I somehow got a 295/300 on my final project. I have exactly no idea how, because the project was to do a map with XYZ techniques included, and I put all my effort into the extra credit option because it was pretty. I had like 20 pictures and only one was the map. I also wrote the script and captions from memory, and literally listed "research done before 2013" in my "sources" requirement. (Also "X class at this college in 2009" and "fact-checks from google and wikipedia" SERIOUSLY GUYS I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MY ASS KICKED.)

It's really pretty though and I wish I could show people, but alas, it's locked for class eyes only.

(I did an informational app for tourists about a hiking trail in Japan. It's an almost perfectly preserved section of the Nakasendo, or Inner Mountain Road, the second-most important of the five major trade roads in pre-modern Japan, and it goes between two historic and restored post towns in the mountains northeast of Nagoya.) (It's really really pretty there, guys. I want to go back so bad.)

(If you have read my book, A Town Without Ghosts, this is where I set it.)

(If you have read my Detective Conan fic, Rolling Snake Eyes, this is also where I took inspiration from. Not quite an exact match to the setting -- there's no hotel like that -- but the hiker's teahouse and some details of the trail are straight from here.)

Time to remember how to work Pink LJ! ^_^ I had forgotten how useful many icons was. This is McGuire, she was a middle-aged shelter cat and now is a little old lady of great cuddles and fluff.
