect I have for people with no hands. I don't think I could ever do this again if I had to I would be with my hand every day.

yesterday's class was awesome

I have to say yesterday's class is pretty awesome. I really enjoyed watching the video online. It was a different experience I would have to say. Also I like hearing everyone's 50 What if. That was very interesting to hear what everyone had to say and how they look at themselves and what other people have to say about them. I'm looking forward to the next assignment though I'm a little nervous to do it because I don't have any idea what I'm going to do yet. But I'm optimistic, have a good day.

field trip day

I gotta say today's class I probably enjoyed the most, it's hard to compete with amazing 3d technology. My most favorite thing today had to be the virtual reality room. I like seeing how different things are on different platforms. I enjoyed mostly the 3d room he first showed. Very interesting in all aspects. Also I really liked the oculus virtual reality headset. It seemed like a new way to play video games I've never been accustom too.

I'm Me!

I'm going to represent myself in this blog as I do in life: very unorganized, sporadic and scatter-brained. The ideas that enter my mind are not necessarily repetitive besides for some major goals that I have, such as getting a higher education and supporting myself along with a family someday.

I wanted to go to college because I think it is important to always be learning in life in many aspects. College has taught me things I wouldn't have known otherwise and it has given me a different experience. It is also a great stepping stone for bigger and better things I plan to accomplish in my future.

I like to see myself as a simple person that doesn't need a lot of material items to be happy. I enjoy being outdoors, camping and being around my awesome friends and family. I spend my spare time listening to music, taking walks and watching my favorite TV shows and movies.

I am definitely someone that likes to do things the same way every time and you might even say I have compulsive behaviors, such as checking locked doors and only putting in ten dollars of gas in my tank each time. I am just me and I like the way I do things.

One of my great ambitions in life is to travel. I want to travel to Europe and especially Italy because my grandparents were born there. I would also like to build a tiny house so I can travel with my home and live minimally off of the land.

I feel good when I am kind to others and enjoying company with good people. I am generally a very happy and optimistic person.

Sleeping on it

Another interesting class today. I really enjoyed listening to everyone talk about their experiences with sleeping on their book. It wasn't easy for me to get to sleep that night but I seemed to manage. I don't believe most people can say they have slept on a book before so I will take pride in that. I did really enjoy the art video shown today. I like seeing how people express art differently. I hope we can watch more interesting videos and have some more interesting assignments that are "out of the box".

sleeping on a book

Well my assignment was to sleep on my book. My book if you forgot is titled "how to research online". Before sleep I actually caught myself pondering about my book and then I quickly fell asleep. I don't usually dream but I did have a dream involving driving a car and crashing it. I don't know if that could be related but it was an interesting experiment none the less.

brought my egg back barely

Yesterday's class was quite interesting. I enjoyed hearing what everyone did to their eggs and I liked telling everyone about my egg project. I also enjoyed the ted talk. I think we should end each class period with a short ted talk. I feel that those videos are so informative

The mystery egg...

Last week we were given an egg in class to do something with. At first I was a little confused and wasn't sure what I would do with it. I asked my friends and family and no one had any suggestions that were realistic and interesting. For the fourth of July weekend coming up, I felt like blowing stuff up. All of my friends were blowing stuff up and the egg came to my mind. How can we blow it up? I had one of my friends hold the egg between some tongs while I held a lighter to it. After 1 minute and 30 seconds the egg had only turned black where the lighter was held. After almost two minutes we stopped the video because the lighter was getting very hot. I guess this goes to show that it isn't that easy to make an egg break or blow up with only a lighter.

egg?

Another interesting class yesterday and a couple things stood out. The egg! Yes of course the egg assignment stood out because it's just a surprise and something you don't expect. Another thing I really enjoyed was the ted talk videos, they are always so interesting!

Polly Wolly Well I'll try this.

Hello again everyone. I reviewed almost all the videos on Beth's channel and I did come across some interesting things. While I was watching these videos I was doing the assignment and thinking critically about the four S's, Serendipity, synchronicity, spontaneity, and surrender. To explain my doodling process is pretty simple for me, I have no process! As a matter of fact, I just doodle and look over definitions and it seems to do the trick for my memory. I don't concentrait on what I'm drawling. Believe me don't try to understand them because their is no understanding.
