In this vlog I am reflecting on the past semester of my English course. you will notice that at the end of the vlog the video seems to end abruptly and that is because my alarm went off whilst recording and it stopped recording. Instead of continuing to record after I decided that the video ending was for the best since I started rambling and repeating myself. So although the video ended abruptly I did say everything i wanted too even with the unexpected ending of the recording.

In this blog I am writing the scene for the introduction of my research project.
I am sitting down on couch in my house with the laptop my mom has lent me for school. There aren’t any particular smells happening, not that I would be able to smell it considering it is my house and my olfactory senses are used to the scent of my house, in even simpler terms I am home alone and there is no food or anything that would change the scent of my home. I currently have the taste of cranberries on my tongue do to the cranberry juice I am drinking. The linear sound of the clock on the wall is the only sound other than the scribbling of pencil on paper and the occasional typing on the keyboard. I am in the zone since I just finished studying for calculus and have now moved onto the homework associated with what I was studying. I have a test in two days and I have been stressing out about it all week but I am almost done studying and I couldn’t be happier to finally finish so I wouldn’t have to worry about anything other than memorizing equations and my homework for other classes. A couple minutes later I finish the last problem of calculus and relief washes over me, now that I don’t have to worry about hours and hours of math problems, I am finally able to properly hang out with my mom. We put on the movie Ant-man and the Wasp and I made some popcorn. We have an air popper so we get to choose what flavor we make it especially since my mom bought a ton of popcorn flavor powders. I made regular buttered popcorn because it is my mom, my dog, and my favorite kind of popcorn. Yes I did say my dog loves buttered popcorn, she will actually spit out plain popcorn and look at you like you are absolutely insane and is basically asking why you think she will eat this unbuttered crap. My dad didn’t believe us at first until he tried to give her some and he got so frustrated with the dog he left the house for a little bit. Anyway we were watching the movie and I was tapping away on my laptop working on the website I am making for the business I am starting. The website I am working on is full of colors from all of the pictures my mom and I took of 3D prints I have made and their fully painted counterparts. Since you have absolutely no idea what I am talking about let me explain. I am making a 3D printing and finishing business where I will 3D print props or anything else that somebody needs printed and if they would like I would sand and paint it as well and then ship it to them. I started this website since I am very passionate about 3D printing and haven’t always had access to a 3D printer so I could bring whatever I wanted to to life or to even fix things with a printed part, and I don’t want anyone to have to have their ideas stifled by lack of tools. In this blog I am going to be explaining what stance I am taking for my research paper and why. I am not going to be mentioning any research in this blog because I would like to put down my thoughts on why I think the process went the way it did for me and later blog about whether my thoughts were correct or not.
For the research paper I am going to write about how the process did not work for me. I believe there are multiple reasons the process didn't work for me. For one, I was very stressed the week we did the process since I was studying for a calculus test and taking my focus away from studying was even more tedious and stressful. My pet has also been sick for a while and her getting better has been a slow process that has been very emotional which makes it even harder to think about three good things each day when my pet is in pain every day do to her being ill. Unfortunately she is still sick but I think she will be able to fully recover in a week or two. Since I was so stressed and in such a negative head space I believe that was why the process didn't work. I have actually tried a similar process last year but it still didn't work for me and I believe it was because I will always find things like this tedious because it is one more thing I will have to remember to do at the end of the day. In this blog I am writing about my entries for the week of Three good things and i used the following sources to help me. What is Positive Pyschology & Why Is it Important? (Positive Psychology Program), Greater Good in Action: Science-Based Practices for a Meaningful Life (UC Berkeley's Project Home Page), and Three Good Things (Greater Good in Action)

I used these articles to help me revise my narrative project. What is Fan Fiction -- and why is it making people nervous? (Stephen Downes), Rewinding and Rewriting: The Alternate Universes in Our Head (Hidden Brain Podcast) In this video I am talking to my cousin Alex and his friend Wally about my Narrative Project, Blogging for this class, my experience with communication in class, and my intrinsic values. Sorry for the long video but we were having a very deep conversation about the class so we ended up going over time. In this blog I will be making a found word poem out of my Narrative Project. I used this article to learn what a found poem was. I found this blog pretty hard to do since I have always found found poems hard for some reason so I wasn’t surprised that this was challenging for me.Do you think the scene provides enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem? If not, how do you plan to revise the descriptive language in the scene?
