Week 25

     So this past week was interesting, despite the fact we had a 2 hour delay monday it still felt like a pretty normal week to me. Overall last week was pretty great. My team got alot done on our website. My progress on the souvenir shop is coming along. I have tables and pictures with text on it now so yay! Also my team filmed our commercial which is pretty interesting. It doesnt look professional or anything but i think well get a few laughs. Lastly out site is almost finished were just haveing trouble getting out commercial on our site and getting the job application on there aswell. 

     Challenges faced last week would include figuring out how to make a table with a picture and text. It took me quite awhile to get the table to show up with the picture but i eventually figured it out. Another challenge was my english presentation. I procrastinated and waited till midnight to finish it and didnt end up getting it done till like 6:30AM. Luckily we had a 2 hour delay so i got two hours of sleep but honestly i would have to say i still dont feel like im caught up on sleep.

     Succeses of last week would be an A on the english project;) also getting the table on our website, that took me awhile. Another success would be just being awesome and having a better site than 50SOC. Ya thats right we didnt make a facebook page for our INVISIBLE company #meggles&morgles

     My plans for the upcoming week are to get the youtube video on our site somehow. Also i plan to make another page on our site for employment and somehow get the job application on there. Lastly im planning not to die from all this work i have to do;) ill let you know how it goes

     20 time i havent really started on yet. This friday however im planning to get a jumpstart on research and stuff since i havent done any yet.

     The verse for this week is basically saying that faith with out deeds is useless. Saying your a christian and actually being one are two completely different things. Our actions should reflect our faith.

Livin It Up Without Wifi

    Overall this week has definitely been the most interesting. For the past 2 days me and my family have been staying at a house right next to the slopes of Wisp. We have to walk a few yards to get to the slope, but I've really enjoyed being here. The house is great its just the wifi. It just so happens this house doesn't have wifi of its own and for all you MACA highschoolers out there we know this is a severe problem. Especially when I have two days worth of work in every class:P however I have discovered that while standing in certain parts of the house I can using the neighbors free wifi that's not pass word protected. So in order to do my homework this week I've been spending 3-4 hours in the highest part of this house (the loft), standing next to the window holding up my iPad whispering 'be strong😩'. I currently only have the dot in the wifi signal but that seems to be enough! It's definitely been an interesting couple of days. But we didn't escape the snow up here in deep creek MD. My family left Wednesday evening right before the storm and now here I would say there's a good two feet on the ground. Needless to say that lead to the ski slopes being all choppy and terrible but otherwise I didn't mind it.

     Challenges faced this week would be getting background pictures on the webpages. It was really frustrating at first because I couldn't figure out why the picture wasn't showing up but eventually I got it to work and now our home page has a really cool background. Another challenge faced was the valentines day flowers. Apparently we had 700 or so flowers to tie names to, sort into classes and hand out. It was rough and personally I didn't think we'd be done in time but surprisingly we finished before the end of 2nd period! Also I faced the challenge of skiing this weekend. As I said before the slopes yesterday were terrible, I ended up falling down and now my neck muscles are all tight:/ the last challenge was getting wifi. It's been rough walking around the house waiting for the right spot but I've been determined to get all this work done so we can stay an extra day.

     Successes this week would include getting to Wisp before the huge snow storm hit. Also getting backgrounds on all of our site pages. Another success was beating my brother once down the slope😉 Also successfully getting my hw turned in off stolen wifi! Lastly completing my groups know dip job application.

     My plans for the upcoming week are to continue using the neighbors wifi and skiing with the fam. I also plan to get the extremely difficult English project done:P I am also planning to get together with my group and film the commercial (that is if I can get ahold of them! Ahem.) lastly I'm planning to teach my little cuz how to ski.

     Anyway yesterday I finished putting together my 20 time schedule. I decided to do my project on the Bahamas. Gotta luv the beach:) I feel like this could be a really good project. I mean its definitely not going to top my last one of the guitar but I think it's promising. 

     And there's no verse so I guess that's it:)

Week 23

     Overall I think I enjoyed last week the most out of the entire school year. Having those 2 days off in the middle of the week were so helpful since I had a lab report due a test another test and a quiz all on the same day. It was awesome having two extra days to study😛

     Overall last week was pretty awesome, only two days of school! Like I said in my last blog I think the week before last was our first full week of school this entire year. Anyways I learned alot last week mostly about geometry and biology which were the two tests I was studying so hard for. Other than that, between snow days there wasn't much to learn. However out team website is going well, my attempts to make a slideshow for the homepage failed. None of the people on my team are very good with HTMl including myself:/ but I think we're doing pretty well considering the circumstances.

     Challenges faced over the past week would include coming back on Friday to all those test and quizzes, it was definitely a bit rough since I had two quizzes and tests. Another challenge for my group was getting phase 5 done, were still working on the details but we did it. The last challenge for the week is getting all my hw done so I can leave to go skiing Wednesday night. I swear every teacher in the school is having their hw or test or project on the Tuesday we get back😩

     Successes for last week would be my team getting our phase 5 turned in. Another success is finally deciding on my 20 time project topics. It took me a while but I think the two I have are solid ideas for a good 4th quarter project.

     My plans for the upcoming week are to go skiing Thursday thru Friday but with the hw I'm not sure if one of those days won't have to be committed to hw:P. I'm also planning to get together with my team an work on our commercial, I won't be back in town till Monday evening so were gonna be stretching it to the limit:/

     So far on my 20 time all I have is the topic but I'm really excited to start working on the PLN and the presentation.

     The verse this week is basically saying we shouldn't just be reading the bible, we should be actively doing what it says. Stationary Christians never to anything amazing for God. We need to stand up and witness to everyone around us instead of fading into the background.

Week 22

     So last week definitely felt longer than it actually was. I think that's the first full week of school we've had since last year? Anyway overall last week was pretty okay despite the fact that I loathed class everyday. The week seemed to never end. Overall though I really like how they did our chapel last week. Having a small group discussion within our home rooms was really interesting. I liked discussing it all as a class much better than in really small groups.

 

     Challenges faced last week would include surviving a whole 5 days of school. It felt like it dragged on forever. Another challenge faced was giving the rest of my 20 time presentation. The last challenge would be the horse show this past weekend. MACAs first equestrian team ever headed off to their first competition this weekend. I was really nervous until it was all over mainly due to the fact that you never know what kind to horse your going to get. I ended up getting a really lazy horse that wouldn't canter the first time I asked but we didn't do too bad, Ill take 6th place😛 overall our team did really well for being the first ones, I think we're shaping up to win some big stuff.

     Successes would be my team doing really well at the competition last weekend, so proud of you all:). Another success would be the snow day today. Not saying that I made it happen but I feel somewhat responsible. The last success would be getting my passport this weekend with my family. Yup were headed to the Bahamas in August soo excited!! 

     My plans for the upcoming week are to get a head start on everything. I seriously can't afford to get crammed with work this week. I'm going to have to work ahead on everything since I'm missing two days of school next week. I'm also planning to help my team on our website. We're kinda behind on stuff since all the coding is really confusing. I'm currently trying to figure out how to put a slideshow on our home page. Three attempts and no success:P

 

     As for 20 time I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I want to do for fourth quarter. I have a few ideas but I'm still trying to put together how they would look in a presentation.

     This weeks verse is basically saying that since we know we have been made new through the crucifixion of Christ we should no longer act like we are slaves to sin. We are made new in Christ and we should be joyful and spreading the word to all unbelievers we meet.
