Quick Note I was supposed to finish this before the doghouse, but I was so intent on making the chairs look fancy, so it took me longer than I expected (oh well lol). Also, the reason a dog is on the table is because I forgot to put it by the doghouse. :> How It's Made (please don't sue me) I'm sure you could easily figure out how to make the floor, walls, and window, so I won't talk about that. There was a lot of use with the push/pull tool, considering exact measurements were needed. The follow me tool was also used to make the skinnier parts of the chair legs. One other tool that had a significant role in this was the offset tool, used to make the tablecloth. - Brenna (っ• ◡•)っ
This is the doghouse I made in Sketchup. It was surprisingly easy to make, but I guess that's what blueprints are supposed to do. - Brenna (っ• ◡•)っ (PS: There were a couple other projects that I was supposed to finish before this but they aren't done yet; I'll get them done as soon as I can)
To start off, this was made by typing my name and making the text layer into a normal layer. Then I started erasing my name bit by bit, starting from the end. After I was done erasing my entire name, I made the animation using layers as frames, switching the order to make it start from the beginning. This made it look like my name was being handwritten (sorry it's really slow btw).
So the other day I found out that my Myer-Briggs personality type is INFJ, not INFP, which made me really angry because now I share my personality type with Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden when I used to share it with people like Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger. At least not all of the people I share it with are terrible; I also share my type with Tilda Swinton, Sufjan Stevens, Al Pacino, Adrien Brody, and Rooney Mara (who is so cute btw so don't you dare trash her). INFJ means that I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging, and I'm sure you already know what all of these means so I don't have to explain it. On Point? For the most part yes. I'm almost always recognized as quiet, and it is really easy for me to cry about something small. Everything I can remember about my type is accurate; there is nothing (that I can remember) that I can't relate to. It doesn't really help me to better understand myself, since I already knew all of these things about myself. Clarification I don't really know how I can relate my personality type to how I act in a group, in my family, or basically anything else. That's definitely something I can't explain, I don't know why :<. However, somebody misunderstanding me is something that happens often. I have read that my type compliments people so much that it may sound like that person is flirting with everybody, and I worry about that constantly. About me "having issues" with other people? Definitely. I know someone who is a huge extravert, loud and proud. They argue with other people a lot, always thinking that they're in the right, which really bugs me, not just when I'm around them. What I've Learned I don't really think I've learned all that much from this, considering I have already learned about a lot of this stuff before we did this. :< Golden Retriever We also took the Lion/Otter/Golden Retriever/Beaver test to see which of these animals you are, and I got the golden retriever. It was surprisingly accurate; it said that I am very loyal, I look for security, I have deep relationships with a few close friends, looks for appreciation, wants to be loved by everyone, indecisive, calm, indifferent, and is too soft on other people. That is definitely me ok it's weird.
Frame by Frame As the heading implies, this animation was made with Photoshop using several frames of a similar picture to make the stills come alive. To make it appear to bounce on the ground, I used the animation skill "squash and stretch" to make the ball appear to be very fast and bouncy. To make the ball appear to slow down at the top using the skill "ease-in, ease-out" (there are other names for it too). More on the Subject...

Summary The article being summarized is in the title. Basically, this article is about how many (or some) colleges look at students' social media to make sure they're not bringing any trouble-makers. Most of the time, this is done when students are applying for colleges; if they find out that a student is acting inappropriately online, they will most likely not accept them into their college, even if their GPA is great. It's generally saying that students--or anyone for that matter--should be careful about what they post online. Surprise! There were quite a few things in this article that surprised me. After all, I never realized that colleges looked through their students' social media pages. After hearing about it, it doesn't sound all that surprising anymore, considering al the rude things people post online. Another thing that shocked me was that of 381 college admissions officers that were interviewed, 31% of them said that they had checked a student's Facebook account to learn more about them; sounds kinda creepy to me :0. One other thing that surprised me was that a student from a college in California reported someone who he had friended on Facebook because of the person's rude comments about others. There aren't that many people who would say something about something like that (there was one other thing I was surprised about but it was pretty much the same thing as the first exclamation). Okay...? There were some things I was kind of confused about in this article. The first one I marked down was the same quote that mentioned the college admissions officers. Why would they look up their student's Facebook exactly? Were they concerned about a student? Did they think that someone's personality was fake and they wanted to find out what it really was?? I was obviously confused about that. I was also confused about what was trying to be said in this quote: "But those were rare instances, he says, and the supplemental material didn't significantly affect the students' admissions prospects." What does that mean?? The last thing I was bewildered by was about the kid who reported his Facebook friend; they didn't exactly make it clear whether the reporter wasn't accepted into the college or if it was his friend. If it was the reporter, why didn't they accept him? It wasn't his fault that his friend was posting mean things online. My Response After reading this, I would say that I'll be a lot more careful with what I post online, even though I don't use social media very much (I just kinda use it to look at things, I rarely post anything...). I don't really know what else I would say about this other than that I'll be extremely cautious when I post things on social media!! - Brenna (っ• ◡•)っ
