Journal Entry

Let's see, the past 24 hours of my life... Hmmm. Well I'd say it went fairly well. I didn't have homework last night. (That's a first) So basically I just sat around the house playing games on my phone. Pretty amazing life I have. You all should be jealous.

Kids

Personally, I don't plan on having kids. Ever. But if I did, I would make them clean up their mess and be respectful. etc.

Banner Assignment Reflection

I really enjoyed creating this assignment. I liked how independent the project was, and how it wasn't an exact replica we needed to create. We really got to put our creativity into it. However, I didn't like how you gave speeches and made us stop working during class. This really took some time from my project. But what really bothers me the most, is your grading. It really confuses me. Do you fail us on purpose to show us how to deal with disappointment? Even if we did good? In the most polite way possible, I would just like to know why you don't grade like other teachers, or of how hard we tried. On the contrary, I thought your teaching skills were very good and thorough when we were learning how to use photoshop (eg: Masking, Layers, Font, Picture Adjustments, Etc.)

Journal Entry

Well, I just realized that these journal entries that make us write about the past 24 hours of our life, do in fact include the time I spent yesterday for blogging in this class. Pretty smart thinking isn't it? Our topic yesterday was 'How do you deal with disappointment?' I personally wasn't to fond of sharing my copin skills with everybody on the internet, but you got to do what you go to do. Well that's it for now. Bye!

Dealing With Disappointment

I try to not have to high of expectations when it comes to other people. I've learned that high expectations do usually end up with disappointment, so is not the same as setting yourself up for failure? I do believe it is. But when I am let down, I just try to let it go. That's life, and we just have to accept it the way it chooses to treat us.

Resume

No, I have never made a resume before. And a reason for that is I'm not job hunting right now, and even if I were I probably wouldn't have a chance considering the fact that I have no expierence in the work field.

Speaking Your Mind

Topic: Tell me about a time that you said what was on your mind. Are you glad you did?
I don't feel comfortable posting personal memories on the internet for everybody to see. But I will say that me speaking my mind did not have a happy conclusion.

Journal Entry

The past twenty-four hours of my life has been pretty boring. Nothing special really; Not much goes on during the school week. Just focus on your schoolwork and try and stay alive. Which is actually alot tougher than you would think. Well, in my case at least...

How much does an artist get paid?

An artists' paycheck really depends on the catergory of art and how good they are. With the catergory being so broad it is quite difficult to place a price tag on ones work.

Difficult Issues

When I have a difficult issue, I tend to ignore it or them as much as I possibly can. I tend to levae them unresolved and push them to the back of my head. So, I guess you could say I don't 'deal' with difficult issues.

Phoenix to Cali

Let's see... The last trip I went on that was outside of Phoenix was when me and my family just drove to the beach in California for a day. We left early morning, drove to the beach, stayed there for like 8 hours (All day) and drove back home. It was really fun. It was the first time my baby sister had ever been to the beach; And we sat in the sand and watched seals sunbathe on rocks in the sea. But I got a really sad sunburn. I guess I should've brought sunscreen. Oh well.

Journal Entry

Let's see... The last twenty-four hours of my life haven't been all that exciting. Did the usual got up, went to school, came home, did spanish homework, read for other homework, did math homework, and... went to sleep. Yeah, that's what happened. In that exact order as well.

Memories of 9/11

On September 11th of 2001, a horrific tragedy struck America. On this very day the twin towers in the World Trade Center located in New York were hit by two hijacked planes by terrorists. It is to believe that Osama Bin Laden is the main source of this attack. Many people died this day in history. Not to mention all the people who risked their lives to help to wounded. Unfortuanetly no matter the efforts given there wasn't much that could be done to preserve the towers.

Clone Stamp

If you are fimiliar with photoshop, you should know the 'clone stamp' tool. This tool is vital for distorting pictures while keeping them realistic. All you do is click on the 'stamp' icon on your left side of the screen. Once selected, right click on it again and a list will pop up. Then you can select a setting and begin cloning sections of your image and moving to other areas.

Journal Entry

      My last twenty-four hours.... Hmmm. Well I'd have to say the last day has been quite more interesting than my avergae day. First I had like three pages of Geometry homework. (Not fun!) Then after I finished that I watched the VMA awards on live television. It was amazing!!! One Direction won two awards for Best Becoming Artist and Best Pop Video. Beating Justin Bieber and Rihanna on both occasions. I was so proud as they also performed their hit song 'What Makes You Beautiful'  at the VMA's as well. It was a very engaging performance.

Ted Talk Nathan Myhrvold

1.) I listened to Nathan Myhrvold on archeology, animal photography, BBQ...
2.) Well the entire talk was about the speaker (Nathan Myhrvold) and what he does for a living. Bsaically he is a rich man with a jack of all trades. He does everything. Well almost. He's a genius with Microsoft. As he worked with them as a Chief Technology Officer in 1999. He is a world barbeque champion due to a special cooker he built. He even found major archeological finds such as the T-Rex skeleton. He travels and takes photos of wildlife which he has recieved rewards for. And he is just starting his interest in new cooking techniques. The man has a wide variety of hobbies.
3.) The talk was explianing all the things that Nathan Myhrvold does and why he loves them so much. He follow his dreams whereverf ever they lead him.
4.) The talk kind of inspired me because he proved he could really do anything he wanted to do if he put his mind to it. And he sure did! It just comes to show that you have the power to do anything, no matter how big your dreams may be. And pursuing them brings much happiness.

Discipline

         Discipline can come in many forms. Two of the most basic forms however are self-discipline and discipline from others such as teachers, parents/guardians etc. Discipline as a minor plays a very important role in your life as an adult. As a child you are disciplined so you know how to act like an adult and do the right thing. Like being responsible. If you are not disciplined you may  find yoursel in troube later on down the road. It could be trouble with a boss, a partner, or even trouble with the law. It is really important to obey your parents so you do end up making the right choice.

Photoshop

A mask in photoshop allows you to layer pictures on top of each other. There are effects that come with this tool as well. Such as transparency, making letters out of images, etc. But the tool itself is used to do m,any things.
