I know these create assignments are late, but for my last one I chose fanfiction through an un-scene story, where I get to pick a minor character from a movie or TV show and write what they were doing before they entered the scene and after. I thought a good way of doing it would ...

THIS assignment gave me the freedom to take a photo and caption it, so I dug back in my files to find a good photo. What I came up with ended up being a picture of our rugby coach, Kris, from this past March at MARFU Final Four. I can’t remember if this picture is ...

I’m an obsessive person. Maybe the more optimistic way of putting it is to say that I’m really passionate about the things I love. However, I can’t decide what I want to do this fandom project about. I will try to list the things that I have been passionate about… Early Childhood The Sleeping Beauty ...

Dear person who will consider taking DS106, I have a few words of wisdom for you. First of, don’t be afraid to take a class simply because the discipline is computer science. Check out ratemyprofessor and understand that sometimes their information is unreliable and that CPSC 106 is worth taking a risk. Second of all ...

The Mary Wash Women’s Rugby Team just went to Nationals in Florida.  This means that I wasn’t able to work on anything from last Thursday through today, since we got back this morning after a long bus ride. Bear with me as I try to piece this together because I’ve been swamped with too much ...

I realize this isn’t as original as I had hoped it would be.  However, once I’d started the photoshoping, I felt the need to change the image. The final results: Two rangers prepared to save Spock from a ranger gone zombie. Let me name the characters by series name form left to right: Spock (Star ...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light – not our darkness – that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinkened so that other people won’t feel unsecure around you. ...

In response to Praxis 2.0: Escaping the edu-travelogue”, my biggest reaction is to how she broke down the limited freedom of students. “School doesn’t encourage breaking the law” sounds like something illicit is happening, but instead the message I got was that the author defends the freedom of creativity that students should be allowed. The ...

The Mary Washington Women’s Rugby team hasn’t made it to Nationals in the past 5 years. In the fall of 2008, the record held for over a decade was broken we they placed second in the state tournament. This past November, they entered the Virginia Rugby Union state tournament again, known as The Sandy & ...

Ladies and gents, I survived two epic thing over the course of last week and weekend: Junior Ring Week and MARFU’s Final Four That being said, the UMW Women’s Rugby team is going to Nationals in Florida!!! Here are some fun images from the weekend, credit goes to DMac, Megan McMillan’s father. Then there was ...

I warn you now that I’m going to tell you this funny story before getting to the actual point: the lack of SCHOOL SPIRIT . So once again it’s that time of the year where juniors get pranked. The t-shirts that Mary Wash gave us are ugly to say the least. Sorry if you’re the ...

If you’ve never checked out Tumblr, I can honestly say that you’re missing out on an e-cultural movement. Yes, I did just make e-cultural up, but maybe if I google it I will find a definition on the web. On Tumblr’s “About Us” section, they rave about being able to “effortlessly share anything. Instead, I ...

Our group, Dexterous Strangers, created a show about different pop artists.  For this reason alone, we called our segment POPular Documentaries.  We first started by talking about Lady Gaga, who is a huge deal now a days. Through the audio you’ll hear about anything from Britney Spears to the Beatles. Dexterous Strangers: Charlotte Elizabeth Matt ...

This is the first post for my project. I know I said I’d use stop motion, but it was hard to take a series of pictures over break because I was either not doing anything, at the dentist getting my biannual cleaning done or doing something equally boring that I couldn’t take pictures of, like ...

    Have you ever read Cormac McCarthy’s book, The Road?  How about watched its film adaptation directed by John Hillcoat? If you’ve never experienced this movie or book about a father and his son surviving through post apocalyptic times, I suggest you suck up the courage to do so.  I remember when I was ...

This is the first video that I edited, in which I added actual film. It’s short and boring, since it’s only of my walk on Seacobeck street to campus. As I learn how to use all of the features that Adobe Premiere Pro provides, I will do b...

Dear Google Analytics, You have been so wonderful in helping me see how many people visit my blog, the countries they’re in and what posts have been viewed the most. As great as you have been, you had told me that my blog’s visits had gone over 300 (I remember being at 299 and wishing ...

For my project I want to do stop motion videos. My idea is that each video will describe a specific day of the week. For me, every day is different. Some days are boring, others hold some excitement to them. I am not sure when I want to start because I want to make sure ...

Sound Effects: Alien TV Alien randomly turns on the TV and sees a commercial talking about the financing of a spaceship, before seeing the spaceship depart in the commercial.

Along with the help of Megan McMillan, a movement was created on Facebook where a few close friends changed their profile names and pictures to that of Catherine Mohr‘s. P.S. Jim Groom, there’s a silent plea in the chat box…

I’m first to admit that I slacked and could have done more commenting on photos and blog posts.  For that, I am sorry. I can say that I’ve really enjoyed the daily shoot assignment. It had brought up talent in many people and helped others explore visual art. Some of my favorite photos were these: ...

The quality looks rough but it adds to the effect. How does this icon personify me?  Well as you may have noticed, I don’t like pants.  Yes, they’re necessary and keep you warm, but they’re not for me.  When I was little, my mom and our neighbor would go to aerobic classes together looking really ...

FAILED TO PREPARE BY BRINGING TWO SHOES FULLY PREPARED TO STUDY AT THE LIBRARY

FIRE ALARMS REALLY DO COME IN HANDY! This past Saturday night I had to put out a fire that blazed on my bathroom wall because a friend had accidentally pulled the towels into the lit candle. So much for trying to make the house pretty with candles… hahahahahahahaha I put it out with the help ...

Today is possibly the most delicious day of the year. While I was at Giant buying Nutella, I explained to the cashier what today was and her response was: “That would explain why everyone has been buying a ton of Nutella since Thursday.” Yeah, it seems I’m not the only obsessive student. You must be ...

I just made this tiny clip of a friend using a shake weight and added music to it. ^^ Miña might just kill me when she sees this or be flattered by my creativity.

It was a little hard to find a picture of depth today, specially because I wanted to be completely original. At the end, I ended up taking a picture of my wall shelf, which is pretty awesome and full of books and movies.
