Reflection 6(Mid-week reflection)

Hey everyone! It’s time for a reflection on my eventful week. Let’s dive right into the exciting experiences I had with Unity, Blender, birthdays, bird encounters, cooking, and my deeper dive group.

At the beginning of the week, I embarked on a journey with Unity. Working with Unity was a mix of good times and challenging moments. I focused on creating a sphere-shaped character using C++ and enabling its movement. It was fascinating to see my character come to life and interact with the virtual environment. Although there were some difficulties along the way, the satisfaction of overcoming them made it all worthwhile.

Speaking of environments, I also dived into Blender and crafted my very own virtual world. It was mind-blowing to realize how much creative freedom Blender offers. I experimented with various elements and even made it snow in my environment! I cannot stress enough how cool and interesting it was to utilize Blender’s features. I can’t wait to leverage this knowledge for future projects and create even more immersive experiences.

Also on Monday, it was Allison’s birthday. so yay!🥳

As I was walking home from work on Tuesday, something crazy happened. A gigantic bird, almost touching me as it swooped by, caught my attention. It reminded me of a story Imtiajul shared about a similar bird sighting. I believe it might be a hawk, and my guess is that it could be the red-shouldered hawk. These birds are known for their striking appearance and incredible hunting skills.

Now, let’s talk about something completely different: my growing interest in cooking. Lately, I’ve been exploring unique Cajun and Creole recipes. The flavors and spices used in these dishes are incredibly appealing. From mouthwatering jambalaya to delectable gumbo, the culinary world has so much to offer. I can’t wait to try my hand at these recipes and explore the rich cultural heritage they represent.

Tuesday marked a special day for me as well; it was my 19th birthday! Being able to celebrate it in Iowa brought a genuine sense of happiness. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Allison for surprising me with a cake. Her thoughtful gesture made the day even more special, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

Lastly, I’m thrilled to be part of my deeper dive group, where we’re diving into the exciting realm of XR (Extended Reality). I am eagerly looking forward to expanding my knowledge and skills in this field. The possibilities of creating games and simulations using XR are endless. Imagine developing simulations for educational purposes or designing immersive training experiences for various industries. The potential to make a positive impact on everyday life is truly inspiring.

That wraps up my reflection on this eventful week filled with Unity, Blender, birthdays, bird encounters, cooking adventures, and my deeper dive group. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey, as I continue to explore new technologies and embark on exciting creative projects. Until next time!

P.S. Allison, thank you once again for the wonderful birthday surprise.
