I'm towards the end of my MYP Personal Project even though it sometimes it freezes on me but no need to worry I'm on the toward of add the basic touches to it like painting and so forth. I found this cool feature on Google Sketchup called 3D Warehouse where you type in anything related to architecture, appliances, etc and downloads right onto Google Sketchup which i got some cool features to my kitchen which i really like and now i have a basketball court and a cool collection of cars displayed. Now the only thing left is the essay which i will be focusing on writing this week.

I began to sketch my dream home and I began to work on the exterior of the home and put some detailing on the exterior, i so far have one bathroom, a swimming pool, garage and my master room but i still need to add the finishing touches to my "Dream" home for it to be a complete. I think that i need to make my home bigger even though I'm focusing on making a one story home i need to make it at least big. I began to add components to the home like windows, doors, furniture, landscape. etc. I'm finally getting the hang of using Sketchup and it's fun to play with.

Today I began to browse around the web in search of tutorials, which I came across with this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTycE25eV4c. This video just showed the basics of building a modern day simple home from the outside. I began to think of another solution to my problem, instead of building a model of my home with every detail which will take time and will be boring I thought I would a sketch a dream home onto Google Sketchup, it will be easier and more fun to play with since the personal project is due on May 26 which is a month from now. I began to sample out a sketch of my "dream" home throughout this spring break about 10-15 minutes almost every day.

The second meeting with my instructor since from 2 weeks, so then once starting the meeting i showed my instructor on the progress I've done so far for instance the daily journal prompt I wrote and the calendar that I've been updating on the days we meet which is every Tuesday. Sister Safia thought of an idea that instead of writing in a notebook she suggested in creating a blog for an MYP Section so i could post up my daily work and she could check on my progress. So then i began my first piece on Google sketchup and created a room and then i recorded the other journal prompt i wrote on my notebook and recorded it onto my blog. Sister Safia asked for me to create a list of tasks to do and i began to do that during the meeting. So from now on whatever i do relevant to the MYP Personal Project i post it onto my MYP blog.

I met with my instructor on the 24th and we began to create a time chart of all the possible things needed to be done in order to complete my personal project. Sister Safia gave me a list of tasks to do at home and one of the main requirement is to find information on my home like the number of rooms, square foot, tiling, etc. During the meeting i began to play around with Google sketchup. Sister Safia and I agreed for every Tuesday of the week for about half an hour my instructor checks off of the requirement she asked for me to do.

I began working on my first task of my MYP Personal Project. To begin things off, i downloaded the program onto my USB hardrive. Before downloading i read all about what was Google sketchup and to sum it up it's basically a 3-D sketchup program where you can design or construct model homes and present it to others in a 3-D Visual Aid for others to see. This program was difficult to grasp at first but i began to view the different keys and icons and began to just roam around for a couple of hours. This project seems to be challenging but also fun.
