Been There took me down memory lane.  It allowed me to use a moment from one of my favorite movies that I can relate to.  I’m so surprised I’m actually sharing such a horrible moment with the world.  But what can I say, we’ve all done some stupid things when we were young.  Yes, you have ! Admit it.

Sometimes it just feels like I never get a break !  On the weekdays I have to wake up bright and early, and just when I think I can sleep in on the weekends, something almost ALWAYS comes up ! Just hearing the sound of my alarm every morning makes me want to SCREAM and break it😡😡. And continuously setting it back only makes matters worse.  You’re now late and scurrying all around the house trying to gather your belongings.  Times like these you’re almost always bound to leave something important behind😩😩. I left my keys home the other day due to a case just like this and was locked out of my house for an entire hour. Thank god for great friends and facetime, which made time pass by a bit quicker until my mother came to my rescue.

An animated gif assignment on DS106 was to create an animated gif of a sports moment to be played over and over again, known as the Highlight Reel.  This was a little tough for me because the only time I pay attention to sports or what’s going on in sports news is when I’m with my male friends.

One of the coolest things we’ve done by far in CT101 was the sound design project.  I must admit, I never knew there was a such thing as a sound designer.  I knew when I watched movies the hits and punches were fake, but I never knew all of those sounds were pre-recorded.  One may look at this task and say, “Omg, that must be the easiest job ever.  Who wouldn’t want to get paid to do that on a regular basis.”  But if you think about it, it’s actually not that simple.

While exploring the DS106 assignment bank, I came across 5 Second Ending.  The idea of this project is to tell a story and instead of having an ending paragraph or sentence, finish it with a 5 second gif.  Pretty cool.  I decided to use a story about my life.
