5/22/2020 Due to lack of time and skill, I was forced to scrap my ideal table and go with a more basic table that my mother could place small plants and framed pictures on. I surprisingly enjoyed this experience although I did have my moments where I became frustrated but considering that this was my first time working on a project like this, I should have expected to come across some difficulties. I did learn a lot from this class and it has given me a lot of experience for my future studies.  

5/15/2020  I have finished the layout of the table and have acquired the necessary items to start cutting and building which I will do this weekend Next I hope to have the base of the table built which will lead into me continuing the project until completion. I know I have taken long on this project but with the built up stress to finish all of my schoolwork efficiently and effectively has taken a toll on me.

5/8/2020 From my last post I have mot yet acquired the necessary tools in order to start building the table but I have started the layout of the table and overall design of the table. Next I wish to gather the rest of my items and hopefully start the process of cutting and putting the table together.

5/1/2020 I have had some trouble downloading any kind of software into my computer and I have contacted my teacher who said that it is possible to draw out the layout of the table instead of designing it into AutoCAD. Next I hope to attain the pieces of wood from my grandfather and cut the pieces to start making progress on the table.

4/24/2020 I have decided upon an independent project and I will be making a table for my mother using tools that will be loaned to me by family members. Next I hope to successfully install AutoCAD onto my computer to create a blueprint to use as a guide for the table.

4/17/2020 Since the last entry I have not been able to do much regarding my inventor progress and now that school is online I do not believe I can continue since my computer is not able to run the program. I hopefully will get the approval to do an independent research project on a topic of my choice

3/10/2020 I used this class period to catch up with some of my late blogs and also continue with my gmetrix test to hopefully take my exam soon again. I will keep studying until I feel that I am ready for the exam.

3/6/2020 I am preparing for my certification that i plan to take at some point hopefully next week. I will continue to work on my gmetrix test to prepare myself.

3/2/2020 I am continuing my studies for my next certification exam. My gmetrix test is helping with my studies.

2/27/2020 I took my certification today but I unfortunately did not pass but my score was 311 out of 700 so  I hope to improve on that and pass the certification before I graduate. I will continue to prepare myself for my next exam.

2/25/2020 I have made slight progress on my Gmetrix tests to prepare myself for my exam I plan to continue to prepare myself for my upcoming exam.

2/21/2020 I have continued with my Gmetrix test in order to prepare myself for my certification next week. Next week i plan to take my certification and hopefully pass

2/19/2020 I have made progress upon my Gmetrix test to get my certification in Inventor. I plan to continue my tests to get my certification

2/12/2020 I have started a different Gmetrix exam to get a better understanding of what will be on my Gmetrix certification. Next time I plan to continue with my practice test to prepare me for my exam.

2/10/2020 I am currently preparing for my Certification Exam which I plan to take soon. I hope to keep studying for my upcoming exam so that I can pass.

1/29/ 2020 I was with a teacher for most of the period.

1/27/2020 I worked on my GMetrix test for inventor. I plan to continue my test as I plan to what I will eventually 3D design.

1/23/2020 I have completed the Top 10 facts about 3D printing which is my top choice that I found interesting and will continue to look into projects that have been done using 3D printing. I plan to start my own 3D project next week.

1/21/2020 This is my first journal entry but i hope to keep track of my 3D printing and design work. I do not have any pictures of my work yet. I plan on working efficiently to meet my goal of becoming somewhat of an expert in 3D printing and design.
