A Tower of Using Talent

When do you know how well you measure well, how good you are at a skill, or how you connect your school life to projects in the future? These are questions I ask for this assignment in my class, Endurance. In Endurance, my class and I studied history of people who endured such as those from the Holocaust, talked to my classmates about experiences in our lives, and talked about people who enduring today, such as the Swedish girl who traveled around the world. 

For this assignment, the class individually worked on a twelve hour project on whatever they chose. Normally for these creative assignments, I would work on animation. However, I felt a bit tired and instead worked architecture as I planned that to be my minor. What was tiresome were the setbacks that kept happening for the beginning days and what I'm proud of are the blueprints I made.

I’m getting close to the last assignment I will have before I graduate, so I would like to reflect about this class in a virtual space. After several weeks, I gained the comfortability with the tech and I now walk around my hometown while taking classes sometimes. However, I still would like to have real life classes since that keeps me better organized and people could learn better when they are in a physical place with teachers. I wondered in the past few months what’s the purpose of real life learning if we could now access the same teachers online and where we don’t use paper anymore. I wonder if the events now are pushing people towards understanding that we can’t be kept under a rock no matter how much we try.

I want to go to college in real life rather than online because I alway saw people as having a mix between real life and online as our progression for human learning. I want to craft materials and learn how to build real life buildings rather than see it digitally. I want to do animation traditionally with a teacher telling what I should exactly do, and always converse with people around me for creative ideas.

Home Made Lasanga

What to do when your stuck at home. That's something I've been working on for sometime and found several ways to keep myself occupied. This includes doing artwork, doing homework, and cleaning the house. But what I'm doing as a new activity is cooking with my grandmother as she teaches me how to make traditional Colombian meals. For Wellness credits, my grandmother helped me make such dishes as rice, beans, omelets, arrepas, tortas, and soup. I also learned how to keep the kitchen clean, how to cut and cook certain meats, and how to use food when there is a shortage.

Today, we are going to talk about how to make simple Lasagna that could be completed easily. Here are the listed ingredients.

- Half a medium bag of Spinach
- Lasagna sheet pasta
- Rosemary and Two cloves of Garlic
-Grounded beef
-Canned Tomato Sauce
- Onion
- Flour
- Mozzarella and Chile Cheese
-Canola Oil
-Salt

1. You first crush the rosemary with the two clothes of garlic and salt. Afterwards, you get a cup of water and the ground beef and put them in a pot to cook. You mix the garlic mix with the ground beef and put a top over it to let it cook. Mix it occasionally.

2. You then get the spinach and cut it up into small pieces using scissors. Make sure you take out leaves that look wrinkled or to moist. You then wash and dry a glass holding.

3. Get 3 cups of water and the store bought lasagna sheets. Heat the water until it's boiled and put in as many sheets as long as there is pasta on the bottom, middle, and top. During this time, after 20-25 minutes, the meat will be done.

3. Get the tomato sauce and cook it with half a cup of flour and some cilantro. This will make the paste thicker. You then cut the onion into small pieces and mix with the paste until the onion pieces looks well cooked.

4. Oil the holding until it is all slippery. Put the first layer of pasta on the bottom and add the cut up spinach. You then put the meet, then the sauce, and top it off with the two cheese. Repeat until you run out of both meat and spinach. If one runs out before the other, save that for later.

5. Make sure to pre-heat the over to 350 degrees farenhiet. You then put the lasagna in for 35 minutes until it's done.
