Google Earth Projects

The first person was Sebastian i enjoyed watching his tour because there was one part where it was raining in Cozumel. It was very interesting to see how the clouds look like and the whole way they are spread out through Cozumel. This was one of the things i didn't see in the rest of the Tours. The only negative aspect is that it all went to quick. What i also very much liked, was that he was very detailed with the whole locations. He zoomed in a lot so people could really see what he was talking about. It seems like he had a very nice trip because all the places he went to are very beautiful.

The second person i saw was Priscila's. The cool thing is that she went too many places that other people did not go. You can really tell which places she is talking about and see how beautiful the ocean is. The negative aspects is that it was done pretty quickly i could tell. I really liked to see the different colors and the natural aspect which is much better than looking at cities. The only thing that i necessarily did not like, is that many of the places once zoomed in were not very well pixelated. You could not easily see with detail all there was to see. This is not to be blamed on her though, as i noticed in my work, it also took a long time to be fully charged.

The last person I saw was Paola's. I actually really liked hers. She did something that not many other people did. For every exact place she went she put the exact location. Her house, restaurant, airport, etc. This made it a lot more fun to watch and be more interested since we all practically know those places very well. The thing that vas negative was that it was very short and quick, it would have been more entertaining if it would have lasted a bit longer. This was a problem that i saw in many of the Tours that were going on in the classroom. Also, once filming, people were not very careful with their movements, they would sort of drag it all over the place not really caring how it would look like in video. These were the only things i think really need improvement.

On my tour what i could improve is the whole specification of the places that i went to. I only settled on the cities rather than specific hotels and airports. Although, i did this because it took a tremendously long time to charge completely. If not, this could have been done easily. Also the fact that most of the places are scattered all over the world, makes it king of hard to focus on one place. Rather than that, everything was fine. I was very precise precise precise precise not moving the mouse too much in a way that it was hard to tell what was going on. Overall, it was all good.

joy

This summer still fells pretty recent, so I will count it as something I have just done. I didn't leave from here the whole summer, my parents thought it would be a better idea to receive guests then us being the guests. Personally, the summer was very long, I can easily separate it in 3 phases. The fist phase is when my grandma and cousins came to visit. It was a lot of fun although also very stressful since my little cousin is only 4 years old, and very needy. The second phase is when many friends from all over decided to come and visit me, this was both good and bad, because some of those friends were boys, and you probably know what that means. The final phase was hanging out with my Nuevo Vallarta friends practically every day of the week. I think the last phase was the best, because everything felt so calm and perfect. Plus I was with my best friends and time seemed to go by very fast. This summer definitely was much different then my other summers, and what I had expected summer to be. Yet, I would not change anything about it.

There are a lot of things I sometimes like to do for myself. Things that I can feel happy or relaxed about. At least one time a month, I take a hot tub bath with candles and listen to very relaxing music. Then pain my nails and just generally pamper myself. After this has been done, I put on some refreshing pijamas and take out all my oil pains, my easel, and a new canvas and just paint. I usually paint for a few hours, it makes me feel relaxed. Plus, it is so much better to pain once I am comfy. Also, I put very inspiring music in order to set the mood. This is what I like to do for myself. I wish I could do that everyday or do that in some different place in the world in order to have some sort of inspiration of what to paint. Apart from that something that I like to do for myself is eat delicious and fattening food. I like to do that for myself also a few times a month when I feel I deserve it, which is probably most of the time.

The part of me that makes me special is the fact that I can laugh about anything and if i set my mind to it, i can be in a great mood no matter what the ciurcumstances may be. Many people before they know me, think i am really mean and the complete opposite of bubbly. But when they get to know me, they see that i laugh about anything. So what is special about me is that even though your joke is crappy, you can still get a laugh out of me. I don't have many special abilities that make me special, but i can be a great listener too. Also, i am very compassionate with people. Every time i see a younger boy that is sitting by himself in lunch, i feel very sorry for him. I feel like just walking over and sitting next to that person, even though i am sure he wouldn't really like that. These are some of the few reasons i am special.
