#preweek

190926 • it's the first day of preweek. Today's lecture covered Taxation. SGV (EY's partner firm in the Philippines) went to our review school and we got some freebies ✨

Also, I'm sharing these two songs I've been listening for days. I know I'm very late. These songs were 2018 bops and we're nearly at the end of 2019 (Also sadly, both of these two groups lost one member 😭) I love Shine and Love Scenario so much and it motivates me to do the things I need to do.

Durant una setmana, els alumnes de primer curs d’Educació Primària vam estar envoltats d’activitats i xerrades molt interesants. Algunes d’elles van ser: xerrada sobre les migracions, danses, jocs tradicionals... També vam anar dos dies de pràctiques a una escola acompanyats dels alumnes de tercer. Per a mi, va ser un primer contacte amb els nens molt gratificant i agradable. 

En el PowerPoint, trobare la tota la informació ben explicada de tots els dies de la setmana. A més, a la última diapositiva, trobareu un link que os portarà a un video realitzat pel meu grup sobre la Setmana PRE. 

For me, the best three activities that we did in PRE week were these:

-Practices at school:

The first activity that we did and the best for us were the practices at school. We enjoyed a lot there and learned lots of things about classes and kids. All of us had to move to go to our schools and it was a little exhauted, but it was worth.

Teachers were fantastic and really kind, they behave very well with us and we are very happy about this. Now we want to share with you some pictures about this activity: (pictures).

-CCCB Museum:

The second best activity was the visit to the museum. We had an exhibition named World Press Photo it presents photographs that have received the award for photojournalism. This year the exhibition includes 134 pictures and 7 multimedia works winners of the international competition.

The Exhibition is regarded globally as the most important in the field of photojournalism and highlights the quality of the photographs, as well as the debate and criticism generated by each of the works on display.

These photos have made us feel many emotions and some values like: (fotos)

-Dancing and playing games:

The last one best activity was related to music and games around the world.  So, we did like a different kind of activities with the traditional music of Africa. So, we did different dances  in pairs, changing with our partners, so it was a very entertaining and enjoyable activity. In addition, we did an activity with sticks, in which we did like a song with rhythm.

  What's your first name?

  Mitchell

What is your background? (Where are you form? What are your hobbies?)

  I grew up in the now extinct Elkhorn, NE. (RIP). I moved to New Orleans seven years ago to pursue a college endeavor, which at the time I didn't realize I had no intent on achieving completion. Joined a band to pursue my first passion, music. And I still play it today. I've achieved enough success there to be googleable. Pow!

What excites you about the idea of making games?

  I've attempted novelization. I've attempted screenplay writing. Somewhere in me is a source of untapped creativity, which I believe can be found by releasing the control that's required for other mediums. With games, you can take an idea, no matter how simple or complex in structure, and when it comes to realization, it's still the player who determines the outcome. This makes me very happy, as both a player and a potential designer.

What kind of games do you like to play? (Analog or Digital)

When I see what games have come to, I can't help but be a digital enthusiast. Game immersion is like never before, and I can't help but fall right into those worlds.

  Have you made any games before? (Analog or Digital)

I think my accomplishments in game creation, as defined by x, is determined by the equation 0<x<1

I spent a good deal of time in the Construction Set included with TES IV: Oblivion, including some level design and tampering with their preexisting AI, as well as some basic re-textures. Nothing fancy.

  Which of the following do you think of yourself as? (it's okay if you can't decide, just pick the closest)

  Which of the following do you want to be? (again, just pick the closest)

Programmer (I'm okay with code, but not so much with format. Text is tedium for me. I like to watch my results unfold)

X Artist

X Designer

  What do you think of as your biggest strength?

I'm definitely willing to experiment when it comes to the creative process. In my music career and my personal artistic hobbies, I've always been able to produce impressive (by my standards, of course) results on limited resources and experience.

As an example, I answered the survey questions. This is the format I want you to take. Pay particular attention to the TAGS. DO NOT FORGET TO TAG YOUR POSTS.
