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

During Thanksgiving, my extended family comes over to visit. My cousin is cool because we share a common interest in video games, and we play them a lot. They also bring their dogs over, and it's.... interesting to see how they get along with my dog. I'm also going to see Slipknot at the Sprint Center on Wednesday.

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

If you were to create a resume, you should put your name, obviously, and your accomplishments. You want people to think highly of you, so you should take it seriously. You could put your talents, where you graduated from, or volunteer experiences. You should also post a summary, contact information, and social media information. You're trying to impress people so that they will hire you, or whatever. Just post what you think other people would find impressive.

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

Aw, man. I REALLY wanted to talk about my weekend, because it was my birthday. Anyways, this quote means that designing something is about how you get to the product, and not the actual product. It relates to web design, in the struggle you have to go through to create a website. If you look at the code of a website, all of the characters are contributing to what you see on your screen. All of those characters are part of the site's design. If a site doesn't have good design, then very little of the site will be worth your time. Design is not just the visual and auditory appeal. Design is the core element to anything that you create. Also, Interstellar is awesome.

Reflect on your learning this semester so far in this class. Think about the first day you walked in to this room until right now. What have you learned about Web Design? What have you learned beyond Web Design? Explain yourself.

I have learned how to code in html. I've learned that coding is a struggle that you can't get through on your own. Html is a complicated language that requires a lot thinking to use effectively. However, it can also do some pretty cool things, so it is worth learning.

Tell me about your weekend. Give me details and photos!

My weekend was pretty standard, once again. I just hung out at my house and played Hyrule Warriors, which is such an awesome game. Since I did nothing else, I'll just tell you about the game. It is a hack-and-slash where you kill literally thousands of enemies with your favorite Zelda characters. It's like a fan's dream come true and I love it.
