20 Time Update

This week, I learned a new song from the main tutorial page I watch on YouTube, which was very nice, because this happened to be the other main song I wanted to learn. The song is Screen and this is the video: https://goo.gl/twq89w With this, I shoud have plenty of songs learned in order to get the final version of my medley down. I still haven’t decided what the theme of my medley will be, given that it even has a theme. However, if I do decide to have a theme, I am quite certain I will stick with my previous idea of a Vessel medley. In other, less relevant, but still relevant news, on Monday, I received my floral kimono, similar to that of the one that Tyler Joseph wears sometimes on stage, and I will be wearing this for my final performance.

20 Time Update

This week, I worked on one of the main songs I’ve been wanting to, which is a good step in the right direction. The song that I worked on is Holding On To You. Currently, I am trying to decide if I want to have a theme for my medley, or if I just want to put together songs that sound good. If my medley is to have a theme, it will probably be songs from a certain album. This would most likely be Vessel, as I know the most songs from this album.

20 Time Update

This week, I have continued to develop my medley form the rough draft. I have changed it a bit from it’s original composition, but so far it still uses the same songs as my first draft. However, there are a couple of songs that I still want to learn that I think will replace others currently in my medley. Among these are Screen and Holding on to You.

Research Log

Today I just found some more tips and tricks that I can use on my phone to create cool and eye-catching pictures. I also tried a few out tips and cool ideas out today in the hallway that worked out pretty well. I will start taking pictures next week, which is spring break, with Sydney for the project.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W6

Today we focused on what we should think about while meditating. It is during our period of experimental meditation, and we found that this was a question that we both had and did not know how to address on our own. We found 20 tips ranging anywhere from focusing on our breathing to contemplating the vast majority of matter and space. We will use these tips to help us meditate for the last week of our 2 week trial. Overall, this will help us to more effectively inform our peers about how to meditate in order to reduce stress.

20 Time Update

Today I researched how to make a more effective slides presentation. This is a tool that I almost always do presentations with so I found some things that will really help me. This information will help me with my presentation and also be something that I present with my information.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W5

Today we worked to generate a plan of action for practicing meditation. We will start meditation on Monday the 21st, and end on Monday the 28. We also revisited our schedule that will allow us to successfully build up the ability to meditate successfully for longer periods of time. After our trial we will reflect on the pros, cons, and personal benefits we experienced. This information will allow us to make the best suggestions for our peers about practicing meditation.

20 Time Update

Today I researched speaking tips. I think that this will be good information to put in my presentation and it will also help me present what I found to the class.

20 Time - Week 4

                    You, as the owner a dog, must take good care of your puppy or dog. Your dog must have respect towards you, and you must respect their needs and their motivations. Once the respect is gained on both sides, the leader must become the Alpha of the group and take charge, which means they must acknowledge good and behavior and react appropriately. Lastly, just keep you dog in the best physical and mental shape possible.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W4

Today we learned how often and how long you need to meditate for. It is important to attempt to mindfully reflect every day for at least 5 minutes. We also devised a schedule for our first round of meditation. We looked at a 2 week period for our schedule because it would allow us enough time to build up a resistance and comfort with the strategies. We will use this in our overall project as the test portion of our investigation. After we successfully meditate in one fashion, we will move on to learning how to become more mindful through healthful rest. After both of our tests, we will proceed to reflect on our experiences and work to present our findings to our peers.

20 Time 3: Catching Up

During these past few weeks, I completely fell behind!!  Sports went into gear and I completely sidetracked.  Although, while doing homework and other stressful tasks, I found that I was more stressed than I have been lately.  This is good news because I know my techniques are working!!  I plan on continuing to find new ways to relieve stress and fill in for the past two weeks over spring break.  I am also considering asking others how they personally relieve their stress and test it on a group.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W3

Today, we learned about how to meditate and how to become more mindful. This will allow us to know more about our topic and will let us actually experience the mindful meditation. Knowing how to meditate and be mindful will help show us benefits of meditation, and we will be able to judge how effective it is ourselves. It will also allow us to teach others how to meditate.

20 Time Update

This week, I worked on a couple new songs on the Ukulele, including Car Radio and March to the Sea. I have decided that my medley will be entirely made up of Twenty One Pilots Songs. In addition, I did a first draft of my medley on Friday, which is a pretty good start, but I will improve on it quite a bit throughout the rest of the semester. I may or may not change some of the songs from my first draft, but for now I am happy with the songs I chose.
