3-31-17 NCAA Relfection

This project was honestly super frustrating and challenging most of the time. I don't know anything about basketball or computers so that made for a very difficult time for me with this project. Although, I learned that the little competition aspect of the bracket is fun and I can see how people enjoy it and look forward to doing this year after year. I didn't follow any of the games really, but I work at Paddy O'quigley's so, I guess I kind of unintentionally followed them while I was working during a game. I just heard through the grapevine about who won ad lost and was like hey I think they were on my bracket! It was kind of fun to see that a team you picked to win, won. I learned that neither google docs or excel are very beginner friendly when it comes to making things like this. A lot of the time i just found myself very confused and frustrated and not knowing how to complete the project and use these programs to their full extents, which got irritating. Nonetheless, I completed it and did better on the bracket part than i previously expected.

3-30-17 Favorite TV shows

My two favorite TV shows (both on Netflix) are Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and New Girl. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is about a girl who was trapped underground by an insane preacher for fifteen years then she is found and moves to NYC only having an eighth grade level education. She meets a man named Titus andromedon who is an aspiring and washed up actor all at once. Their landlord, Lillian, is wild and hangs out with them as well. Kimmy is a nanny for this extremely rich family and befriends the stuck up mother. I love the show because it touches on serious issues and talks about problems in the world while still being lighthearted and incredibly funny. The humor is so quick and sometimes subtle, I've watched the series about four times and I still find a new joke or see something I previously over looked. And, it's more like a sitcom, so there's not much focus needed and you can leave and come back anytime and you won't have all these story lines to follow. New Girl is another one of my all time favorites. It's about a girl (Jess) who moves in with three guys after she finds out her boyfriend of five years had been cheating on her. It's a sitcom, so again there's not too much of a story line, but there are some relationships amongst the friend group and what not, The characters are so funny and each one is so different. I have watched that show more times than I can count, I love it and it's so easy to watch.

3/21/17 Spring Break

Over spring break, I went to New York with BVHS choir students, We had so much fun sight seeing, going to Broadway shows, and eating all the fun and exciting food. I saw Waitress, Chicago and Wiked and was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the talent that people possess, I cried at every show because they were so amazing. Some other things I did were: Circle Line boat tour, 9/11 museum, china town, SOHO shopping, freedom tower, central park, Rockefeller center, and more. We were so busy I was completely wiped out by the end of each day v=because of all the walking and activities. I want to eventually live in New York so it was very cool visiting the college that I hope to attend next year, Pace University. It has such a cool campus, is a five minute walk from the financial district, AND you can see the freedom tower from the dorms. When I was in New York, we got hit with a snowstorm and got to stay an extra day because all the flights on the day we were supposed to leave got cancelled. It was sooo cold, but we got to venture out into the snow and my day group actually had a snowball fight in Rockefeller plaza until we were politely asked to leave. When I got home, I worked the entire rest of break. While break was so much fun, I didn't really get to relax much, but that's okay because summer is coming up!! woooo!!!

I dont have wifi to upload pics right now, I will do when I get home :)

3-2-17 infographic feedback

Carlie S: very fun, informative topic with pictures that were easy and fun to read. not very word-heavy and you can tell that she knows a lot about the topic she chose because all of the information seemed very educated and higher-level.

Lauren S: Ours were very similar so it was interesting to see the different information that we compared while still staying along the same topic line! Her color scheme went along with her topic and her topic was centered around something that very much so needs to be talked about which is cool to see other student passionate about things like that!

Litney G: A topic that i didn't know much about, so it was fun to see all that info. I'm not all that into YouTube, but it was fun to learn about that because it's this whole other world that I'm kinda in the dark about having not used it much, so it was definitely fun to see all that info presented in such a fun way!

Miranda O: Another topic I know very little to nothing about which was again fun to see all that information presented! Her color scheme and font were consistent throughout and went along nicely with her topic. It was a little word-heavy at times, but nothing too distracting!

Kenneth S: This one was fun because it's relatable! His color scheme was attention-grabbing and visually appealing with all the fun colors. It's interesting to see how much people spend nationally on something we don't really think much about. Very fun.

I enjoyed this project a lot!! Infographics are fun and easy to make and they add a certain pizzazz to a project that power point or prezi just can't accomplish!
