Zoom classes are almost over and exams are around the corner. My last zoom class will be on the 20th of May and it will be the last time I see some of my teachers until maybe next year if I see them in the hallway. Exams though at the moment I'm exempt from all classes that have nothing but teacher made test, which means I can focus on the two state test I have which is english and biology I did bad in my benchmarks because my environment distracted me and made me lose focus but if I take the test at school I might have a better shot. Overall I've gotten lazy on doing school work because I see no point since exams start next week why are teachers giving work when they should just let us relax and get our stuff together and mentally prepare for these test. The only work I see worth doing is the biology and english work because those are the two classes I will be tested by the state. Either way I'm ready for school to be over this year has been stressful, I just want to work out, play music/learn music, and workout. And also go to work to make money and have a nice income for the beginning of the school year. I'm excited though for having music as my path way and see how it will go. I honestly think I have the potential to be a great musician so I will go with that and stick with it. Thank you Mr.B for everything but I think my time has come to go to something where I think my creativity can expand and be shown. You're a great teacher and I will miss your class but I think music is the way for me.

It's almost time for school to be over with just a month of school left. I'm ready for summer so I can focus on music and increase my skill on bari and alto, music has help me express myself and has helped me relax while also do something really good for myself. I'm also excited to start working out and get a decent look before the school year for next year. I will miss DDA and the cool things in class, but I feel like I'm better off with music I can express myself with it and I enjoy working on it, while with DDA I don't like doing all these art's with photoshop and 3d modeling because I'm not creative in that way and I feel like I lack to express myself. But the class was fun and taught me somethings I can carry with me in life. I'm ready to start playing jazz music and become a better musician and play gigs.
Summary:
It's that time of the year when one has to select their classes for next year and well your boi does not know what to choose. I don't know what I want to do. I've always done computers and been known for that. But I've been pretty good with music also. Now that it is choosing time I don't know which to choose I feel like I'm better at tech then music and I generally can learn computer stuff really quickly. While with music I have to work harder and learn so many terms that I haven't learned. I feel like I can't choose between both, and it is kind of stressing out and I've asked my teachers and parents and I still don't know what to do. So now during spring break I might try to decide and see what to choose.
Summary:
Lights are annoying, the placement can be difficult and also the choosing of which light to use. After practicing with them I feel more comfortable and I found the shadow on button that makes my shadows look more pleasing. Working with different renders is sometimes annoying because I forget which one to use for a specific light and sometimes when choosing the wrong renderer I get a black screen which scared me at first but then later on learned it was because I did not have the right render. After I saw that the lights looked awesome and that it worked lol. Overall lights are cool to mess around with and see how it affects your scene and the mood it creates.
Summary:
The amount of stress that this one assignment has caused and how badly it has hurt my grade has really made me think do I want to keep doing this art until my senior year. The last assignment I haven't even finished because I have no clue what to do after redoing it for 3 times the pressure sure is on and is making stress for no reason. My grade went from a 92 to a 85 and now the next assignment is about 3 to 4 hours long and I'm not ready for this. But I will keep pushing the task must be completed and I can do it I just have to see it in a different perspective.
Summary:
Well after seeing the assignment I decided to go for it thinking it was going to be easy. But after 2 hours I started to realize that this was not going to be easy and instead would be quite difficult. After working on it I had messed up really bad so I decided to reset the whole thing and start from scratch. After that I ran into the problem of having a messed up UVW unwrap which caused a lot trouble but for now I will keep going and see how it goes. By far this assignment has started to push my limits. The videos are a bit dated and make it hard to find the tools used in the videos because the program has changed so much and everything is not in the same place.
Summary:
After winter break I notice that my energy was always low so I knew it was time to start being healthier. So the first step I did was to start working out every other day and try to get back in shape. Then I attacked my sleeping schedule by going to bed around 11:00pm or 11:30pm. After doing those small changes I started to notice my energy levels were higher and school was not as bad when you're always in a good mood. But we still got more down the way. But a new year is always good to work on something and improve the skills in life. I also started to see life a different way. I want to be the best version of myself that to the point when we go back to physical school no one will recognize me.
Summary:
Well this quarter has sure been really stressful I had a 4.0 GPA for most of it but coming back from winter break sure made me realize that I was hurting myself. Mentally and so I decided that I will still go for A's and B's but straight A's might not be the moves for the rest of the year. It is nice seeing that 4.0 but the things you have to do... not worth it or at least not for me. So I will still try my best but won't stress as much. Overall I am proud of myself for making it to a 4.0 and know the work you have to do to get it. Other than that online school has become a little better and now I'm just focusing on becoming a better and having a stronger mindset.
Summary:
Thanksgiving is around the corner and I still have a lot work to do. I feel really over whelmed and tired, school has been a little stressful because I have been getting a lot of work from each class. During this week everyday I felt so tired for no reason and I notice school was taking a lot out of me mentally. But 3D modeling though has been okay I am at 50% of my neighbor hood project I have the street and plane and 7 houses because the other 3 need to be different and unique. Out of all the projects this one seems hard but is not. But then again it kind of is, for thanksgiving I will be playing video games and trying to relax while I have the chance of no work over break. That's why I have been working my self to finish an assignment before break. But overall I need to manage my time more wisely and being careful on distractions. Like my phone I deleted all social media except entertainment like YouTube, Netflix and etc. So my distractions stops and I can focus on my work and keep being productive.
Summary:
Well 3D modeling has been fun and was a bit stressful because it get's involved with my life after school and makes it harder for me to relax because when it's big projects I have to use time out side of school and work on those projects instead of having fun or relaxing. But the mechs were fun to make and taking photos of different parts of town was cool. But one thing I will focus on more is seeing what thing needs my most attention and what can hold on. The rest is just about having a schedule and keeping up with work and using my school time wisely. I miss school but it's fine I have found a way through online school. Never the less I miss my friends and socializing with other people. But if there is one thing I have learned through this pandemic is being alone is not bad.
