3 Day Weekend

      First off, let me say that I am really liking Jeroo. I was skeptical of writing my own code again (as opposed to dragging little blocks to make commands) but I feel like the Jeroo labs are like simple computer games. Often, I will sit down at the beginning of class and think that an hour and half seems like a long time. An hour and half later, I feel like the time flew by. It is nice to have a class like that at the end of the day.


    I couldn't believe the other day when I realized that we have less than two weeks until Thanksgiving and, to top it off, we have a three-day weekend this week. Tomorrow, my friend and I are getting together to make T-shirts for a paintball game we're playing in December (though neither of us have ever been paintballing before). On Saturday, I plan to go to the Farmers' Market, which I haven't been able to do for a few weeks because of rowing. After the Farmers' Market, I'll be watching copious amounts of football, including the UT game which should (I emphasize, should) be an easy win.

    Sunday morning is the Race for the Cure, which I have done almost every year for about 10 years. I'm organizing a pre-race breakfast for a small group from our neighborhood. We have done the race in a group since one of the mothers on our street was diagnosed with a terminal case of breast cancer. This is the 10th anniversary of our first race as a neighborhood so my sister and I thought a breakfast would be nice. I'm especially excited to walk/run this year because the organizers moved it back downtown.

Here's hoping for an awesome three-day weekend!

Scratch

This week in class, we have worked on Scratch. I have finally caught up to the rest of the class after missing two class periods for my visit to Colorado.

Scratch has been growing on me, surprisingly enough. Apparently, we're going to stop working with Scratch today, though.

Yesterday, we played our Senior/Freshman vs. Sophomore/Junior Powderpuff Football Games. It was awesome and super-intense. We won in overtime after a great showing by both teams and the cheerleaders on both sides (although, I must say I was impressed with the Freshmen guys' cheerleading led by Jes Martinez).

Tonight, I'm going to the Reagan game (first football game of the year for me!) and tomorrow, I am going to the UT vs. Tech game with my dad. I'm desperately hoping that we win, especially considering that Tech beat Oklahoma and Oklahoma beat us (three-way tie all over again?). I've been in football withdrawl for the last two weekends because I've been to busy to watch. It's going to be great to watch a bunch of games this weekend.

Adios until next week!
