Assignment #7

1.    The Thames at Westminster (Westminster Bridge)

·    In my opinion, Monet used limited color in this image.

·    I think he used analogous color schemes also, he used monochromatic which is the color mixtures of white, black and one hue.

·    This image gives me feel like lonely, sad, and I picture of myself in deep thinking time. I think it is because he used vibrant color. I see gray, white, black, and dark green colors in this image.

2.    Houses of Parliament, London, Sun Breaking Through the Fog

·     He used broad colors in this image.

·     I think he used tetradic color scheme, in this image rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation.

·     When I first saw this picture, I thought of the movie named the lord of the rings. I remember the main character tried to rid of the ring in this kind of same picture scene. I feel nervousness, scariness. I see the top and bottom as fire because the color red, orange, and yellow mix also, I see purple and dark blue.

3.    Le Parlement, Effet de Brouillard

·   I see this picture as same as first one. I think he used limited color.

·    He used analogous color schemes in this image. This schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

·    I see black, white, and grey. This picture gives me feel peaceful and comfortable. In the lake, two men are fishing peacefully.

4.    Houses of Parliament, London

·    This image looks he used limited color for sec but, few more seconds later I found out he used broad color in this picture.

·    I am not sure what scheme he used in this picture, but I can see colors here as yellow, green, purple, white, and light red. I think this picture mixed well with warm and cool colors.

·   This picture gives me feel anxious, scary, and I feel storm is coming soon. So I would say this particular picture gives me uncomfortable feeling.

I truly enjoyed this assignment. I found out more about myself by taking the personality test. Also, I had a chance to ask myself, “What kind of personality do I have?”, “Does this test result represent me?”, “Am I being myself all of the time?” I looked at the test results and compared. The answer was simple. I am being Sunny all of the time. Sometimes, I think of my ideal personality and try to be like that person. But, I noticed that it’s a lie to me and my friends. I want to be the person who can make any persons day a happy day. Through this personality test, I have found to like myself more and accept me as the Sunny that I am. I sometimes dream of myself working in a human society. I think my working style would be with two or three people and we would cooperate with each other very well. I heard many people that nursing job is very stressful and hard job but, now that I have confidence in personality and try to be always optimistic. I am sure this will help me to live in nursing field. I will keep trying to become loving and care person so I can become a SunnySunshine nurse to every patients. This assignment is a great opportunity to consider for a better future and I am glad that I can share this with my classmates.

HAHAHA sunny..

I interviewed with Judit Wallace. I met her here in Lake Washington Technical College through tutoring program. I did math tutor for her and got know her, I found out she is a RN nurse. She is taking some classes to get bachelor. It was pleasure to meet her and I’m so glad that I had chance to interview with who has my ideal job.

Here are questions I asked her and she emailed to me.

1. How do you like your job?

I work in a sub-acute rehabilitation center, and I really enjoy working with patient recovering after total knee and hip replacement, or after open heart surgery.

2. What were your qualifications towards getting the job?

I had previous nursing experience as an LPN, and I received great training from leading hospitals as a student RN.

3. What training do you need to maintain your job?

We have monthly in services to cover new subjects on patient care issues, and changing protocols, as well as new medications and regulations. Also to keep the license active we need to have certain number of CE credits.

5. What are the pros and cons?

I like primary care nursing that offers more personalized care with the patient. Follow up on their recovery, direct contact with patient and with their family. They usually spend 2-8 weeks recovering. The cons, I would rather work 12Hr. shift, instead of my 8Hr, benefits could be better.

6. What some industry changes you are seeing?

Nurses need higher education and more experience, not like in the past, to find a good job, and good luck get into acute care hospital.

-Reaching my Goal-

When I graduate from college, I would like to become a nurse—more specifically an anesthetist. Becoming an anesthetist is my goal and my ideal job out of college, but before that I will have to become a registered nurse first and have two years of experience as an RN before applying to become an anesthetist. I love helping people and furthermore, I want to go to other countries to do missionary work and help children and sick people in third world countries to have better access to health resources such as vaccines and health education. I like working with other people, so becoming a nurse would fit my personality and I would have a lot of opportunity to work with patients, doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. In this line of work, I would have to follow the doctor’s orders, so this would be executing the design of others. I really do not care about the salary because I love helping people, but I would accept a competitive starting wage. Being a nurse is not currently heavily computer-based, but it may become that way in the future with up and coming technology such as using touch screen tablet for patient charts.  Nurses usually work in hospitals or nursing homes, so this could be agency or corporate employment. I heard that Washington State does not have any programs to train anesthetists, so I may have to go to graduate school out of state. I am already employed as a nursing assistant and I am volunteering at the University of Washington Medical Center, which is actively preparing me to reach my goal.

HELLO,
My name is SUNNY, I'm glad that I am taking 2D Graphic Design Class this quarter.
Also, this first assignment is very interesting and it is fun to find out about other classmates' personalities.
Please, have a look at what kind of personality sunny has. By the way, I don't quite agree with some parts, but have a look!

Openness to Experience/Intellect 30% > I got 30% on this subject. I thought I am a pretty open minded person and I am not a strict person. I am a person that goes with the flow, haha.
		You are somewhat conventional.
Conscientiousness 25% > I agree with disorganized. I become really disorganized when I am extreamly tired or mad.
		You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly.
Extraversion 64% > I strongly agree with this subject. I heard I am very friendly, fun loving, and talkative  from a lot of friends. So, I always take the role of ice breaker and leader at church retreat or do fun things with children at church. But, I can be a very quiet person.
		You are relatively social and enjoy the company of others.
Agreeableness 57% > I forgive people easily so people tend to think of me as an easy person or not straight forward person. I know that this type of personality is not so good but I can't help it when some kinds of situations come up to me I always am the same person as I always am. But, I am trying to be neither extremely forgiving nor irritable as my results say.
		You are neither extremely forgiving nor irritable.
Neuroticism 43% > I am not sure about this one. I can be extreamly nervous or calm depends on what  kinds of situations I am in. But, I think I tend to be the most calm person among of my friends.

aBouT Me.

I am very outgoing and easy to talk to. So don't be afraid to talk to me, feel free to talk with sUnNy. I am from South Korea-- it's been almost 5 years since I moved. I could not speak any English when I first got here and my personality was totally different than it is now. I was very shy and depressed, but I guess I passed the difficult stage in my life.

I really enjoy meeting new people. Sometimes people call me hilarious sunny, haha.

p.s: I like taking pictures in the morning. These two pictures were taken early in the morning:) FRESH IN THE MORNING!

Nice meeting you guys all!!
