Week 34

     Last week was a short week for all of us. I loved having that Monday off because i got a babysitting job and earned a bunch of money so YES! I still think we should've had Tuesday off as well but whatev. My team made some progress on the storytime. I know Alethea is finished working on a really cool animated background with a thunderstorm, she also added a tornado so it looks really good. I also made a lot of progress with my animated background. I decided to put a jeering crowd in the background window of one of my slides. It looks awesome and moves with the slide. As of the moment my 'adherence to distractions' deplorable. Despite the fact i literally don't have time to breath anymore with the gala, junior hike, and graduation all coming up... I still find my self sleeping for three hours the moment I get home from school everyday:P

     Challenges faced last week include getting shoes, jewelry and my dress for the gala. I ended up borrowing some really pretty shoes and jewelry from my cousin so I'm really relieved that's out of the way. Another challenge faced was creating my animated background on the third slide of my story-time project. I had a rough time cutting out the window in the picture so that it had an invisible background section but after experimenting a bit I figured it out. The last challenge of the week was PLN. I found some people I wanted to contact and followed them on twitter but I haven't contacted them yet because I haven't had time to come up with the questions yet that I need to ask them. 

     Successes of the week would include getting my hair highlighted for the gala. Since my aunt owns a hair place i got it done for free:) Another success would be getting to my cousins shower this weekend. Despite bumper to bumper traffic me and my mother survived the three hour drive to WV and made it to Sydney's shower. Another success of the week was getting inducted into NHS! And the last success was playing the guitar in chapel for the first time.

     My plans for the upcoming week are to contact the PLN finally and find more PLN to contact. I'm planning to go to the gala as well despite all the other things I need to do. I'm also planning on going to the baseball game on Saturday which should be fun:). I'm also planning on getting a bunch of tests and quizzes out of the way since they seem to be piling up. And lastly on Thursday I have an away game at Arlington so a lot places to go this week.

     20 time as I said before is coming along. I'm still working on getting PLN and getting the slides completed. Research is going well and im planning on maybe including a promotional video. I think I'm gonna use explain everything since that seems to always work well with videos and stuff. With my research lately though I've been leaning more towards focusing on free diving which I've found really interesting. I think I'm gonna focus on that and a lot on Deans Blue Hole.

     The verse for this week is basically telling us to get along with the people around us. We shouldn't be getting angry with our friends and neighbors. Instead we should be like God, slow to anger, slow to speak, but quick to listen.

Week 33

      Last week was a short week. But then again we did have Easter break...all 2.5 days of it:P anyway over my short break I didn't do much or go on any extravagant vacations....just stayed home and had Easter brunch with the fam;) also last week my team made some progress on the storytime. I know Alethea is working on a really cool animated background with a thunderstorm so that should be interesting. I also made a lot of progress but I haven't attempted any animated backgrounds yet. I thinking of trying some moving clouds on out first slide but I think we should first finish all the slides and then go back for the details. As of the moment my 'adherence to distractions' is none at all. I literally don't have time to breath anymore: I have to play the guitar in chapel tomorrow for the first time, I am being inducted into NHS tomorrow, I have an away game tomorrow being dismissed early, once im back from the game I have to pack for the weekend since I'm leaving for my grandparents early on Friday and next week is the gala and I still need shoes AHHHHH!

     Challenges faced last week include getting getting a gala dress. It was definitely challenging but easy at the same time since I'm just borrowing one from a friend. Still have to find shoes though.  Another challenge faced was finding the animations for my third slide. I had a rough time finding crowds of angry people since google images can only be so helpful. The last challenge of the week was PLN. I found some people I wanted to contact and followed them on twitter but I haven't contacted them yet because I haven't had time to come up with the questions yet that I need to ask them. AHHHHH there's never enough time...

     Successes of the week would be giving my bible presentation. I think it went well despite my mistake at the beginning. Another success would be our soccer games. So far we've been doing really well, won 3 games and have only lost one so I think we're gonna do well this year. Another success of the week was getting my gala dress approved! 

     My plans for the upcoming week are to contact the PLN finally and find more PLN to contact. I'm also planning on getting all this hw out of the way so I can enjoy this weekend with my aunts and cousins.  I'm also planning on finding shoes. On Friday I have to go to my other cousin in WV's bridal shower. 

     20 time as I said before is coming along slowly. I'm still working on getting PLN and have so far not contacted anyone yet. Research is going well and im planning on plugin this information into more slides soon. I think I'm gonna use explain everything since that seems to always work well with videos and stuff. With my research lately though I've been leaning more towards focusing on free diving which I've found really interesting. I think I'm gonna focus on that and a lot on Deans Blue Hole.

     The verse for this week is basically saying that we should not just hear and listen to the word of God. We should be speaking it and sharing it with the world. God commands us to spread the gospel not keep it to ourselves.

Week 32

     Last week was a very short week for me. But then again I did miss three days of school:/ not much to write about here since the majority of my week last week was spent at home throwing up from the flu:P But for the two days I was at school I got a lot done. My team made some progress on the storytime. I know Alethea is working on a really cool animated background with a thunderstorm so that should be interesting. I also made a lot of progress but I haven't attempted any animated backgrounds yet. I thinking of trying some moving clouds on out first slide but I think we should first finish all the slides and then go back for the details. As of the moment my 'adherence to distractions' is none at all. I literally don't have time to breath anymore I have so much makeup hw and it right alongside all the other hw that is due normally on schedule:P I can't wait for Easter break.

     Challenges faced last week include getting sick. It was definitely not fun AT ALL. I was so sick I couldn't even watch tv:/ That definitely was a bump in the road. Another challenge faced was finding the animations for my third slide. I had a rough time finding crows of angry people since google images can only be so helpful. The last challenge of the week was PLN. I found some people I wanted to contact and followed them on twitter but I haven't contacted them yet because I haven't had time to come up with the questions yet that I need to ask them. AHHHHH there's never enough time...

     Successes of the week would be giving my English presentation finally last weekend. I'm so glad that's over with. Another success would be our soccer games. So far we've been doing really well, won 3 games and have only lost one so I think we're gonna do well this year. Another success of the week was finishing my history paper, took me all weekend but I finally finished.

     My plans for the upcoming week are to contact the PLN finally and find more PLN to contact. I'm also planning on getting all this makeup hw out of the way. I think I still have 2 quizzes and 2 tests to make up so I'm far from done. I'm also planning on celebrating Easter with my family. On Friday I have to go to my cousins bridal shower and on Saturday I'm going to watch my dad play with his band at a street fair and then I'm babysitting on Monday so it's definitely gonna be a busy weekend. 

     20 time as I said before is coming along slowly. I'm still working on getting PLN and have so far not contacted anyone yet. Research is going well and im planning on plugin this information into more slides soon. I think I'm gonna use explain everything since that seems to always work well with videos and stuff. With my research lately though I've been leaning more towards focusing on free diving which I've found really interesting. I think I'm gonna focus on that and a lot on Deans Blue Hole.

     The verse for this week is basically telling us to not let the world shape our views on life. It's telling us to let God affect us and not the world around us. We shouldn't fit in with the world, we should be seeking Gods will and spreading the gospel everywhere we go.

Week 31

     Ahhhhhh last week was so stressful....I'm just glad it's all over. So many projects and way to much busy work! Anyway progress on storytime is coming along I decided to make our intro side animated and personally I think it looks awesome;) there's animated l lightening and thunder sound effects. Also last week we had our first soccer game finally! When we got there we had to wait around for awhile because their reff was no where to be found, but we ended up winning 3-0:) lastly I finally got all the projects turned in, wait no, there's in more due Wednesday:/ NEVERMIND. Another soccer game tomorrow, and Friday,Monday, and Tuesday! It's about to get crazy...

    

     Challenges faced this past week include giving my English project presentation. It was the biggest grade of the year but I'm so happy I got it over with in the first day. Another challenge was the first game, i think we were all worried about how itd turn out. The last challenge this past week was finding PLN, my topic is pretty broad so I think I'm gonna spread out to other areas.

     Successes of this week include finishing then huge English project, it seemed like it would never be over:P another is success was the game since we won;) Also yesterday we reserved our plane tickets for the Bahamas! I'm soooo excited:D the last success was trying on my bridesmaid dress for my cousin's wedding in may.

 

     My plans for this week are to make some serious progress on the tower of babble project. I'm also planning to whip my crazy team in to shape since they always sit there and criticize my slides yet never seem to want to work on their own! I'm also planning to contact some PLN this week, I've decided to take more of a broad approach so my PLN isn't strictly vacation bloggers and stuff. Lastly I'm planning to finish the rest of my projects this week.

     20 time has been going ok. Lately I haven't had to much time with all the other projects being due but I have been making progress lately since I haven't been as busy. I decided to search for different PLN. I been focusing a lot on Deans Blue hole on the island and I'm going to contact some world record holding freedivers who had dived there.

     The verse this week is basically saying that we should trust God and not fear because he is always with us. We need to remember that he is our strength.

Week 30

     So more snow? I didn't see that coming...anyway it's definitely shaping up to be one of the worst months of the year (PS I hate April). I currently having "the biggest grade of the year" project due in English on Monday which I have currently made little to no progress on. Along with that I also have a huge history paper due on Monday which I have also not started. I have two tests this week, a quiz, and a ton of busy work from all the teachers who are in Costa Rica. Practice every day after school, game Friday. I have to plan my cousins bridal shower and had to go there yesterday to get fitted right after practice, didn't get home till late. I also have another cousin whos getting married and I have to go to her bridal shower in WV soon. And on top of it all I need to get a summer job this week or I never will. The problem is I don't know when I'm gonna have the time to fill out applications since I have to devote my entire weekend to cramming those projects in. Oh and almost forgot im in charge of gala decorations which we were supposed to have figured out by today and have a website to order from which i didnt get to 😫 Rant over. 

     So last week was an okay week, I definitely think we should have had a 2 hour delay yesterday I mean come on, it snowed a lot. Last week my team made some progress on our story time. I'd have to say its been rough getting started but once we get everything lined up I think we'll be good to go. Sadly 20 time is the last thing on my mind right, I have a ton of other projects to do, places to be....

     Challenges faced last week was the end of the quarter. I really tried to push until the end and not let my grades drop and overall I think they came out pretty well. Another challenge faced was the dress fitting yesterday. Just so happens my bridesmaid dress is too big again, I went there the first time and it was way too big so I guess their making progress. 

     Successes this past week were slim. Our progress on story time has been going well. My team is getting there slowly but surely. Another success is ending the quarter strong, I'm pretty proud of those grades.

     My plans for the upcoming week are listed in the first paragraph. Lets hope Im still breathing by the end of this month....

     20 time as I said before isn't going to we'll. Until I get all this STUFF out of the way I really don't have time for anything else.

     The verse for this week really applies to my life. I literally feel like I'm being pulled in a million different directions. It's good to know God's got my back.
