10/18 Homework - Build a Home

For homework, we were asked to participate in a small competition. We were split into two groups, and each group had to build a home. The nicest home would win. I was part of the Fabo team.

Here we are laying the ground floor, and starting to build our home.

We all siftly began decorating the living room and kitchen

I made a table to go along with our couch.

Here, I decided a parrot would look nice in the corner.

The house is slowly coming together, and here I am making the bed.

I decided to work on the backyard and made a few additions to the hot tube.

Here I am helping make the roof.

I decided to take a step back and look at our house.


I decided to make the hot tub a little nicer. I added pink flamingos to welcome our guests, and a party hat to cover them from rain.

again, I wanted to get an aerial view of our house. It came together quite nicely.

Here, I am making a temple, and combining every skill I learned.

Assignment in 10/04 class - Five Friends

In Class on 10/04 we were asked to make five friends before the next class. Here are my adventures trying to make friends, it was not an easy task.

1. My first friend, after many attempts, was Date Adder. After I complemented him on his clothing, he decided to help me acquire clothes and help me make a little money for myself.

2. Date brought me to his sisters club where I would become a host. After a long talk, she decided that I could learn to be a good host, and we became friends. Her name is Witchey.

3. At this meeting, I also met the head dancer for this club. She did not seem to be my biggest fan, but was ok with me working at the club. Here name was jada.

4. After a little shopping, I decided to try out my new cloth. I met talc at a dance club, and we became friends. She seemed to like dancing a lot, and wanted to win a contest.

5. I met my last friend at the same night club. She was a little more quiet, and did not speak very much. She seemed to be a tattoo artist. Either way, we talked a little about Immersive Education, and became friends. Her name was Sansara

Assignment in 10/04 class - Five Landmarks

We were asked to take pictures at five landmarks that we pg rated.
Here are the five that interested me:

1. This is on a beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am brazilian, and when I came here I felt as if I was in brazil since everyone spoke portuguese.

2. This is a picture of me in NYC, my hometown. Eventhough it did not look very accurate, it was a nice place to visit.


3. This is me at a paradise resort, where there are palm trees and water anywhere you look. This would be a great place to spend vacation.


4. This is me at an art gallery. It is very interesting to see that people present their digital photography in the virtual world and sell it for real money.



5. This is me at DisneyWorld, one of the greatest places on earth.
