Reflection Week 16

The website is done! Although it may not be as professional as some website, I feel I really have accomplished something great for my first time with coding. I feel that after one marking period of learning how to code and another marking period of coding the website, I have made good progress with my website.

Reflection 16

This week, I started making my presentation. I think I want to include more on perspective in my presentation. I also want to include how drawing can be therapeutic, and how the skills I learned can be useful beyond sketching. Also, I found a really cute template on that slides carnival website and I think it'll go really well with the drawing theme and I am excited about it.

Another week has passed with wonderful interviews of seniors on campus. I am reaching a weird coincidence that most of the seniors who are wearing college T shirts are from Uctech. I don't want to appear bias in my page, so I will put in an effort to seek out individuals in different schools. My process for finding an interviewee is if i see someone walking on campus or in the hallway, I will stop them. But now I am changing my process a bit to a more concentrated search for an interview. I still have 3 weeks left and I want to reach 20 posts. Currently I have 15. That means I have to post at least twice a week, but I think once I focus on this project, everything will come together.

           My second semester 20% Project is going to be me learning to bake and cook many new things. Now that Memorial Day has past, I am totally ready to graduate. These last few weeks at school have been a drag and I am ready to go to college. I have had a busy week, but still managed time to cook. I actually made a lot more of those ice pops from last week because I keep coughing and when I ate/drink cold things I feel better. I also made my favorite dish, lasagna. I have searched many recipes and even ones for the microwave, but decided again to stick to my mother's amazing recipe. So, my mother made the meat, but it uses the same steps and ingredients I used when I made the spaghetti awhile back. At the bottom of the pan, I covered it with the sauce. Followed by three repeating layers of pasta with ricotta cheese spread on both sides, meat, and shredded mozzarella cheese. For the ricotta cheese, I mix one egg, basil leaves, and oregano with the ricotta cheese I bought from the store. After all the layers were ready, I covered the aluminum pan with aluminum foil and let it cook for approximately 35 minutes, then I uncovered the lasagna and allowed it to cook for another five minutes.

Reflection Week 15

Project is going well, I am working on the powerpoint and working on different models as well.

Week 15

This week I worked on my presentation some more, adding some touches on what blog posts I will highlight, where I will stress and highlight growth, and the general point of my presentation. I also went back into every existing blog post I created to work on grammar mistakes and conciseness. I added pictures to my slides, and developed talking points for the final presentation. At this point, I am done creating new blog posts for the presentation, and will focus on what I have done these past two marking periods.

Reflection 15

I had a really busy week and weekend so I'm kind of okay with the fact that I did not knit at all. I've come to realize that this sweater is not really going to be a sweater anymore. I'm hoping to at least get it to look like a vest or something. Anyway, I'm going to try to focus next week especially since its gonna be due soon and I have a ton of other stuff to do. Ugh, I need some motivation or something.

Reflection 15

This week was rather uneventful. I wasn't able to bake anything, both because I was busy at times and then lazy. I've been behind on my blog posts so I simply took this week to work on them. They're all written but I just need to attach the pictures onto them before posting them. I only have one more week of this 20% Time, so I'm pretty worried about me not learning enough. I want to get in at least 1 more recipe before the end and then figure out what foods to bring in for my presentation. Wish me luck!

Reflection Week 15

Memorial Day Weekend was not productive whatsoever. I wasn't home all weekend, and that was when I planned to work on my website. However, I'm hoping to make up for the lost time next week when everything is back to normal. Work on the website is going well, but stuff still need to be added. I'm having trouble creating tabs on my page, but I should be able to fix that.

REFLECTION 15.0

This week I made the decision to stray from practicing my icing techniques in order to evaluate a more useful prospect. I have learned to cook and practiced cooking a variety of food s however I forgot an everyday essential, Mac and Cheese. Now cooking mac and cheese is a very basic and simple thing to do, therefore I did not run into any major problems with this endeavor. Although the taste was not perfect, it was decent nothing special but nothing bad. The recipe that I used was from All Recipes - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/11679/homemade-mac-and-cheese/

New Reflection #15

This week, I thought I could reminisce on all the songs I have learned since playing the piano. I have come to find out that I have only learned 13 songs in total. For some reason, I had thought I had learned more but that goes to show that I am eager to know more. I know the project is almost over with and I need to pick a song to present to the class. I going to have to pick the song I know best out of the 13 I know. I don't know which but I eventually figure it out.

           My second semester 20% Project is going to be me learning to bake and cook many new things. This is a short week at school and the weather is starting to become really beautiful, so I made ice pops using frozen juice and soda mixed. As a child, my grandma told me to mix flavors and I have loved it ever since, so I used Pepsi and fruit punch to create my ice pops. I took a small paper cup and poured the liquid in it. I put it in the freezer and about 25 minutes later, I stuck it in the wooden craft stick and then put it back in the freezer. After 30 minutes I had some ice pops. It was a little too frozen so I left it out and forgot about it and it melted... I made another one with Seven Up soda and this time I only froze it for 40 minutes in total and the middle did not freeze completely so it as easier to eat. I also used a fork instead of a craft stick. I enjoyed it!

Reflection Week 15

Progress on this website has been made. Before I start, I would like to acknowledge that my time management skills have improved drastically as I am almost always able to find some time for my 20% Time Project. I'm still working on my website, and am getting some help from my brother and cousin. They know what mistakes I made and they can help me fix them. I'm hoping to finish my project next week as I am almost basically finished.

         This week for my 20% time project I actually worked out outdoors. I waited till it hit sunset and i actually went for a run and did some workouts outside. I have not done this in a while and it feels great to do it. It was so beautiful out and the scenery is motivating. i went by myself this time and found that i worked well. I was focused on myself and not any one else's pace. It was awesome. so it looks to me like this is how i will be working out form now on but only if its nice out. water is the same though and food was a little messy this week. I have to get on top of things!!

Reflection 15

This week I was able to continue my routine of interviewing students and posting them to the page. After talking to my teacher, I have decided to continue my page dedicated to seniors and their last few days on campus. I think it will be an important and great memorabilia in the future. This page will be like a yearbook full of memories for when we were in high school. This motivates me even more to capture more moments as the final days are approaching. I still have about 4 weeks left in the school year and I need to keep my eyes open for when a student wears their college shirt, I can take a picture of them. I am excited that Humans of UCVTS has grown from 2 followers to now 130 followers with over 3,000 views. I never expected this to happen. Please check out the page in facebook https://www.facebook.com/humansofucvts/notifications/

Reflection 15

This week, I finished filling in my linear perspective drawing. I really like how it looks. I am going to watch some more lessons on graphics and graphic drawings because I really enjoy doing them and I find them much more relaxing and fun than portraits. This project is definitely leading me into an interest in graphic design.

            This week, I started to plan out what my final presentation for 20% Time will be. I thought for a while and decided that I would start off my presentation with a slideshow of the different meals I made along with how I prepared and/or cooked them. I then plan to follow that up with an explanation of how cooking brought me closer with my family. In the presentation I want to specifically focus on how cooking with family strengthens bonds and gives your family and yourself a fun way to spend time together. I am going to cover how cooking with my grandma meant a lot to her and how happy she was to spend time with me.

           My second semester 20% Project is going to be me learning to bake and cook many new things. I was not in class during 20% time this week due to my busy schedule last week. So much has been going on in my life and I am very very busy. This week I made breakfast on Monday, but just Eggo waffles and sausages. On Wednesday, I helped my mother cook some chicken. I forget what she called it, but we baked it in the oven first and then covered it in this yummy brown sauce and made rice to go along with it. It was delicious!! I will dd the recipe to my document I have been keeping.

Reflection Week 14

Ok so I got tired of waiting for the DC Motor so I went to Walmart to get one. I still have to get a switch and I need to stop wasting time. Honestly, I haven't been on my grind lately, I have been slacking. I promise I will get myself back together after my other prom at the end of the week.

REFLECTION 14.0

This week I made my gallant return to baking vanilla yellowcake. Ass you may recall my first attempt ended in failure and disappointment, however redemption is in my sights. Therefore I gained an understanding of the error I made in my first attempt; this error was under-beating the batter which lead to a horrible cake overall. With that in mind I successfully created another vanilla yellowcake, one that was beaten the right amount and well cooked overall. The only thing that was less than desired was the icing; initially the icing held no real significance to me however my attempt to icing on the cake was nonexistent. Therefore, next time when I cook this again I aim to to put more effort into the icing part of my cake.
