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

On Friday I went to my friend Gracie's before the football game. We didn't do much, we pretty much left as soon as I got to her house. The game was fun and Blue Valley won so that was good. After the game I went to Gracie's again and my friend Kylie went with us. We made cookies and just hung out. I didn't go to homecoming on Saturday, but I did hang out with my friends. We went to see If I Stay and got ice cream. I've already seen that movie, but it was still good.

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

My weekend was okay. On Friday night I babysat. I have never babysat her before, she was really crazy and didn't want to sit still. The kids i usually babysit are a little less energetic so that was different. On Saturday I went shopping with my friends for spirit week. It was fun because I always like spending time with friends. Then on Sunday night I went over to my cousins house. It was fun because i haven't seen them in a while. We just ate and played knockout.

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.

I like the class, I think it is cool to learn what the backbone of a website looks like and how its made. It want what I thought it would be. I thought it would be easier to build websites, I didn't think we would actually code our websites.My favorite part is probably when I see the finished product, I think its cool to see that i made it from scratch. My least favorite part is trying to do something that I don't know how to do. I figured it out by using codeacademy though.

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 important because if you don't meet them you could lose points on your project. High school deadlines stimulate real world because in the real world there are many things that have to be turned in a by a certain date. If they are not turned in you might have to pay extra, school is like this because you lose points. I have forgotten to do my homework before. Because it was late the highest grade I could get was an 80%. Deadlines are very important for school and the real world.

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

A time in my life where this quote has come into affect is tests. Sometimes I don't prepare enough for a test. In return for not studying I don't do well on that test. Not only does not preparing for an important test make you do bad on it, it also affects your grade in the long run. Test are important and if you don't do well it brings your grade down, and you could end up failing the class. I have never failed a class, but I have done bad on test.

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

On Friday I went over to my friend Gracie's house, then went to the BV game after. The game was pretty fun because most of my friends were there and it was good for all of us to get together. On Saturday I went shopping with my mom, it wasn't very fun though because I couldn't find what I was looking for. Later Saturday I had a few friends over. We pretty much just hung out on my patio and listened to music. We also found a dog in my backyard and he wouldn't leave us alone, i brought him to his owner the next day.That was really fun though because I like spending time with my friends.

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 think it means that you are fortunate to have a life, so you should spend it doing things you love. There are so many things to do that you should never be bored or run out of things. You need to turn what your doing into something that makes you happy, if It doesn't originally do that. You should spend your time doing new things you enjoy instead of doing something that you don't.

How do you express your creativity? Explain.

I express my creativity through my art. I love art, so its a great thing to express myself through. I don't have much time to draw, but I take painting at school. I often times just like drawing faces, hair, and eyes. I also express myself through choir. I express myself in their because I like singing and have fun doing it.

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

On Friday night I went to Fifth Wall with a bunch of my friends. I really enjoy fifth wall, Its pretty funny and fun to watch. They had a bunch of new people in it and they were really good. On Saturday I watched the the K-state game,they won, and was outside with my neighbors. Last night me, my younger brother, and my parents meet my brother in Topeka to eat dinner and give him his car. It was fun because he goes to K-state and I don't get to see him often.

Kids these days are on their phones and technology to often. They spend all their time inside. When I was a kid I spent all my free time outside. They don't know how to use their imagination like kids used to. When they're not on their phones they're with their friends. They should spend more time with their families, instead they're at parties and friends houses all the time. They also get everything they want without working for it. They need to learn the value of money and how to make it.

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?

I learned a lot more about web design and websites so far. I've learned about coding and website design. I want to learn more about customizing websites. I want to learn different font, color, and backgrounds I can use when coding. I want to be able to code a website without looking back at codeacademy for help.

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

This Labor day weekend I went to the Blue Valley soccer game with a bunch of my friends. I don't really go to soccer games often so that was fun and my friends also made it more fun.  After the game we went to Chipotle and my house. I also went to the Royals game on Saturday with my family. The game was extremely hot and I'm not a big fan of baseball. Neither of the games were very good though because both teams lost. Other then those things I went shopping and just stayed home.
