Break is almost here...

     Thank goodness break is almost here! So last week was like freezing compared to the weather now... Gosh maryland weather. And now it's like 70° degrees outside yet were still expecting 3-6 inches of snow the day after tomorrow... How is that possible. Anyways last week I made a lot of progress on the college sites. I finally got my buttons to start working so you can actually see them. I also made a lot of progress on 20 time both this week and last week. I've been looking at a lot of travel blog sites and have found several successful and professional people to contact. They all seem to have the same story on their bios though, 'I was working a boring job and decided I wanted a better life so I quit my job and decided to travel the world'...I have a feeling there is more to the story than that. I've also been researching how often they get asked to visit a country free of charge in exchange for a positive blog post. It appears that they get a few of them but most of the places travel bloggers go are chosen by them, they are not asked to go there. Overall I want to specifically look in to seeing if there are any bloggers out there who go to 'off the beaten track' vacation spots. I think the best travel blog would entail descriptions of places that literally no one has ever heard of. No ones going to want to hear another review of Paris and the Eiffel Tower, because they either already know or have been there themselves.

     As for thanksgiving break, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that feels its way to short. I mean a half day before the actual holiday? Most schools got out for the entire week...rant over. My plans for break are to babysit Wednesday. The family I babysit for has their family over so instead of babysitting 2 girls, I'm babysitting 3 girls and 2 twin boys...pray I survive:/ For thanksgiving, the plan is to drive up to my Grandparents on Thursday but with a 3 hour drive and the prospect of snow I'm not entirely sure that's going to happen. However if we do arrive safely the plan is to eat dinner at my uncles house with the whole family. 

     As for ODMs I signed up today but may switch my classes around, anyways I signed up for the human trafficking class with Mrs.Griffin, cake decorating class with Mrs.Barnesly, Creative writing, and Spanish cuisine with Mrs.Dayhoff. 

     Challenges faced this past week would include driving to the mall by myself for the first time. It was rough but I didn't run into anyone so its ok. Another challenge faced was the English test which, despite previously thinking I had failed it, actually did pretty well. The last challenge faced was getting the buttons to work on expression web. 

     Successes of this past week would include improvements on my 20 time project. Also seeing mocking jay part 1 in theaters was pretty great. Another succes was of course getting the interactive buttons on the site to actually show up. The last success was getting this blog done -_-

      My plans for next week are to continue progress on my 20 time project and start getting in contact with some of the bloggers. I'm also planning to finish up the college sites and do some Christmas shopping finally maybe on Black Friday?
