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

This weekend I did not go to Homecoming. I had a volleyball tournament on Saturday from 6 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. We ended up getting 3rd and played really well! Then on Sunday it was my birthday! I went to Kyoto for lunch and then got to lay in bed all day. It was a pretty successful weekend, but it went by too fast!

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

This weekend I had a volleyball tournament in Lawrence all day Saturday. We played for 12 hours, 17 games, and got 3rd place. We got done really late but it was worth it. Sunday I just hung out all day and slept!

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.

Web Design is a better class than I thought! I thought you would use another website to create a website, not that you had to code one. My favorite part is making the websites because you get to make something so cool from scratch. My least favorite part is doing Code Academy because it's boring. I am looking forward to seeing how we can make our websites better!

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.

Dead lines in high school are important because when you get a real job you will have to turn your work in on time or you will get fired. One time I forgot about my work for a big project until the night of so I had to last second do it. I got it done, but it wasn't my best work. I didn't get the grade I was hoping for. In real life, if I would have done a bad job I would've been fired.

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

When I don't study for a big test coming up is an example for this quote. I am not preparing so I am going to fail. I have done this a lot, and normally I don't fail but I haven't gotten the best grade I could have gotten. Another example is playing a sport. If you don't practice then you won't be good. If you don't practice before a game then you and your team will fail.

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

This weekend I had my birthday party! My birthday isn't until the 28th but I had it early. My friends and I went to Stockton Lake, where I have a lake house. We rode my horses, went tubing, cliff jumping, and watched movies. It was one of the best weekends I've had for a while!

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 say "I'm bored" all of the time because it is actually true. I disagree with this quote because, yes there is a lot to do, but you can't hardly ever do those things. You can't just go "see the world" whenever you want. I am always saying "I'm bored" when I am at my house, but that's because I have tried different things to entertain me but they haven't.

How do you express your creativity? Explain.

Creativity, to me, is being able to imagine things and think of ideas on your own. Creativity is thinking of original ideas and works. It can be used for an artwork, an invention, or any daily things like schoolwork.

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

This weekend I went to the opening Chiefs game. I got there at 9:00 and tailgated until game time. We didn't win the game, but it was still fun! On Saturday I had to ref the Freshman volleyball tournament. After reffing I went home and watched scary movies. Then I went to the game.

Kids these days, always on their phones. They are gonna get into an accident from that texting they do all of the time. Even little 7 year olds have iPhones! They also drive over the speed limit too much. I think that the speed limit should decrease because they will get in an accident from speeding or texting!

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?

This semester I have learned how to code and make a website. I want to learn more about making my website better and also how to make my blog better. By the end of the semester I hope to have learned how to make a full website and have it look really good!

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

This Labor Day weekend I went to my lake house at Stockton Lake. I went tubing, knee boarding, cliff jumping, and horse-back riding. It was really fun! When I was riding my horse I didn't use a saddle once and I fell off when he started trotting! I hope that next Labor Day is just as good as this one!
