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

Well this weekend I tried to pretend it was another 4 day weekend but it turns out it was not so that was very sad and depressing. Other than that not much happened but this weekend will be pretty fun so at least there's that.

I don't know planning stuff like that out is something I don't really like to do so maybe if I had a class that helped me plan stuff out then that'd be pretty helpful.

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.

Honestly for me colors can kind of set a mood but I usually don't pay a lot of attention to them unless they are ridiculous which might cause me to take the website less seriously. Colors are probably important for some people and affect how they view a website but for me I'll usually focus more on the actual content.

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?

This means that to focus on somethings enough to do exceptionally well in them, you must do less things in general to center your focus on what you want to do well in. So by sacrificing less important things in your life, you are more likely to be excellent at the things that are most important to you because you will have more time to do only that. This can definitely apply in my life by cutting out things that I don't really need to do to learn or figure out new information or concepts that are new and confusing or can be used to build certain skills by making sure you always have time to practice them. It also improves the quality of the work you are putting in to something because even if you do less work, the work is of a higher quality if it is done deliberately. I think that this system could work in this class if I made sure to stay on task and not take advantage of more potential free time to mess around, it might be worth a try.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.
I really don't remember very much of this weekend at all, there was some sleeping and stuff I can tell you that.

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?
I would say that learning how to code in general has been pretty cool because that was not something that I was really familiar with before and now that I am its actually pretty cool.

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

This weekend I decided to indulge myself in some sleep because I have not gotten very much of that lately it and that was quite enjoyable, I also watched the Super Bowl even though the end wasn't very pleasant. Below is a picture of the emptiness in my head while I slept.
