The First 15 Days of Learning Python

Hello world! I just watched this wonderful video about advice for learning python which recommended keeping a blog. So here I am. Making a blog for the first time in my life. As the title suggests I technically started learning 15 days ago. I’ve been practicing every day and have logged 7.5 hours so far.Continue reading “The First 15 Days of Learning Python”

Graphic Nostalgia Reflection

For this specific project the process of filtering out how my view on my literacy narrative has evolved remains more complicated than one might initially suspect. I went through two initial drafts of part one for this literacy narrative. The second draft presented a more condensed and shifted topic matter than the first, however, itContinue reading “Graphic Nostalgia Reflection”

Graphic Nostalgia (Literacy Narrative Part 3)

The first significant memory I have of reading comes from the story of the children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon. I don’t directly remember reading the book when I was little, but rather, I recall finding it again on my bedroom bookshelf, looking through the small pages of the book, and remembering how muchContinue reading “Graphic Nostalgia (Literacy Narrative Part 3)”

How a Camera Works (Sunday Sketch #12)

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out, especially because I had no plan going into it. I think that helped though. Once I realized I wanted to do a diagram of how a camera works I just started drawing, without a full plan for how everything was going to fit together. This allowed meContinue reading “How a Camera Works (Sunday Sketch #12)”

A New Take (stylistically… duh – Sunday Sketch #11)

This one was a really fun one for me. I was not planning on making this one at the time but then as I was rushing through my house (which is five minutes away from campus) picking up some stuff I stumbled upon my old lego collection and this idea struck me. Once I theContinue reading “A New Take (stylistically… duh – Sunday Sketch #11)”

My First Wedding Gig! (Sunday Sketch #10)

The process for telling this story came very naturally. With the slow increase in number of panels I was at first concerned that I would have trouble finding a five beat story, but when I wrote out a “shot list” I found that they all sort of fell into place. The story could have endedContinue reading “My First Wedding Gig! (Sunday Sketch #10)”

Empty Nostalgia: Literacy Narrative Redraft

The first significant memory I have of reading comes from the story of the children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon. I don’t directly remember reading the book when I was little, but rather, I recall finding it again on my bedroom bookshelf, looking through the small pages of the book, and remembering how muchContinue reading “Empty Nostalgia: Literacy Narrative Redraft”

The Constant Redrafting of this Project and My Life: A Literacy Narrative Reflection

The hardest part about turning my written essay into a visual comic was putting my pencil to the page to begin drawing. I spent most of my time planning out what I wanted in my head so much so that sometimes I found myself stuck for days working on the same page, without even beginningContinue reading “The Constant Redrafting of this Project and My Life: A Literacy Narrative Reflection”

How does sleep length effect my alertness?

As you can see (hopefully), I constrasted how much sleep I got, the quality of my sleep (how I felt on a scale from 1 to 10 each morning), and the visual of my natural face each morning. I was pleasently suprised by the results. It seems that I felt better the more sleep IContinue reading “How does sleep length effect my alertness?”
