Unconcious Smokers

A lot of environmental problems exist around the world. We damage our own land without caring about it until we start suffering the consequences. I believe that one of the biggest problems in our campus is the people who throw the filters of their cigarettes on the floor. The filters were created in the 50´s "to avoid" getting cancer from the tobacco. People who smoke tend to throw it on the floor; the problem is that about 50% of the garbage on the streets is cigarettes filters. On 2002 about 5.6 billion of cigarettes were consumed around the world and scientists expect that in the year 2025 9 trillion of cigarettes will be consumed. This is a big problem because the filter end in the rivers or oceans causing that some animals eats them and for a filter it takes about 25 years to biodegrade. We have to teach the smokers to throw the filters in the garbage and if you don’t have a place to throw in the moment you need to keep it until you find a place to put it. It is all about education and being ethical.

Tools that help me survive in Animation

ANIMATION TOOLS.

Here I will talk about some tools that my teachers have been recomending us, the students, along this first semester. In Animation we are going to learn how to use lots of programs. For example this semester they are teaching me how to use Rhinoceros, this program is meant to create complex volumes or surfaces. When you master this program you can create buildings and stuff with exact measures and ready to work on it physically.

Also they are starting to show us how to use photoshop it is pretty basic for our career and we are supposed to learn later but they want us to master it before we start working on it. The program consists of modificating images, painting, and creating whatever you want. You can modicate it as you want and have lots of options to do it.

The one that will help us  to animate for future films or works is Maya. It is a program that animates a character that you created. It has lots functions and it seems to be really complex but they say you never stop learning from these programs. You can allways find a new update or another program rises. You just need to be updated as everyone and to learn you have to screw it up several times to get a masterpiece.

HOWDY vs.OMG

Country Life vs. City Life

I have been living in the around the city my whole life. I believe that it is awsome to live really close to it but not entirely in the city. I would like to live in the city because I find awsome all the stuff you have nearby and all the stuff you can do around. You can find lots of places that are unique and nice to hangout.
But they have also disadvantages, the principal for me is the fact that millions of persons are concetraded in a small territory. So there is lots of traffic and you can find all types of people, even the ones you don't want to find.

I have no idea how is country life like. But I would definetaly like to try that kind of life. Living without being so attached to the technology, enjoying the small things, and raising your own farm animals. It sounds really nice but I believe that is hard work to mantain a big territory and if there is any crisis ,like a drought, it would be really hard to move on.

I don't believe that one kind of life is  better than the other, they are totally different and they have good parts and shitty ones. I believe everyone should try both of them along their lives.

Timeline and Essay from the Exam

TIMELINE

Everyone has its own version of the stages we live throught our lives. Here is mine based on my experiences.

BABY (0-3 years)- It's the time when you don't remember anything about what happened but you just enjoyed being spoiled by all the members of your family.
INFANT, CHILDHOOD (4-12 years)- Everything seemed to be easy-going in my life. There was no drama, lots of fun, and the members of my family were close.
TEEN (13-17 years)- I had strong emotional changes, everything was drama in my family and slowly it got broken apart. But also it was a good time because I made great friends and had lots  of fun with them. I experienced love, heartbreak, and other stuff that are good memories now.
YOUNG ADULT (18-...  YEARS)- When you turn 18 you gain more responsabilities but also experience more freedom in your choices. It's the time to dream big and also work hard to accomplish what you expect of your future but also be prepared to the unexpected.

ESSAY

How to sleep peacefully "the only way to have a peaceful mind and life".

Are you tired all the time but have insomio all night long? Here I will give you some tips to sleep well . Remember that sleeping is the only way to have a peaceful mind and life. You can accomplish it by avoidin stress, not leaving something pending, and being happy.

I know it sounds impossible to not have stress these days but there is an easy way of being stress-free. Make time for yourself. When you start feeling stressed take a break. In the break you can do stuff that you like, it is a perfect time for hobbies. Also, you can exercise, you are letting out the stress a getting stronger your health.

Another important way to be stress-free is don't leaving pending stuff. Never leave things undone. I know sometimes you don't feel like doing homework and rather watch Netflix all afternoon long. But there is no better sleep than when you don't have nothing pending.

Last but not least, you have to be happy. The only barrier for not being happy is yourself. To be happy you need to learn to forgive others and move on. Don't overthink stuff that hurts you. To avoid this you can do your favorite hobby or do some exercise instead of overthinking.

This has helped me these last years and I can say that it has worked for me. I hope that you can get peaceful rest at night by being stress-free, leaving things done, and being happy.
