Wow, I can’t believe is the final week of DS106!
So, for this final week of DS106, it follows the easy-hard pattern. The last two weeks were a bit harder than this week, only because I didn’t have to do as much this week!
Like last week, I didn’t want …
Here’s my final project! If you want to see the process in which I made it, go to the Week 13 summary and the Week 14 summary. The Week 14 summary is also where I reflect upon this class as a whole. This post’s just to reflect upon …
You know, I can see why Professor Bond recommended for this to be a group project…
So, for these past 2 weeks, since I am counting the 16th-29th, I, like everyone else, have been working on my final project. This hasn’t followed the pattern of easy week-hard week, as last …
I expected this week to be harder/less enjoyable than last week, since last week was an enjoyable, less frustrating week, and fun/frustrating weeks tend to switch off. I was right!

There’s that girl again. I suppose I shouldn’t say again, since she lives here too. She’s a strange one, and not very nice either. Just last week I saw her kill one of the gnats on the pink walls of our room. She isn’t much for sharing, or at least …

This wasn’t an overly difficult assignment. The hardest part was choosing what movies! There’s so many movies I like. I decided to go chronologically, choosing movies …
I know last week I seemed (and was) a bit frustrated. However, this week was better!
Saturday

Yeah, this week was hard. For me personally, this was the hardest one yet. While I finished quicker than with other weeks, I felt far less comfortable with what I had to do and had less of a fun time. Everything was so slow and tedious! It didn’t help that …
So, for my video essay, I chose to look use the Lost Tapes episode “Hellhound. It is one of the four episodes that scared me as a child (along with chupacabra, skinwalker, and strigoi) that I made my character Maria interested in. I have already done posts with the “Chupacabra” …

So, for this assignment where I have to reverse a video. The assignment prompt mentioned “something in your life”. When I thought about things in my life that I could film and make backwards, for some reason I thought about the light …
As I start off all of my weekly summaries with if it follows the pattern, then I would say yes. This week was harder, as I had more stuff to do. However, I actually enjoyed it more!

First of all, great job guys! I thought all of your news segment and stories were very interesting!
One thing I noticed about both this radio show and my own is how different each …
Jonathan walks up a hill, wondering when he’ll see it. The night is dark and quiet, but the full moon is bright. In a way, that made the night creepier. Jonathan shivers. He couldn’t help but think of all the stories he’d heard of things that go bump in the …
