Week Four

     Another week four, yup im soo creative with my titles. I thought last week was week four but apparently this week is week four so now I have two blog posts named week four...Anyway this week went pretty well. Me and my group were able to work on our wikis and are still battling it out with the other groups to prove which is the best, obviously team No Dip got the best one duhhhh;) Also this week I made alot of progress on my 20 time project. I have been able to narrow down my favorite coral reefs. It was tough since there are soo many beautiful spots all over the world but with much research I was able to choose which ones would be the focus of my project. Overall Ive learned alot this week. Today in biology we did an experiment with potatoes in different solutions. In english we learned about Hawthorne and took a quiz:P Hopefully progress reports dont look as bad as Im expecting them to be.

     As for challenges faced I would have to say figuring out which of our wikis in our groups is the best. Its hard to get in contact with the other team since were not in any classes with them so were a bit behind on that part. Another challenge was writing my blog post. Yup I wrote this whole thing out during school today and opened my iPad after practice to find it no longer existed. You have no idea how aggrivating it is to have to write this all out again... The last challenge would be my honors class, I had no idea it was gonna be this hard so its a bit of a struggle to keep up with the rest of the super smart people in the class.

     Successes this week would be my group completing our wiki. It looks really nice and clearly is the best in the twitter division. Another success would be that Ive been able to get all my homework turned in on time this week, this tends to usually be a bit of a struggle. Lastly I been able to do really well in science and math this year which is unusual since they seem to always be my toughest subjects. Im anticipating my junior year to be one to remember.

     This week I plan to have a really good time on the retreat and grow closer to God and my classmates. Im really excited for what this year is going to bring and I cant wait to go to the retreat! Its gonna be a lot of fun and Im really looking forward to introducing the freshies to our retreat traditions. I also plan to work alot more on my 20 time project this week. Im not sure whats next on the schedule but whatever it is Im excited to dig deeper into my topic. Along with that I plan to work out with the other teams on Friday how we are going to combine our wikis and stuff. Lastly Im planning to have a good race at the cross country meet this saturday:)

     As for utilizing/growing my PLN Im planning on working some more on finding people who know alot about or have experienced diving at coral reefs. I think I might have found some people within my church but Im still working out the details. Hopefully on Friday I can work out all my plans for the 20 time project and get started:)

     I lived out the verse this week by thanking God for everything he has given me. No one seems to really realize how precious our freedoms as American citizens are. How rare and valuable it is to have freedom like we do in America. I was reminded of this in history, that we need to constantly thank God, not everyone has the freedom we have. What we have is valuable.

Anyway that its i need to start packing(yikes its late) see you all at the retreat tomorrow!!
