more arc gis

We worked in ArcGIS again with our mylars and learned how to create a shape and zoom to each layer. I was frustrated today because I was behind and had a hard time following. my mylar didn't ever show up.

I start listening to Christmas music after thanksgiving because I don't like skipping that holiday straight to christmas.

Arc GIS

We worked in Arc GIS today working with different layers and making them transparent so that we could see the parts we needed to work on including our mylar we scanned. I had a little trouble following today because I did not have my image scanned already.

A good book i have read lately is called the memory keepers daughter. it is about a girl born with down syndrome who is cared for by the nurse of the girl's mother.

GIS

Today we worked in arcGIS and learned how to organize a map that we will put in our paper. We learned to be organized and where to get pictures. I was not confused about anything today.

My favorite place to eat is pizza hut, we would eat there on my birthday all the time.

review

today we did a test review and went over illustrator, powerpoint, and photoshop. we did not finish the review paper, so i still have questions, but I will ask them later.

i know a nerdy science joke that you all probably know. one atom said to the other, i don't feel so good, i think i lost an electron. the other atom said, really are you sure?
yeah, i'm positive.

Power point

We learned how to use power point today by choosing templates, editing all the slides at once, and adding pictures and animation to out presentation. I was not confused about anything today.

Adam's presentation was nice, but I didn't like all the sounds. Some of the animation took too long to get to the information. Also the font was too light and I couldn't see what it said on some of the slides.

Poster

Today we worked in illustrator on how to make a poster. We used trasparency to add a cool background so it's a picture instead of just a color. Then we worked with symmetry and font type and size to make our poster look professional. We looked in GSA to see the poster format we should use. I was not confused today and thought it was a good class.

My favorite class so far has been gymnastics, but academically it has been geology 112. I loved that class because I learned so much about the things I had already been interested in from taking 101.

Poster

Today we learned how to make a good poster by using symmetry and color to our advantage and draw the reader in. After we talked about that, we worked on our projects some more in illustrator. I was not confused about anything today.

Even more Illustrator

We played in illustrator more today and learned how to make a mirrored image, set guides, use the eraser, scissors, and knife tools. We also used gradients and the magic wand selection. I was not frustrated about anything today.

I have lived in tucson arizona, hugoton kansas, kansas city MO, Lake St. Louis Mo, Troy MO, La Jara CO, and Roosevelt Utah.

Freebee

Today in class we messed with illustrator some more and made our own cross section. I liked this class because i have been confused about how to use the pen and finally figured it out. we learned the tricks to trasparency too so we could edit a scanned image and make it look better, but still like it did before we edited it. I was not frustrated about anything today.

It is a freebee third question day. I will tell my favorite place I have lived. I loved living in Kansas City, Missouri. It was so beautiful there all the time with many dark green trees and lots of water, totally opposite of Utah. There were no mountains there though, that's what I like about Utah.
