Factory Game 2

Factory Game 2 was quite different compared to Factory Game 1. There are many things that were different. Fist of all in Factory Game 1 you used your creativity to make a new toy. On the other hand, In Factory Game 2 you were not really using creativity but instead you were using craftsmanship in trying to hand make a commodity of The Hersh. Although this task did not require as much thinking it required lots more work, as you had to first cut then assemble and last color The Hershes. Luckily for me I got an easy job. Checking each set of parts and giving them to the assemblers. This job seemed very easy but wasn't that easy. The cutters were cool with me and we worked well together but the assemblers gave me a real hard time. But in the end I think it was worth it because we probably created the most toys, had the largest commodity and are going to get a pizza party. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Factory Project 1

I really enjoyed this project because it gave me a chance to move around. also my creative side was shown during this. Like when I lost an eye. This project was very fun but it did have its bad side. I think the biggest problem would be our restriction to the materials we had. I don't think the "no altering the shape" rule was that bad. But rules like no tape or no staplers made this project very hard to do. Overall this project had it's ups and downs but it was a fun project anyway.

Roller Coaster ride

You enter the cave and all you can feel is silence. All of a sudden you step into the light and you see a huge line of people waiting for the roller coaster. Oh no, you think. If that many people want to ride this then it has to be good. I can't do this, you think. I can't. But you don't leave. Eventually the line passes and it is your turn to go. Stopping your heart, and all the rest of your internal organs, from popping out you bravely walk on. You begin to climb aboard and you buckle your self up real tight, thinking "Just in case," but you know that is not the true reason. All of a sudden you are terrified as the chain pulls the carts forward. You tell your self to be calm but you see the tall tower the chain is leading you to from a new perspective and you are terrified. As the slope inclines you close your eyes and try to calm yourself but the pressure of the belts and the head guards ruin it all. You open your eyes and smell the newly washed cart and ... All of a sudden you are falling down and then you take a sudden turn which wrenches your body to a new exhilarating feeling. Yet another wrenching turn comes and leaning forward your head rings in the chest guard, which is now pushing tightly against your chest. The wind is rushing in your face and you can barely open your eyes but yelling out a scream you came face to face with something you were not ready for. The loop. Terrified as you were you let out a chortling scream and closed your eyes but by the time you finish its over. As you get out you yell a happy and victorious scream as you get out with wobbly knees. Happy, you all a sudden taste the burger-ish but more sour-ish taste of your lunch. Heading to the nearest toilet you feel it was still worth it.

Fruit Roll up

As the familiar and still delicious sweet entered my eyes I recognized the familiar eye popping combinations of colors and words. Crunching the sweet,but plain smelling wrapper in my hand I began to open the the packet. The familiar smell of cherry sweet and sour entered my nose and I knew, that this would be only another time where an ocean blue with oil spill purple will enter my watering mouth. As I recognized that fact, I was my stomach and I were fluttering with delight. So delighted I almost forgot that before eating it, I had better finishing writing down all the wonderful and amazing things that I will notice. Sadly I put the delicious treat down and finished but, as soon as that was done I ate the mouth watering sweets that I was waiting for. The sweet and sour taste rejuvenated my tongue and my entire body. The feeling was exciting, new, but old, and already done too.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Necissity is the Mother of Invention. This statement is extremely true and right because all of our inventions came from necessity. That might not be so clear so let me rephrase that. Once we felt the necessity for something, we invented that thing. When Thomas Edison felt the necessity for a light bulb he tried and tried again to invent one. Once he did invent one the necessity he felt and he full filled his necessity. If tommorow someone felt the necessity to travel by teleportation he/she would try and try again to invent a teleporter that would help him fulfill his necessity.

How I learn best

I think that I learn best with a visual and auditory mix in the beginning, then a kinesthetic activity to follow up on the topic. An example would be a slide show with the teacher explaining with that slide show and after wards a hands-on poster or play that you had to make based on that idea. I usually like it better when this kinesthetic, or hands-on project is done in groups because I feel more comfortable that way.
To help me learn best in this class it would be nice to have lots of slide shows and teacher speeches and/or lectures. If this is followed up by some big group project.

My Gang

I would have to say that my 'gang,' using 'gang' loosely, contains six people. All these people are my friends but not always the people I go to when I have trouble. Like probably most people, my family would be the people I go to first, if I need advice/help. But if it's not too emotional of a problem or not to personal either, I would go to my friends and they would usually give enough help related to the topic. The people in my 'gang' are: Vishal, Sameet, Raag, Barath, Shuk, and me. These people have all had different roles in my life and I had different experiences in meeting all of them. An example is how I met Vishal. In sixth grade he had broken his leg. Since I was really helpful I decided to carry his books for him. This was possible since I had a lot of classes with him. This helped three people all at once. It helped me, since I got a new friend out of it. It helped him since it was hard for him to get around. And it helped his mom since now she didn't always need to come to school with him. With ass this time I got to share with him we got to know each other real well. And that's how we became friends. Now, as I mentioned earlier, this isn't how all my friends got to know me, we all had different encounters, sometimes piles of them, and those encounters are the 'bonds' I have with me and my friends. Well that's my 'gang' for you.

Feedback August 6-10

Two highlights from my first week of school are: my calculator that I bought was perfect for math, and I got along well with almost every one.
My very first impression of humanities was quite a mixture of things. First of all I thought that this would be a strict but fun class. This is because the teacher himself was strict looking but with a funny attitude. Secondly this would not be an easy class at all but rather one that will take lots of hard work to succeed in. I came to this conclusion because of the fact that the teacher had the type of face that says, "I'm not going to accept jokers and slackers in this class."
My main major goal in humanities this year is that I will improve my writing with more detail and less errors. My second goal in humanities is that I have an easier time coming up with good ideas to write about.
