Course Final Thoughts

My favorite aspect of the class was the freedom to do what I really wanted. My unfavorite part of the class is that many were unwilling to talk, it may seem like I didn't want to, but once the ball is rolling its easy to talk. Sorry that these aren't very lengthy, but I want to enjoy my 4 day summer vacation before my next 2 summer classes start..... fock!

Class 12

I enjoyed seeing everyone's projects. I feel like I would have rather done something else for a project, because I didn't really get to choose what it was about. I really liked the video the one guy made though about getting hit by a car. Other than the final, pretty solid!

A blog entry I like!

http://ayeshasideways1.blogspot.com/2009/12/second-life.html

This is what everyone thinks and this is why I like it. I think we'd all like to live this way, but can't due to the consequences. Which that sucks. We should be able to do what we want all of the time, we can... but don't because we care what others will think or how it will make us look.

I wish everyone could live life this way... it would be a topsy turvy world.

Revamped assignment

______________________________________________________________________


I wanted to do something that kicks ass.

I want to step outside the boundaries of this assignment and do something with photoshop that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'm over doing assignments that want me to make rectangles different colors and opacities, time to turn on to what I really want to get into.

I know you said in the beginning of the year if that some people have done things like not done an entire assignment to get over a phobia. Well I guess this is me doing that, but not quite the same way. I want to start doing things that make me get better at what I want to do, and this is a pretty big step for me, and I think it looks pretty decent.


This is me as an Avatar character. I put a lot of time into doing this, and just trying to figure out what things I don't know in Photoshop do... I like the result, but I still wish I could do it cleaner. I know that does "art" in photoshop never knows when to stop themselves, so I tried to and I still just want to start from scratch to make it even better... Which I'm sure I will try in the near future.

I can't wait to master this stuff, I know it will take a long time.... but I want to know it all, NOW!

Class 8

I had really been struggling with my online class for 3D animation, the video was really crappy and the program had just awful usability. So I stayed home to finish an assignment that ended up looking like crap anyways.......hhhhhhhhh iupui if you are going to offer online classes that teach a program... try making it so you can actually see what the instructor is doing on the video and not have like 15 second gaps of him moving the mouse and showing where things are

Dark experience

I thought the in the dark experience was really cool because people didn't know what to expect. It was kind of ruined by people that kept walking in, as well as by the crack in the door where light came in and my eyes adjusted I could pretty much see everything. It was still a neat experience though.

I couldn't over come vision for the tunnel. I hate being uncomfortable and one thing I don't like is heat, so I sat there and bitched in my head :)

Reality

Reality to me right now is like the movie with Will Farrell stranger than fiction. I feel like I can just see me walking to class from an aerial view along with everyone else... mindlessly trudging down the sidewalk trying to get to class to get through college and move on to the next project in my life.

Reality only sets in when something major happens... I've been in school for 3 years now and each day is pretty much the same as the next. There aren't a whole lot of significant days of just regular school I can remember that were very important.

Some fears....

• Being alone
• Graduating
• The deep ocean
• Spiders
• Death
• Other people's deaths
• Safety
• Today's pool of people for relationships
  

Opportunity Cost

I decided to hang out with the girl I'm "talking" with before she left for Florida this morning, it was her birthday as well today. So I figure I'd miss class and keep her happy. I like being able to make my own decisions...

noitcerid suoenatnopS

Ghoti - made up for the purpose that the English language is too complex.

I was thinking about everyday distractions and one I came across today was a song about addition.

watch it it's very clever

It is a cartoon with a beaver singing about addition.. So I wanted to make up my own little cartoon character to demonstrate how confused he was about how the English language works.

There are always squirrels running around my apartment and I like them so I used a squirrel for my cartoon character. I want to be able to make little cartoons with flash or another program once I learn it, and I think it will be a lot of fun.

Squirrels aren't generally spellers, but mine is. I think he is an okay idea for a character, maybe he needs some clothes or some Kanye West sunglasses... who knows maybe I'll call him Steve.

I was looking through the Wikipedia link and was confused by even reading about the topic, so I decided to use a book with some confusing text in it... not beyond this world.

I enjoyed making my distraction into my project... because our distractions interest us. (for the most part)
