Week 5: Projections Phase One

     Before I begin I'd like to say that I somehow managed to name my files wrong but managed to keep the blog in time with the weeks. Once again late because of family issues, getting sidetracked by statistics homework and trying to own my own map. Also step 7 part 6 had me confused for a while.
     Alright, I have to say that I am really starting to enjoy these labs. Though they might be a little frustrating and stressful its so fun as someone who loves to watch processes to see the labs come together. The fact that we map makers get to personalize each finished product is addicting and easy to get carried away in. I am not quite sure if I understand the difference between PCS and GCS but I am getting there. I do however understand that different forms of projections allow and create stretching and skewing. I have been following VOX and other similar educational sources like TedEd and BBC and and actually saw the video linked in the lesson when it came out. I loved the video and enjoyed watching it again and relating what he said to what I have learned. Though this lab is late I think I enjoyed it as much as I did the last lab, which is saying something.
     While sitting here and typing this I also realized that I said that projection style as UTM 2016 instead of UTM 16 N on my map and I feel so stupid.
     Here's to hoping I can get back in line. Thanks for reading,
