For the Past month or so we have been working on our final project for our Computer science class. We were told to create an item using Blender. I was brain storming a couple of ideas, I was think of creating a pair of rims or making a Ocarina.
Eventually I just decided to come up with something more simpler, something that I would love to build when I was in my youth, Legos. I was able to design a simple Lego brick, which took me about 5 minutes to make. Once it was printed I was really happy with the out come.

For computer science, we were told to create a 3d model that would be able to hold a pen. I was having trouble coming up with a design of what the pen holder should be. I was thinking of a dragon but it was going to take a lot of time in order for me to be able to get the right shape. So I decided to go with a car. What car you may ask? A R33 Gtr.
I went ahead and I looked for a picture of a r33 and once I found the right photo I went straight to work. I was having a hard time getting the shape of the car right because of the amount of curves it had. I ended up making the car shape very uneven and so I decided to start over. I unfortunately didn’t get to finish because I was gone for a week, but I did have an idea of how the car would look, and how it was going to hold the pen. In the middle of the car there would be a hole where the pen would be placed. During class we were asked to tell whoever is reading this what NFTs are and what they do. So hopefully by the time you are done reading this you have a good understanding of what they are. NFTs stand for Non-fungible token. They are these coins that you invest in online. Some examples are Bitcoin and Dodge coin. It's pretty much online currency. In reality its very similar to trading cards, u trade a card, you end up getting another card.
The future is around the coner. Sooner or later paper money wont be a thing anymore and we will be using NFTs. For the past couple of weeks I have been workinjg on a project for computer science. We were told to make a donut using blender, blender is a computer software where it lets you create anything you want in a virtual world. The idea was to create a donut that would be unique like real life donuts.
So my first idea was to create a simple donut, nothing too weird or out of place. While I was sculpting the donut I ended up making the bottom half of the donut a lot thinner than the top half. I tried fixing it but it didn't really help and I was too far into the project so I was not able to start over. Then I remebered that there is no perfect donut and that our whole project was about making a donut that we created and it needed to be unique, I did a bit of reshaping and added colors to the donut and this is the final product. The past week my group and I have been working on a presentaion showcasing different types of video games. The two catagories that we chose were RPG's and Action- Adventure. During the presentations we discussed what games fall in those catagories and what the main objective of the game was. The game I chose for RPG was Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and for Action- Adventure I chose Spider-Man (PS4).
Cuando empezamos a aprender esto en la clase de español no sabía nada. Aprendí que puedes tener un conflicto con un padre hasta el punto de que él / ella ya no te quiere, pero incluso con todo eso, todavía se aman.En español, hicimos una unidad sobre cómo estar preparado para un trabajo e hicimos un currículum y respondimos algunas preguntas que podrían hacernos durante una entrevista. Algo que ya sabía era que necesitábamos referencias. Tuve problemas con eso porque no sabía a quién dejar. Así que busqué a quién pondrías normalmente y decía que menosprecies a las personas que te han visto trabajar o con las que has trabajado. Esa fue la única vez que tuve problemas en la unidad. Ahora que sé qué hacer cuando estoy buscando trabajo, buscaré un trabajo de verano que no tenga muchos requisitos y, con suerte, podré conseguir el trabajo.
Durante casi un año he estado haciendo aprendizaje virtual. Hasta ahora me está yendo bien en la escuela, pero a veces me atraso un poco. También puedo distraerme con mucha facilidad. Hay días en los que solo me concentro en el trabajo escolar y hay días en los que no hago nada en absoluto, lo que realmente necesito cambiar. Durante los últimos 2 meses, he estado aprendiendo sobre la representación de Latinx y cómo no hay muchos actores Latinx. Cuando los actores latinos obtienen un papel en una película, siempre son personajes en segundo plano y tienen que actuar como uno pensaría que actuaría y se vería un mexicano típico. Si fuera por mí, tendría más papeles y les daría los papeles principales en las películas o al menos los haría aparecer con más frecuencia. Algunas personas podrían decir "pero aceptaron esos roles". Lo harán porque no hay otros roles disponibles para Latinx y si realmente les apasiona ser actor lo aceptarán. No veo por qué se ve a las personas latinas como si no tuvieran ningún propósito en la industria cinematográfica. Son tan buenos como actuar como todos los demás, tal vez incluso mejor. Necesitamos estar más abiertos a la comunidad Latinx, necesitamos más actores Latinx. Recientemente hemos estado viendo más actores latinx que han obtenido papeles principales, pero no es suficiente. Es un comienzo fantástico, pero necesitamos más programas, películas que tengan personas latinas con papeles principales.It is the end of the school year (distance learning). Through out the past 2 months or so I have had a hard time focusing and turning things in on time, but now am I over that. I have also been doing some drawings. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PImygoxFQ-1SSQWz9v2r6qakaOfAspiSrV7d_funIdY/edit?usp=sharing
Once am in 10th grade I hope I get nice teachers like I have this year. I hope they are as helpful and funny. I also hope that I can keep up with my work and make some new friends along the way. For the past two months in quarantine I have been going to school remotely and I had a hard to concentrating. I wasn't able to focus as much compared to when I'm in school. But that was the only struggle. I have been getting good grades on my assignments and I have been learning new things. Like in Computer science we were leaning about how to use excel. With all the stuff that we were able to use like the equations that we had to put in and etc. My favorite project was using excel. It was my favorite because like I said before, we were able to do so many things on there.
