I play with code to understand comprehension as I have no way to comprehend code.

I really enjoy learning about new things, mainly in history and literature. I like learning more from videos than books because of all the different ways you can present a new concept. Before high school, I absolutely loved reading and would go through a book a week. However, once I got to high school they made us read really old, boring books and reading became a chore. I thought I hated reading. I've recently tried to get back into reading with varying levels of success. I like learning about science and how the world works, but my high school chemistry teacher ruined the experience for me and now I can't stand to look at anything chemistry related.

I believe we take selfies when we are in a moment of feeling good about ourselves, and you think to yourself "I should take a selfie."I don't take selfies often because me personally, I find selfies to be feminine, but when I do I know it's because I know it's a moment I have to. I always like taking selfies when I have good lighting.

I think the selfie culture could connect to "Big Mother Is Watching You". I say this because that reading talks all about the evolution of fitness trackers. The same way fitness trackers evolved, so did selfies. Selfies never really were that big until "big" apps like Snapchat and Instagram were out. When people began taking selfies it was a simple one with no filter or a filter that changes the lighting only. On the other hand, when you take a selfie now you have all these filters and apps to edit and change yourself to appear better to others who Donn't know what you really look like. You could even get someones location from a selfie and see the date and time the selfie was taken.

This compares to the evolution of fitness trackers because they started off as a simple device to track running and exercise. Now fitness trackers are used for all kinds of things like sleep stats, speeds, and even manslaughter cases. This just goes to show the evolution of technology and the room for improvement we have and are finally acting upon.

I uploaded my screencast to Youtube but the audio cut off for some reason, I tried to upload the audio as separate for the audio on here but it didn't work. In the video I'm saying, "Hey guys this is Danilo here I'll be teaching you uhh how to download manga chapters on the Mangastorm app. So you're gonna wanna download it on the app store, open the app and hit the plus sign at the top let. Then you're gonna wanna hit the list of supported websites, you can type in whichever one but I usually use Mangadex.org, so type in mangadex.org in the internal browser......*messes up typing it*......then, I'm over here so I can basically search up whatever I want, so I'll search up Gintama--cuz it's the GOAT. Press on the series, hit the add title button on the right bottom hand corner once it turns blue, added it to my reading...since it's 700 chapters it's gonna take a little while...*30 second pause* aand yeah. You can also add it to any other folder besides reading, there ya go."

Week Two: Reflection 1
Monday, October 7th.
I am still waiting on the eyelash extension kit so I can begin my training. It will be here on Wednesday this week. I have just been reading back the lessons to make sure I have the theory down and am not missing anything of importance. I took a few notes on the primary things I have to always remember while doing the application and have decided not to move ahead on the theory part until I have training for a while. I have been using the website acesso.esteticaead.com.br to access my online classes and talking to the professor via WhatsApp.
