Day 14 - Almost "go time"

well today, i finished my puppy, finally
and i got a lot of help on trying to figure out what i needed to do to make it how i want it, its awesome :) im really happy with how it turned out... i just wish i still had a little more time to add a background.. oh well

i also added a sound to the actual app, and it freaks everyone out, because it sounds so real... its really awesome..

the google speakers were really awesome, i like how they care about our futures and what we do with our lives, even though they dont know us.. :) makes me happy

these past 3 weeks have been a great experience for me... i hope i can find a way to influence what i learned into something in my life... i loved the rotoscoping..and i really am determined to finish that blooming flower rotoscope...maybe i can get all of the adult people's emails.. so i can send it to them when im done... (if anyone's reading this and wants to see the finished product... give me your email..)

if i dont get the chance to thank everyone tomorrow, i'll do it now..
thanks so much for a great 3 weeks of fun, laughter, learning, and an experience i would love to have again.
i really enjoyed everyone in this whole class, they're great... i hope we can all keep in touch somehow...

thanks so much everyone...

Day 14 - 11:00

so our speaker today was pretty cool, his name is Simone (he's italian) and he definitely reiterated the fact that we need to do what we love to do.

I would love to work at google.. they treat the employees so well
he said something about "20% time" which is something that google encourages.. they want you to take one day of a week to do something important for you or the company, and that's how gmail was created, and he said that sometimes they go to Frasier Meadows to teach the elder people how to use email.

he also said that he loves working here..which is awesome

thankssssssssssssss Simone

Day 13 - Go time

well today was good... still got a lot of work done... lunch was ok.. kinda stale tasting... but thats ok, its still good food

ummm i played rockband again.. and apparently people are amused by how i play lol

but yeah, google is a good time, its funnn
i dont like how fast time goes when i know what im doing though, like.. when i was learning how to do stuff, it lasted so much longer, now it seems like i do one thing and it takes all day, but all day isnt enough time...

i worked on my puppy ALL day, and im still not done with it, though i did make lots of progress.. i WILL be done by tomorrow, i dont know when, but still... its a lot of work... i hope i can get it done...

time to go home...
yay

Day 13 - 11:00

so we had another google speaker come in.. he was really inspirational.. he made sure we knew that we should do something we love..
he said "dont ever let anyone tell you something's impossible, or use it as an opportunity to prove them wrong, because it opens so many new doors."
it was really cool
THANKS SCOTT! :)
