Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

Over the weekend I visited the University of Arkansas.  It was moms weekend so we went down with my moms best friend and visited her daughter Meghan.  Meghan is a Junior and she showed me around the campus because I am considering going there for college.  We also visited her sorority, Chi Omega, and she showed me around there and what it was like.  I haven't decided if I want to be in a sorority or not so this gave me an opportunity to see it in action.  The campus was beautiful and I could really see myself going there.

To prepare myself for the real world I would say our classes need to be based off things we are going to need to know how to do.  Such as, writing a check, depositing money into a bank account, and managing money.  Many students don't know how to do these basic real world skills and I can say I am one of them.  Yes it is important for us to continue to take our core classes but we also need to focus on things that will get us through life.  During the class period we would work on how to do these basic tasks and eventually put them to use.  These classes wouldn't be different from the ones I'm taking now because I would still be learning something.  In these classes I would say that I would take more away from them because that's something I feel is important to learn in life rather than some of the other things we do in school.

Color can convey a lot of emotion when it comes to designing anything from a product to a website to an advertisement to a logo and so much more. What do you think the importance of colors on a website are? What is a color scheme and why is it important to have when designing? Explain any thoughts you might have around color in design.

Color can convey emotion in everyday things.  I think on websites and advertisements emotion is shown throw color based on what they are trying to advertise.  A sad advertisement isn't going to have bright and happy colors, it will have darker and more plain colors. The importance of colors on a website is very important.  Colors attract people to your website and allow you to perceive the emotion this website may be trying to hit. A color scheme is a group of colors people use for their website.  Color schemes are typically already grouped together but its very easy to personalize as well. They're typically colors that go well together and also colors that fit the topic of the website as well.  I believe colors are very important when it comes to designing things.  It gives your production character and allows you to personalize things to your liking.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work (especially Web Design!)? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

I feel like this quote will mean different things depending on where you are. At home I do all my homework but it doesn't take nearly as long because I have more focus. At school I feel like I get a lot more done but as the day goes on my focus slowly goes away. Part of the reason I don't get as much done at school is because of my surroundings. In many of my classes I sit by my friends and I talk to them all hour instead of doing something important related to the class. Another thing that becomes distracting is my phone. During class I will text my friends or be playing games even while the teacher is teaching and my focus for whats going on in the class wont be there. I think the context of this quote will be perceived in the right way depending on your surroundings and where you are.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.

On Friday night I babysat coach Duggans son Michael while the freshmen girls had practice. Afterwards I hung out with some friends and we went to Jose Peppers for dinner, then went back to Kayleighs and watched Pitch Perfect. Saturday I was supposed to take the ACT but ended up not because I got sick that morning. I laid in bed the rest of the day then at 4 went into work. I got off work around 9 then came home and went to bed. Sunday morning I woke up then went to work again at 11. After work I went to my grandparents house and we all went out to dinner. After dinner I came home and watched some of the Grammy's while I did my homework. Overall it wasn't a very exciting weekend.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in this class so far this year? Now that you have a little knowledge, what do you want to learn that you don't know how to do yet?

The coolest thing I think that we have done in this class is work with Notepad++.  I think its really cool that we are building our own Website all through HTML and CSS.  I would like to go even more in depth with making the Website and put in some cool features.  The other thing that I think is really cool is the blogs that we made.  I didnt know it would be this easy to create something like this.

Tell me all about your Sweetheart weekend (even if you sat at home on the couch!). Include photos!

I went to Sweetheart with my boyfriend Kobe and 10 other of my closest friends. For pictures we went to Kobes moms house and for dinner we went to Bravo. We got to the dance around 9 and stayed for a little over an hour so we could see who was sweetheart king and queen. Afterwards we went back to Katie Stinsons for an hour or so and had some pizza and other snacks. We watched a couple of movies. We left around 12:30 and went back to Kobes and hung out there for a while. I got home around 4:30 and slept basically all day yesterday.
