End of Week 1

So today was a little hectic. It was the last day of the first camp, and we weren't done with our projects yet, so Ari and I got there early to work on our HTML webpages. We were the first ones to get there, so it was kinda weird. I actually got quite a bit done with mine in the half hour that I had to work on it. Linky got there after us, then Jenny and Cassy, and then Belle. After that, too many people came in at the same time for me to be able to list them.

We went outside and did the human knot. We split into two groups and attempted to untangle ourselves. My group only got untangled because I switched hands with someone. Originally, my group was two different circles, so I just switched hands so that we could be one circle. We finished before Ari's group so we got to help them. They were in the same predicament, but they didn't try what I had done, either because they didn't want to, or didn't know if they could.

When that was done, we went over to the steps and took our group picture. I hate doing the silly picture because I never know what to do. Thankfully, Linky stood behind me and was messing with my hair.

Open build was after that, so I devoted it to my HTML. My fake business that I created was a store that sold gifts for twins. I decided to do this because I always have such a hard time getting gifts for Ari. Most of the things my business sold were things that I wish I had. I may or may not be getting Ari a gift from my business.......maybe.....so don't tell her! Shhh. It'll be our secret.

I finished my project pretty early, so I had Noor come over to where I sat so she could get it on her flash drive. All of my images were pictures I had saved to my laptop, so I had to put all of them onto Noor's flash drive. It made me regret saving them instead of using the URL. Oh well. I learned for next time. We went to the presenting room for a run down from Jen, and then lunch after everyone's projects were saved to a flash drive. Lunch was Mexican food. It wasn't my favorite, but I still liked it. I loved the flautas. Mom, Karim, and Noel came for lunch, so we ate with them. It was fun.

After we ate, we went into the presenting room. Noemi was first with LiveCode, and then we went through with the original schedule. I was third for HTML. People were laughing, so I think I did ok. My mouth always severs its connection to my brain when I present, so I'm not all that sure what I said was appropriate. Oh well. We finished up around 2:30. Ari and I showed Noel and Karim our codes and projects during the open lab time. I had 509 lines of code for one of my webpages. It was actually closer to 470 lines of code when you account for spacing and unnecessary pieces of code. But still. It was a lot. When we were ready to go, SP and Noor got my mom to take home a huge tray of leftover food. It was funny seeing them try to convince her. I was so tired from the day's events that I fell asleep when we got home. I was asleep until 7 at night. It was a nearly 4 hour long nap. It was awesome.

Ok. Blog prompt. My favorite memory was helping Belle with her projects. It made me feel very knowledgeable and helpful. I miss being a camp assistant, but I love being a camper as well. Helping Belle allowed me to help like a camp assistant but still be a camper. It was nice. I'm so glad to be coming back next week.
