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

This weekend was so much fun! Friday night, I played in a double-header pep band game. That was a blast! Then, on Saturday, I went and saw my girlfriend in the show "Cinderella" at BVNW. She played one of the ugly stepsister's and STOLE THE SHOW! She was so good!! 

That night, we had a make-up Valentine's Day. We were both out of town for the actual Valentine's Day so we had to make it up! It was so much fun!

The perfect curriculum for me would be a mix of performing arts (Theatre, Singing, Dancing) class and teaching/common classes. I want to be a music teacher when I grow up, but I also want to perform on the side. This is pretty much what I am studying right now in school, except the level of performing arts training I am getting is not what I would prefer it to be. I spend my class time very well now so I would do the same. Some of the class titles would be, "Show Choir Advanced," "Acting," and "How to Teach Kids How to Sing."

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.
 

Colors are very important with emotions! When I see the color yellow, I think happy thoughts, when I see black I think darker thoughts. Based on your website or page, color scheme is very important. The color scheme is what colors you use and how you use them. If you are talking about a very serious matter, you wouldn't want to use yellows, pinks, or purples. You would probably use darker colors. Also, if you are talking about a happy, fun topic, you wouldn't use dark colors like dark red, black, or dark brown.

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?

When I do less work I am able to focus more. And when I do that, I can accomplish better outcomes with what I am trying to produce! My school work would be so much better and I would be able to learn things easier! Teachers get mad at us for not doing our best work or for not getting things in on time but they don't understand that the others are also assigning more homework! So we don't have a lot of time to do our best work. If teachers would all assign less work we could do more and focus more in class. This is a perfect quote! This would be the ideal working conditions for me!

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

This weekend flew by for me! I was in "42nd Street" and we performed this weekend! It went so quickly! The performances went incredibly well! They all were phenomenal! Everyone who came, loved it! I played a character named Bert Barry who is over the top and hilarious the whole time! It was so much fun playing him!

I love weekends where I get to perform! Because of that, this weekend was amazing!!

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 have learned so far is something in CSS! The hover aspect. When you hover over something you can make it do something special! And that is so cool! I really want to learn how to columnize things so that I can actually make my website look how I want it to look!

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

This weekend was a blast, especially the Sweetheart portion! I had an awesome group of some of my closest friends! Most of the people I have in choirs with me or have done shows with! Here is my group:

My date was my girlfriend, Ady Nichol Shaw! She looked INCREDIBLE! One of the girls in our group made signs for all of the couples! They were super cute! Here is a picture of my girlfriend and me holding our sign!

Sweetheart was so much fun!
