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...

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)

Class 5

Once again, had to miss class to due to personal issues.

If you could possibly tell me a "bible dip" out of the book you guys chose from I'd appreciate it if you could respond to this via an OnCourse message.

Thanks a lot!

Inspiration

Inspiration to me is something you see or hear, and it makes you want to go do something immediately.

I really love to play guitar. I think it is really entertaining to me, as well as I like to entertain my friends and family doing it. I recently purchased some new equipment (which I can't believe didn't get stolen that night) and it's really stepped it up for me.

Here is one video that is inspiring to a song I like to play:

Bittersweet Symphony

I really liked this version, so I learned how to play it it exactly like this guy can minus the tambourine, and I have a blast doing it.
