Tell me about your Homecoming weekend! If you didn't participate in the Homecoming festivities, what did you do? Share pics!

My Homecoming weekend was amazing but it went by super quickly! On Friday night I watched the football game where we won 42 to 7! On Saturday I worked for a little, went to church, then proceeded to get ready for Homecoming in 35 minutes. Pictures were at Geyser Park and dinner was delicious at Herford House.  After dinner we went to the dance and had lots of fun!

How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting? Share photos!

On Friday I worked until 5:45 and left immediately after that with some friends to go to the football game at Miege! It was a camo out, so we all had army green on! After the game we had a surprise party for my friend April at her house! On Saturday I worked, then hung out with friends. Later that night we went to the talent show and of course Chipotle followed this event. On Sunday I went to Church, worked, and went to Chipotle with a friend for a late lunch. My mom's birthday is this week, so my brothers came home, and all 5 of us went to a family dinner at Pinstripes! We don't get to spend time as a family much anymore, so I loved having everyone together. After dinner I went to sonic with some of my friends from CAPS. So excited for homecoming this weekend!

Now that you are several weeks in to this class and have coded one (super small) website, what do you think? What are your thoughts on web design? Is it what you thought it would be? Is it better? Worse? What's your favorite part? What's your least favorite part? Explain.

Coding a website is incredibly more hard than I thought it would be. Web Design is all about the details. I thought it would be an easy class, but it is the furthest thing from that. This class is really hard for me! Before this class, I was not very good with computers. I'm still not good with computers, but hey I'm getting a little bit better. I really like decorating my websites with fonts, colors and pictures. My least favorite part is remembering which codes to use when and entering all of the codes so that they work together.

What is the importance of deadlines? How do high school deadlines reflect or simulate "real world" experience? Give an example of when you met or or didn't meet a deadline that was important.

Deadlines are extremely important to any career because efficiency is needed by every project! Having a distant deadline may seem like you can slack off and not do a little but of the project every day or so, but that is certainly not the case. High School and College are all about deadlines as well. Deadlines for projects, tests, assignments are all too frequent in high school. Recently I applied for College credit at JCCC for my CAPS Global Business courses. There was a strict deadline of September 12th. If I didn't meet that deadline, I was out 7 credit hours for college next year. 7 hours that was significantly cheaper than regular college courses but still counted the same!

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.

Last year I failed a Chemistry test because I didn't prepare as much as I should have. Chemistry was always a hard class for me, meaning I needed to study hours and hours to retain information. I learned after this test to always prepare while in advanced for Chemistry. Failing is something humans do naturally, so It's okay to fail sometimes. If you prepare and still fail, at least you put in the effort.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

This weekend went by incredibly fast! On Friday I worked then I went to the football game. The best part about my Friday was that we beat West 30-13! On Saturday I worked and then I went to the soccer game at BVNW. We also won that game! That night I had a good time hanging out with friends. On Sunday I went to church and work and then the Packer game was on! All in all a great weekend.

Below is one of my favorite quotes that I found on Pinterest. Think read and think about what this says and then blog about it. What does this quote mean to you? Elaborate! Feel free to give an example of tell a story.

I completely agree with what this picture is saying! I have said "I'm bored" probably a thousand times in my life, but it's time to stop saying that useless phrase. There is so much to do just in our town, let alone state, The Midwest has a reputation of being boring, but there is plenty to do in Kansas, especially in fall. I love Kansas in the fall since there are lots of cider mills and pumpkin patches near by. Two of my favorite things to do in fall are seeing the Christmas lights turn on at the plaza and the other is to go to the Louisburg Cider Mill with a big group of friends.

How do you express your creativity? Explain.

I express my creativity through the clothes that I wear. I'm not particularly a fan of art, but if fashion is considered an art, I am the biggest fan. I have tried to draw and paint, but I just can not seem to get the hang of it. However I could spend hours putting outfits together and organizing closets.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

This weekend I went to the football game on Friday. We won 29 to 0! The win was definitely worth the 30 minute drive to Shawnee Mission! On Saturday I went to a self defense class at the Royals stadium with Annie and then went out to dinner that night. I had a lazy Sunday and saw a few friends and attempted to do some homework.

Tell me about what you have learned in this class so far. Have you learned a lot? Do you want to learn more? What do you want to be able to do by the end of the semester?

Going into this class I had no clue about Web Design, so pretty much everything is new to me. HTML and <!DOC TYPE> were foreign words to me before this class. I would like to learn how to make a background on a website! By the end of the semester I would like to learn how to produce my own website from scratch. I hope to go into business, and knowing how to create a website would be an important skill to have.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!

This Labor Day weekend went by too fast but it was a fabulous weekend! After CAPS on Friday, I nannied until around 6. The BV vs. BVW soccer game was at 6:30 so I ran home to put on some beach themed clothes (Lilly Pulitzer and some leis). The game was super fun to watch and cheer on my friends. Sadly we lost, but I can't wait till Thursday for the next game! I spent Saturday with my friend and then at night we went out to dinner with his family! Sunday was spent with my best friend at Clinton Lake and then at her family's house for dinner. Monday was homework day but I also saw friends that day!
