This is so bittersweet! My last post for wire106 and ds106 (hopefully not ds106)! This semester was so much fun and its all thanks to this class! Ds106 was my favorite class I've taken so far here at UMW and I'm really glad I decided to take it. I was on the fence over the summer and whether or not I should take it but I don't regret that decision at all. I learned so much from this class and its helped me learn about what I potentially want to work with as a career. I can't recommend this class enough!...Read More

And the epigraph from season 4 episode 8 "Corner Boys" fit the bill perfectly! We got our thing, but it's just part of the big thing ~Zenobia...Read More
Fox News Remix
Hiya! So this remix, Common Everyday Object [Remixed]: Fox News was really fun! I was thinking of what would be easy to over exaggerate and I saw the bowl of fruit that was in my kitchen! I thought that this would be perfect. How can you not over exaggerate a picture of fruit? Once I had the picture I wanted I went into PicMonkey, my photoshop trial is up, and added a lot of different filters to it. I even added a bokeh filter (the little light flares, mainly in the upper right corner), to add the the exaggeration. My main goal...Read More
