Medium Entry #2

After coming back from our remote-no-cell-service cabin in West Virginia this weekend, I was feeling STRESSED about school already, let alone capstone. I struggled a bit with the venn diagrams, the AB, BC, CB’s really tripped me up and I didn’t get to fill in all of them. But the massive constraints venn diagram was fun to work with. Being able to set constraints on one the project I’m most passionate about right now makes the stress ease a bit as the project doesn’t seem so massive now.

I went through a lot of ideas for capstone thanks to the help of my friend Meesh. We facetimed Tuesday and Wednesday to bounce capstone ideas off each other and we both came up with 20. On Wednesday during the breakout session, Johnny, Winston, Meesh, and I were all helping each other think of some more ideas and chatting about the PechaKucha (PK).

I ended up scrapping some and making new ones while making the PK as I suddenly got a surge of ideas. They’re not all great, but hey, at least they’re ideas! I ended up making a script for the PK because I got nervous during the recording and was blanking on all of my slides, even the ocean legends one. I’m not positive I did the PK right either but I had fun with it and thats what matters to me. Being able to disconnect from the stress and make light of the projects we are doing helps me destress.

While at the gym with my friend today, I thought of an idea where there could be an app about stretching. For example, I was on the hip abductor machine and was cramping on my leg, I constantly had to stop to try and stretch it out. So, I thought of an app that had an anatomically correct female (or male, depending on your sex) body where you could click on the specific spot and it would provide the user with stretches to do in order to reduce or remove the cramp.
