This week in class I've just been trying to complete the work I missed last week when I went to Colorado. I'm (kind of) close to being done but I should probably come in during lunch or before school one day to work on it. I just keep hoping I can be super-efficient during class and get it all done. The stuff that we're doing on Scratch is not my favorite. It seems so formulaic. The commands are all already written so it seems like I'm not really involved in the process of telling the computer what to do. This also doesn't seem to have a real-life application, like HTML did. I can't make a webpage with Scratch. I can only make a little cat or a flying hippo draw a square or turn in circles.
This weekend I competed in a regatta with my rowing team and I raced a four and quad. Both boats have four rowers but, in a quad, each rower has two oars and in a four, each rower has one oar. I won my first medals because we got 2nd place in both of my races. The regatta was on Saturday and it was a perfect rowing day: sunny but not hot with barely any wind. Saturday night, the Longhorns had a blowout game against Kansas, which just topped the day off perfectly.
Yesterday, we carved pumpkins (mine is a Longhorn, believe it or not) in preparation for Halloween tonight. My friend and I are dressing up as Winnie the Pooh and Piglet and yes, we are going trick-or-treating.
