Last Week

     I'd have to say that was a pretty sweet field trip on Friday. The three hour drive was a bit much but I really enjoyed all the restaurants and places there. Last week was a pretty normal week I don't remember to much from it remember alot from the field trip. Overall I would say I learned alot more about American History through that field trip. The scavenger hunt was really interesting and kept us going in and out of like every building in Philadelphia. I also learned alot about how the government was formed back then and about the kind of lives the people who lived back then had. Life was different back then compared to what we have now. Overall though I would have to say I enjoyed the food the most(; I didn't like the Philly cheese I tried but I really like the big market we went to. The food there was really good

     As for challenges faced I would have to day the past few days Ive had trouble getting work done on my 20 time project. I worked on reading questions for English like all weekend and then I had riding lessons and a 4-H practice thing so I was kinda stretched on time. Usually though I find enough time to practice guitar at least 5 nights a week so I think Im headed in the right direction. Another challenge I faced was my explain everything project for English last week. I really scared that the app was gonna close and delete my whole project but I got lucky and it didnt delete anything! I uploaded it to youtube and presented it to the class the next day. That was by far the smoothest project I've ever done.

     Successes for last week would be getting my movie presentation for English uploaded. I thought that was going to be a problem but I figured it out. Another success was the field trip on Friday. I learned alot about the history of America and had a great time with my friends. The last success for last week is that my team finally decided on a business title and now were working on our website which looks awesome by the way thanks to Alet. 

     My plans and thoughts for the upcoming week include getting some ground covered with my group on our phase 1 project. There is definitely still a lot more work to do in order to have it ready to

 turn in and present by Thursday. I also plan to get some PLN accomplished for my 20 time project. Everyone Ive talked to says you should get an early start on that if you want to get some results. Lastly Im planning finish a couple projects that are due after thanksgiving break cuz I really don't want to have to work on those during my time off. 

     My success on 20 time this week like I said wasn't good. Im still working out the plan for my project and deciding exactly how Im going to fit this all together into a project. However Im planning to get a lot of progress in on this next week since I will have more of a plan laid out. 

     I feel like I lived out the biblical principle last week by not walking in the way of the wicked like it said. I mean Ive never been the kind of person who hangs out with bad people, but its good to know theres a verse out there that explains what and why you shouldn't. Thanks for reading(;

Internship Week

     So internship week...Im sure everyone learned a lot, but not me. Due to a killer upper respiratory infection, I had to cancel my plans to go to West Virginia and work in my aunt's spa. Instead I stayed home and coughed it up all week but by the time I was better we were already too far into the week so no internship for me:/ 

     So instead Im gonna talk about some of my possible career choices just off the top of my head. The first one would be as a marine biologist. I don't know too much about the equipment in this area but I know marine biologists use a lot of technology. Lately I've heard about submarine explorations to observe and better understand sea life. Just the submarine itself relies completely on technology between tracking devices and computers. I also just looked up a general list of equipment they use in everyday work and came up with: scuba gear, telescopes, microscopes, a GPS, satellites, grabbers for sampling off of the bottom, succession plates, quadrants, beach seines, trawls, dredges, thermometers, bathythermograph, hydrometer, salinometer, oxygen probes, current meters, surveying equipment, sounder and fathometers.

     The second possible career choice would be film making which definitely uses a lot of technology. Technology in this career includes film, cameras, lights, sound, music, projectors and speakers. The actual technology involved in the filmmaking includes film, digital media, sound, foley inserts, actor voice dubbing and backgrounds. The latest advancements in this area include steadicam, dolly, CGI, digital technology and stereoscopic imaging. 

     As for my plans for approaching quarter 2 I definitely plan to work on my 20 time project before the due date. I also plan to get all my projects finished ahead of time. I am also hoping to get a good fade on the computer business project with my team no dip;) so yup that's it.
