From this past day or two this new class structure isn't what I would prefer. It's not that I mind doing work or learning, it's that at the start of the year we were laid back, and free to do what we needed to do to finish our project. I feel like right when this new semester started it's almost as if my teachers handed me a stack of heavy books to study tonight. I feel a whole bunch of weight pulling me down and it's starting to stress me out. Last semester we had to do a blog post once a week for math, and I feel like a lot of the students struggled with it, and now having to do it in physics, I feel like we would lose time when doing our blogs, when we could be working on our project. Especially since it is due each Friday when school gets out. I think the project themselves are great fun ideas, which gives the students a nice variety to choose from. At first I was nervous that this project would be boring, but now I am looking forward to getting started.
CAD and Machining isn't my first choice, but I would love to do the starter pack to see if I like it more then my other choice. I'm really interested in using the Lathe, and making things. I feel like having these types of skills at this age is really awesome and will most likely be helpful for my future. Other then CAD and Machining, Programming is my first choice. I would love to do Programming because once I saw the little demo video I immediately thought of what I could do. I'm really interested in making a video to a song or two. I don't know that much about programming, but I am excited to learn about it. I imagine doing something cool to a song that is similar to a waterspeaker- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fScV97JzycM I want to work in groups, I also believe we should choose whoever we want (friends, or people we normally work with included). I say this because me personally, I feel really comfortable with my friends, both trusting them with my project, and working with them on a project. I feel comfortable enough to tell them what I like and don't like when they do something, which is something I don't feel comfortable doing with other classmates. I know who I work well with, like Rachel and I make a great team, I also know who I don't work well with, so I won't put myself in that kind situation. I know what I can do and handle, so I feel like we should be able to choose who we get to have in our groups, to a certain extent. I think if we work in groups we can produce more great quality work (with the right person), then if we did it individually. For the Starter Project I would love to make a nut and/or a bolt. I think starting to get to know new tools would be really helpful, and I am interested in learning how to make these kinds of things.
