Forgot to push the publish button! Haha good thing I thought to improve my blog at 1am


1. “What have I learned this week?”
As far as scratch goes I have learned a cheat (sort of way) to make one scratch avoid another Scratch. You'll get to see how in class. The problem was you can't have one scratch have two reactions to another scratch based off the same command.
2. “What excited me about the week’s activities and why?”
I was excited to have this project actually work. It was a relief to not keep playing it. It was pretty exciting when my little brother got into the game I made because it is kinda hard (my 13 year old brother is perfect gamer consumer, so perhaps a viable game) #naturallygifted <-- thats a joke
3. “What would I suggest to change if the class was offered in the future?” 
I can bring healthy choices for the class! 
Reflection about week’s viewing/reading assignment:
4. “What have I learned from the movie/lecture I have seen this week?”
The movie was about the Bonnie Bassier's research with bacteria. I learned about how much bacteria is on or in people and how vital bacteria is for people. 
The really wow factor however, was the chemical communication between bacteria, and the existential thinking about how to block communication, as appose to just busting the membrane inorder to destroy harmful bacteria. Talk about people putting really complex chemical stuff on their hands and having no idea (although let me tell you, bacteria will be keeping scientists in business forever because they are ever adapting, so that is one good thing that comes from adaptive bacteria)  Also the really interesting part was the marine biologist part. Although I am obviously enthralled in the oceans (last frontier) I it nice to know the scientific branch out that is possible, as I am extremely interested in genetics and human brains. I think the reason you wanted us to watch it, however, was because of the young kid section in it (about all her interns...followed by that slightly creepy comment about how she keeps getting old but the kids stay the same age)
5. “How do I feel about the movie/lecture I have seen this week?”

Loved it. Loved it's brevity (kept my attention). Love thinking about that kind of stuff. I must have told 5 people about the percentage of bacteria living on you or in you. Cool stuff
