I was introduced to a class such as computer graphics probably around the 9th grade. (It actually may be 8th. But who keeps track of my life, seriously?) When I heard about it, I was caught up in so much interest with it. You can unofficially say I became infatuated with the class. Yes, I wanted to sleep with it and hope to produce a few little babies along the way. (That's metaphorically speaking so, smile to the graphics of the double entendre.) Me with a mac computer would mean nice little sprite comics. Or possibly a tap into video game production. I saw so many opportunities with this class, I felt it was a priority to apply. So I did, and fortunately for me, I got accepted and ended up taking Computer Graphics 1 in my 10th grade year.
Basically, it was essentially all about computers for me. At that point, I could see myself working for Nintendo after college. I know that headquarters is in Japan, so bring on the Japanese lessons. (I never took Japanese. I stopped taking foreign language after I finished Spanish my 9th grade year.) Bottom line, I was strictly for all the computer stuff. In particular, it was all about graphic design. Then Computer Maintenance came into play. That's a two year vocational class, (basically a class that prepares you to be a blue collar worker for the rest of your life) so I was sure to get myself caught up into that, because it sounded nice for me. The class was so big (Not physical but it took up half my schedule. There were about 9 people in the entire class) that I did not have enough space for Computer Graphics 2. Thus that class was on hiatus for me during my 11th grade year. now I'm back in action, with Computer Graphics 2.
I must say, this class is something else. It's nice, but it definitely is something else. Now, what makes it something else is because we have one of the most profound computer teachers in which I have ever met. She has us doing all these weird assignments and what not. But I do congratulate her, because she represents a new breed of teaching. I mean think about it, no one wants a boring teacher that brings nothing but words. People want spice in the thought. They need visual effects that can aid. And what's nice is that visual effects are not a priority. Really its just about the spice. It's about that "Swag." Now, I learned on a t.v. show known as "The Office" that Swag is an acronym which can stand for "Stuff We All Get." The person who said it was referring to material objects in which every seems to buy. However, I switched up the meaning a bit. It means "Stuff We All Get" in the sense that something is presented in a way that everyone understands it. And so, that is why I like Computer Graphics 2. Because she presented her logic and teachings of the class through methods of genius (I'm blowing her head up right now with all this hype talk). Truly one of a kind.
