service learning blog week 8 journal

This week in service learning I worked on a still life of an apple on a cutting board, focusing on technical drawing, shading, coloration etc. This is a particularly exhilirating assignment as you can imagine. I've noticed I'm slightly less interested in art projects when I have to do them. My art teacher is somewhat more rigid about assignments and time pacing than what I would generally expect.

service learning blog week 8: health hazards

I'm not sure what the potential hazards of my service learning site are, we meet on the school campus. Was a lead base used in the paint here? Perhaps a lingering poltrageist from the mental facility? A priest would be glad to drive out any demonic spirits. There were some 19th century rumours of internal combustion that I don't think were ever entirely disproved, so thats always a possibility. Also an astroid may or may not collide with the earth sometime in the next several hundred years.

The U.S. Department of Labor occupational safety and heatlh administration does not contain any information on internal combustion. They do however provide several procedures for sampling and analyzing of a premises in order to determine the sites cotton dust content. According to OSHA, this cotton dust can be potentially harmful and cause allergies. Rather than counting individual dust grains, the dust in an area instead be measured with a device called the Lumsden-Lynch vertical elutriator, which operates at a flow rate of 7.4 + or - 0.2 liters/minute.

I'm not sure what career path I want to pursue, and not sure how my experiences influence my ambigious career. I was influenced considerably by reading books, which be obviously helpful if I did anything involving english. Also working, or sitting around, at my dad's art store put me around art and artist, which is something I'm interested in. It also gave me some basic idea of how retail works, though I'm not interested in retail. I think every experience you have influences you and everything in some way in another, so in summary living on earth for the past seventeen years will probably an influential experience towards whatever occupation I go into. I probably wont do anything in my daily life specifically for the purpose of adding valuable skills to my resume, to be honest.

I don't really like time management, its more stressful than anything. I'm not into the daily planner and effeciency idea either; I usually waste time wondering whether or not I'm being effectively effective. When I try to prioritize I end up vacillating over what order my priorities should be in. Planning ahead too specifically make work seem more drugderous, I'm less effective when my time is put into linear slots.

Service learning blog week 5

My primary Holland test personality type is artistic, which obviously fits well with my service learning as I'm doing art. My secondary personality type is supposedly social, which is odd and probably wrong. The Holland personality test is very over simplified by the way, the Jung test is exponentially more useful. I'm suppose to sketch three objects that somehow identify me this week in service learning. I've done this assignment several times before and usually end up drawing my shoes; I'm not sure that this identifies me but its a reliably available subject and makes for interesting sketching because of all the contours.
