Spring Break

I'm so excited that it's almost spring break. This year I am going on a missions' trip with BCM to Mississippi. We are going to help with hurricane Katrina cleanup. We might also get to help build some new houses. I really am looking forward to this opportunity to go down there and help out people who still don't have a place to live. I just hope that we can get a lot done for these people and that all of us will be willing to work and have good attitudes while we are there. We are taking a charter bus, but the ride shouldn't be too bad because we are driving for 7 or 8 hours then staying overnight somewhere before we drive the rest of the way. We only get to be down there working for 3 days though. I wish we could be there longer. We do get to visit New Orleans while we are there. That should be a good experience since I've never been there before.

FAQ Page

For the project for English 303 I have to include an FAQ page on my site. I need to include information about what my site contains. I also need a section that explains the purpose and history. Then I need to include my contact info in case someone wants to reach me about the site. I want to include information about each of the projects that are linked to my site. I want to tell what the projects are and what they were for. I want to talk about how this site was created for my English class. Then I want to talk about the class and tell why I am taking it. Then I could talk about who I am and what my major is and such. I will include a link to the FAQ page on my home page and on each page in my re-vision site.

Writing I Need to Do for Project

I need to add more text to my project in order to meet the minimum requirement of writing and of pages. I could write a story associated with the room. I could talk about my roommate and describe her or how I know her. I could also reflect on how I feel when I'm in my living room or how I feel about living in the apartment in general. I can talk about people that come to visit me and describe who they are and why they come. I could also talk about what they think of my living room. I could add a section about the deck that is attached to the living room. This could be a whole page where I could describe it and talk about a story or something associated with it.

NCAA Tourney

I've been getting into the NCAA basketball tourney lately. I think it's because of facebook. I filled out a bracket, which I don't normally do, because I was asked to join a bunch of pools on facebook. The fact that it was free and the chance to win money also motivated me a bit. So since I filled out a bracket I've been wanting to watch the games and root for the teams I picked. The way I went about picking teams was kinda funny though. I really haven't followed basketball at all this season so I basically guessed. I haven't been doing horrible though. I'm pretty sure I won't win, but I'm beating my boyfriend and most of my friends so that's exciting for me. (I'm slightly more competitive than anyone should ever be.) Anyway, I'm thinking maybe next year I should pay more attention to basketball. It's a fun sport to watch, and I wouldn't mind being better at predicting who will win. However, it's hard to predict things like that so, who knows, it might be better that I just guessed.

Project 3 for English 303

The space I used in my first project was my living room at my apartment here in Morgantown. I like that we get to expand on this and be creative during Project 3. It will be good to add visuals so that people can see what the living room looks like instead of just reading a description. The visuals I want to include are pictures of the entire room, a picture of the plant, a picture of the decorations on my walls, pictures of the furniture, and pictures of me and my roommate doing the activities we do in our living room. Activities we do include doing homework, watching tv, playing video games, and eating.
