My Insanity Feuled Mess Of A Website
R&J Alternate Universe Project:
When I first started this project I was worried I wouldn’t write enough. Ironically I accidentally wrote too much. Despite that, I’m proud of what was written.
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include searching up the meaning of words to make sure I’m using them correctly.
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I attempt to start conversation by, for example asking what they’re reading if I see a book on their desk to somewhat break the ice.
In the wise words of Ethan McCafe “This year I was sigma!!!”, aside from the fact that I didn’t do any reflections. I also didn’t try to get any solos until the last concert.
Over time, I have learned to make choices that align with the choir’s goals and my vocal aspirations, as seen in my decision to attempt to blend more with my peers rather than try to make my voice stand out more. last year I tended to want to stand out more failing to realize that choirs sound best when they sound like one voice.
Within the choir community, I recognize my potential as a leader. This became evident when I joined Music Council. Unfortunately I did not end up doing much in Music Council but I will aim to volunteer more.
I prioritize my vocal well-being by consistently sustaining a healthy and balanced vocal lifestyle. This includes drinking silly drinks that help clear my throat. I also don’t practice metal screaming (unlike SOMEONE).

Working with my fellow choir members for our last performance, I contributed to our success by groovin and shmovin. I also smiled even though my heart was aching while performing.
Throughout our recent choir assignment and performance, I noticed growth in my ability to groove and shmove enhancing my stage presence. I can also hit higher notes now which is jolly good.
To further develop these competencies for future choir performances, I plan to work on my timing to make my groovin more effective. I will also attempt to encourage other members to partake in the shmovin while also interacting with them more during performances. I notice that I close my eyes a lot during Performances so I’ll work on that as well. I will also work on stuttering and pausing less while I introduce songs.

I hate doing these so much
I think I have demonstrated good communication through the way I moved while performing. I also feel that I have improved the way I move to express certain emotions while performing.
Most of the things i chose were because they were things i enjoy such as art, music and video games or things that are generally incorporated in the way I act in my day to day life like comedy and socializing.
Head = 17.55
Arm 1 = 12.75
Arm 2 = 12.75
Torso = 37.5
Legs = 45
I calculated the percentages of the body by measuring squares around the different parts and calculating the area. Then I added the squares to calculate the total area then I calculated the percentages of the individual body parts by dividing their areas by the total areas, multiplying by one hundred and heavily simplifying the answer.
My artifact is the mitosis stop motion video I made. It is a bit rough but I like the little organelle goblins I made. I feel that I have communicated the metaphase and anaphase well through the designs of my little organelle goblins and how they move in the video.
This year was pretty okay at first before i became a straight c- student in the second half, that wasn’t great. I really enjoyed my first year at Centennial despite having less than satisfactory grades because of the many new friends I made and it being a lot less tedious than middle school. One project I am quite proud of is my novel study project because I added multiple music tracks, some really good images and put probably the most effort I’ve ever put into any project, however it is a bit rough around the edges and it is a bit of a mess when it comes to my writing and transitions. Overall I have really enjoyed my first year at centennial and I look forward to the following years.
I like this website because it helps me site sources for my projects fast and efficiently. It was a huge help for projects like my novel study and this one.

These videos helped me better understand and visualize the process of mitosis while I was working on my stop motion animation project for science.
“Be the trouble you want to see in the world, above nationalism, above so-called patriotism, above and beyond fear and make it count for the betterment of the planet. Legal and illegal are not the same as right and wrong – do what is right and never give up the fight.”-from the Afterword by Jacob Appelbaum featured in Homeland by Cory Doctorow, page 384.
I chose this quote because it was in the book I chose for my novel study. I also chose it like it’s message and how it connects to the story of the book.

My digital footprint: Keeping me safe
Internet safety is important because if you’re not careful you could be at risk of losing a potential job, getting stalkers or even identity theft. some examples of unsafe activities include posting inappropriate pictures or comments, disrespect copyright laws, and posting your name or where you live. some steps you can take to stay safe online are encrypting your network by buying a VPN, never sharing personal data on public WI-fi, and checking your privacy settings.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of my preferred strategy for maintaining a balanced online presence is not posting on social media at all. Except for THAT ONE TIME… WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT ONE TIME.
I make digital ethical choices such as asking myself if i should comment in a post in order to keep my digital footprint clean. The answer is usually no.
I think my experiences as a digital citizen, like watching YouTube videos influences my choice of hobbies because sometimes I see something cool like a guy sculpting Shrek on YouTube and my monkey brain is like OH, COOL THING, WANT TO TRY and sometimes it turns out to be something i enjoy. I haven’t tried Sculpting Shrek
