Relationship Map

For this assignment, I had to create a relationship map of whatever I wanted. I chose to do my family and friends. I created different sections for myself and my friends. I created the UMW and Roomies loop to show the connection between my friends and I. I played around with the background color and the color of the connections and the titles. I added people as connections to others when I met them through that person. For example, I met Mike through my brother Joe. This assignment was a lot of fun but also a little tricky. It took me a little rearranging to make everything look normal because the defaults made the chart look a little crazy. I also had to play around a little with Kumo some to figure out how I wanted to structure it. I could not get it to embed into this post so I just took a screenshot

C Ya Later

C ya later, while running, of course. Get it? I try my best to make creative titles. For this assignment, we were required to go on a run and record where we went, using a tracking app.  Well lucky for me I walk my dog daily, ChiChi, and today I decided to try to create a C for my dog’s name, hence the title also.

Anyways here are the pictures from today’s walk.

Rio Olympics Here I come

This week, we were required to do the assignment, Storytelling Within the Web. When I first read through this assignment I was so confused and lost at what I had to do so I put it off for the last thing to complete this week. I went ahead and downloaded the X-ray Goggles to my computer and then started to think about what website I wanted to change. I ended up deciding to add myself to the USA women’s national field hockey team roster who will be competing this summer in the Rio Olympics. To my surprise, it was a lot easier to use the X-ray than I thought and I had a lot of fun with this. The only problem that I ran into was that safari would not let me create an account so I had to download google chrome to my computer and then try to use the goggles through that browser. It ended up working and I was able to create an account so that I could publish the link to my page. Check out my name on the roster here!

Below are the screenshots from the webpage. The first one is the original roster, and the second is the one I remixed. I tried to add my picture as well but I couldn’t quite figure that out so I just stuck with the USAFH symbol. I really enjoyed this assignment and plan to keep X-ray Goggles on my computer to use on other sites!

Life is a Highway

For this assignment (2.5 stars), we were to create a trip using google maps to tell a story! I decided to go ahead and do an unwritten story of a cross country road trip that I would like to take some day. A goal of mine is to hop in my camper with some friends and just drive with really no where to be. Obviously, there are some stops that I would like to make to see certain cities but I think it be so much fun to just get in a car and not really have a plan. I used google maps to create some of what my road trip would look like, unfortunately google maps wouldn’t let me add anymore destinations after San Fransisco. But, my plan would be to drive along the southern part of the United States, up the coast of California, and then make my way back to the East Coast with making stops Nevada, Colorado, Montana and Illinois. I found this assignment to be easy and fun because I was able to actually incorporate something that I would want to do in the future!

NOTE: I wrote this post as my western character on purpose.

Which Chrisley are you?

For this assignment (4.5 stars), we got to create our own Buzzfeed Quiz! I chose to do this assignment over others because I am always taking silly Buzzfeed quizzes when I am bored and scrolling through Facebook. We were able to choose any characters we wanted, so I chose to do members of the Christly family from the show Chrisley Knows Best. This is one of my favorite shows and I absolutely love this family. Creating the quiz took me a few minutes to figure out, but once I learned how to do it it was fairly easy. Here is the link, take my quiz and find out which Chrisley you are!

Dream Room

For this assignment (3.5 stars), we had to create a Pinterest board for our dream room. I love using Pinterest so I found this assignment a lot of fun and useful because I will just keep the board for when I decide to decorate my room in the future! I went with the all white/rustic theme because I have always wanted to do that, some things I have pinned before that I would consider doing! Here is my link to my board!

Character Resume

Bonnies Resume

For this assignment, I wrote a resume for Bonnie Sue.

I used my very own resume and just edited it to fit that of Bonnie Sue’s impressive array of school history and skills! The assignment instructions said we could either use a Webpage, Microsoft Word, or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!

Dream Vacation

I did this Dream Vaca assignment for 3.5 stars. I already had a Dream Travels board, but I just added to it for this assignment!

My dream vacation is and always will be a week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I’ve been going since I was 2 years old, and haven’t missed a year since. It is without a doubt my favorite place in the world, and I will never stop going! Even when I have children of my own I will make every effort to take them every summer just like I had the ability to do.

This trip will definitely be possible for me, as I have been going for years, so I know what needs to be done!

Money is obviously needed for any vacation…

  1. Book the house, my family always used www.midgettrealty.com
  2. If going with other people, collaborate on what everyone will bring….
    1. food (we usually cook in every night so everyone brings their own breakfast, lunch, and a dinner or 2 they will cook)
    2. bed sheets
    3. clothes/bathing suit
    4. sunscreen
    5. beach chair, towels, cooler, umbrella, surfboard, bodyboards
    6. etc….
  3. Leave morning of, check in/get key to house, and bam! Vacation has begun!

This assignment was a pain for starters. At first it was really cool to mess with code and create a page for myself, but when the program stopped working and deleted my stuff before I could publish it I was not happy. We were required to do the assignment storytelling within the web. I dowloaded X-ray Googles which would come to be my enemy and made an account. I selected to do an Amazon page and try to sell myself as a student looking for an accepting medical school. I had one big issue- it would never let me publish the URL, I attempted to sign in and out and even create a new account. I will just have to take point deduction for that because I tried for over an hour to publish it and finally it crashed my program and deleted my stuff. I did do the assignment though and took screen shots to prove it. It was fun for the first 15 mins clicking on things to edit, but then became really annoying when the program would not work properly. I would redo it all, but I really don’t have the time to try it again- seeing as it might not even work so I will just take the point deduction of not having a URL. I am kind of happy with how it turned out.
