What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

For Thanksgiving we will be going over to my Grandpa's house. This is the very first time that we will have had Thanksgiving at his house. We are also not sure who else is coming or if any relatives from his side of the family are coming over.  We do have a tradition which is that every year we make our homemade cheesecakes.  After spending the afternoon at my Grandpa's we plan to go over to my Aunts house and hang out and play games. I all ready know that this Thanksgiving will be a lot different than all the past ones.  It will probably be the most difficult Thanksgiving I will have to face too. I just hope to have a good day with family and even though it will be different, I hope it will still be a good Thanksgiving.

Go out and look up a what all goes on a resume website. What can you find? Include an example image if possible.

A resume on a website will defiantly include your name in larger text in a very visible spot along with a profile picture. It might also include what education you have received, who you have worked for before and what the job was, what skills you have, what you are good at, where you are from, your phone number and your email, what you do in your free time, links to your social media, and some of your experiences. Be creative beyond words.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design?

User Experience is the experience someone has with an app or a website. The experience could be a good one or it can be a bad one. It's almost like the impression that the app or website left on that person. If it was easy to navigate and user friendly, it probably left a good experience on the user. If it was hard to navigate and frustrating to use, it probably left a bad experience on the user.

Something that has been user friendly for me is the iPhone. It is very simple compared to the Android but it's really easy for anyone to learn how to use while the Androids are more complex and set up more like a computer and are great for people who are good with computers but are more complex to learn how to do things on them than on the iPhone.

Consider the quote below. What exactly do you think it means and how does it relate to Web Design?


It means that designing isn't just choosing colors and slapping them up on a website or magically pulling a new iPhone out of nowhere.  It means that you actually have to design the inside and work really hard to make the product. It's like using html and css to make a website.

This weekend I got to play my last tournament with my sisters softball team. I'm not allowed to play legally with them anymore because I'm too old. I have to move up to U16.  The tournament was a cancer benefit tournament. It was dedicated to, the team that we took this picture with, head coach Larry who has stage 4 colon cancer. He was also one of the players dad.  We did end up taking first place in the tournament which was a huge milestone for this team. I got to pitch in the championship game so it was a really cool honor to get to pitch in such an important game and then walk out with the first place title. It was a sad, happy and cold weekend but it was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time.
