Eigthteenth and Educational Day

Today was very different from the other ICS classes that we’ve been having (independent work periods). Today we got new terms to add on to our Class Glossary. For every term we were given 60 seconds to come up with a brain-stormed idea, then Mr.Arkin would would write down a more formal definition down. We learned learned about the differences between hardware- is the physical components of a computer, and software- the programs inside the computer which can only be seen, and not touched, and much more. For homework, we were to add the new terms onto our glossary and make sure that the HTML and CSS are validated. Another important thing we learned today is the difference between FTP Client, and SFTP Client. Due to the exposition of our log in information, we are now to use Secure File Transport Protocol, instead of just the regular File Transport Protocol.

Also today was picture day, hope everyone was lookin’ good!

Seventeenth and Sort of Eighteenth Day

Oh gosh, I though the Class Glossary was due today at 22h00, so I was doing that until 22h20 until I realized that it wasn’s…I’ am so blind. Oh well, at least now I’m not going to have to rush it last minute. Though it is the reason why my blog post is on Thursday and not Wednesday. I’m editing this post right now, and when I went to View Post, it actually says Wednesday, September 29, 2010, SO I guess I’m not late. Right now it is 00h51, and here I am, blogging.
Anyways, today we had a full-on work period since today was the last period Mr. Arkin was going to let us work on our glossary. During class it was so quite, so unusual. That was pretty much for today…Oh! I got a new computer,so I’m pretty happy.:D

Sixteenth and Sick Day

Today my throat was hurting, so it was actually a sick day for me, and not like a ‘sick’ day (when the day is great cause it wasn’t). Today we didn't take any notes, we just went right to work. For homework we were to make progress towards completion on our glossaries. That’s pretty much it for today, I swear my posts, actually a lot of people’s posts are getting shorter and shorter. Right now I’m going to add a few things to my glossary. For example, a link to every letter (even though I don’t even have that much words for each letter) to raise my marks, since I already have a zero for my other assignment.

Fifteenth and Free Day

Today we learned about HTML lists: ordered; unordered and definition. It wasn’t new stuff because I used that in my assignment. We also learned some new words such as, ‘Hanging Indent’, ‘In Line Element’. For an ‘exercise’ we were to create an glossary for all the terms that were given to us, using the definition list HTML coding. Listing the definition terms (which were to put in the tags: ‹dt›), a formal definition definition and a brain-stormed definition definition (which were to put in the tags: ‹dd› ). For homework, we were to complete the skeleton of our glossary. Also, we found out about a different way for transferring files. It is a program called “Dropbox”. That’s pretty much it for today, but I want to point out something, maybe I'm wrong, but maybe I'm not. In my last blog I asked nicely for Mr.Arkin to leave a comment below stating whether or not he&squo;s going to let us have another period, but when I checked; no comment. Of course we all received the e-mail stating he’s going to talk about this in class, so maybe he thought he didn’t have to, maybe that’ it. But is it is not, then that means we are doing this blog everyday for nothing. If I'm wrong, please, just leave a comment and I will just delete the last few sentences. Mr.Arkin, just leave your comment below!

Fourteenth and (hopefully) Forgiving Day

Oh My Gosh!Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! I didn’t get mine peer marking sheet through. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I’m so dead. Everything is done, but just not the peer marking sheet, which might I remind you, is the most important thing you need to have on your assignment. Now I’m going to fail! Fail, I tell you, fail!!! I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life.

I should of listened to Mr.Arkin and do all those things earlier, so I wouldn’t of have to rush it last minute. Mr. Arkin, if you are reading this right now (which you should since you said you would), please be nice and just give us one more day, no one more period for me (or us, depends on if there’s any other person who didn’t catch the deadline) to get the peer marking sheet in. Please, you will be labeled “The Best Teacher Ever”!!! Please, or if you don’t want that then maybe you can open up the account again and give us Saturday to do it. I know you probably have family dinners, grocery shopping, and a bunch of other things to do on the weekend, but…wait that’s perfect you can go do all of those thing on Saturday, while giving us Saturday to put our peer marking sheet up. Or if you don’t want to do anything, and give us zeroes, then at least can you leave a comment, so I can prepare myself for the disappointment?

Thirteenth and Terrific Day

Today is the day, when I finish my Super-Power Autobiography assignment! Today was a full on work period because the autobiography assignment is due tomorrow. While doing my homework, I used all of the information Mr.Arkin taught us. I’m not even joking, all those character entities, image storage, margins, etc, was all used. I think I did a pretty good job, but I know there's always room for improvement. Tomorrow when my peer marker marks mine, I will improve. In class, Mr. Arkin was nice, and let us listen to the radio (Virgin Radio), where the songs we usually listen to are played. Tomorrow I’m not going to Room 218, I’m going to Studio 218, I wonder who the DJ is? Is it you?

Twelveth and Tumbling Day

Today, we didn’t learn much in class, though we were given instructions on peer marking. During individual work time, I learned about indentation. I learned that professionals usually use ‘ems’ because em1 is basically one letter in your font size. At home, I worked on my autobiography, I used to have so much imagination, but now I am really having some trouble thinking up of ideas.

In Geography we learned about the Earth and how it’s on a tilt and how that tilt affect our seasons. Unfortunately we were required to write multiple paragraphs at an University level, explaining why do we have the seasons. In English, we had a free studying period, and for French, we were to prepare for an irregular verbs quiz. Today went by pretty fast, and was kind of tumbling its way through. Anyways, just want to make a note to anybody who connects Filezilla, uses it, and then leaves it on connected without doing anything. I just want to say, please don’t do that, please dsiconnect so the people who does need it can go on. Thank you!

Eleventh and Erasable Day

Today, we learned about image storage. Mr.Arkin taught us,  instead of using the URL of the image we want to use, we can store all of our images into one folder. This way we can use a link that would lead to the image folder, containing the children, and selecting the right child image, from the parent folder.

Today was also Grade 9 Day, we did a lot of fun activities throughout the afternoon. There were tug-of-war, a sponge/water race, and a cheer-off. Personally I think that the cheer my class came up with was the most creative one, but unfortunately we  did not win the cheer-off. Anyways today I made some mistakes, which I regret, so today was erasable.

OMG!Tenth Day and Most Progressive Day Ever!!!

              If you ever bothered to look at my webpage, then you would see all the things that were improved. The different font style that I used, the background image that I used (but I am going to have to remove that later on because it is copyrighted. Other than, with the help of peers I was able to add a border to my webpage. Today we learned about the differences between margins and padding. Also, we learned about when to use pixels, and when to use points. We even learned about the importance on line spacing, of course, we were to check our spelling and grammar.
       
              Today was a pretty fun day, I do not have that much homework, but of course I would not expect none. Tomorrow, I'm expecting a fun day because it Grade 9 day! I hope it will be fun, and all of us grade 9 can all  meet with the other students who we do not have classes together.

Ninth and Just Ninth Day

Today we had class in room 218L, I mean Studio 218. Today Mr. Arkin taught us about using the right HTML character entities. We had yet another independent work period, where I was trying to find the CSS code for animations. This blog is going to be short because you can't really write anything on independent work periods since you are suppose to work independently, but of course we can ask for assistance from our peers and our teacher. It's the weekends, so I hope everyone have a fun weekend, I know I will. (one way or the other :P)

Eighth and Validated Day

Oh my Goodness! Can you believe it? The second week of high school is almost to an end! This week went so quick, I cannot believe it. This week has been ...fun. Today in class we were to use the nine Trouble Shooting Questions to validate our web pages, and work on our super-power autobiography. The Computer Science classes this week have been mostly been independent work periods. Well, I for one did, I had twenty errors (doubled from yesterday for some reason), but just now I had gotten rid of them all! Yeah!!! The rest of the day went well too. In French class we learned about masculine and feminine adjectives. In Geography we learned about scales, and we have a quiz tomorrow, which bring my day down from awesome to great. Then in English we read another story "Penny in the Dust", and we got some questions for that, which brought my day from great to good. Anyways tomorrow is Friday, and then comes the weekend, so I'm in a pretty good mood. :D

Seventh Day and On My Way to Success

I need to think up of more creative and original ideas for my titles... Anyways today Mr. Arkin let the people who's webpages weren't validated pair up, so we can discuss and help each other validate our webpages. I don't have that much to write these days since Mr. Arkin is letting us do the work we can't do at home at school. So my paragraphs these days are pretty short (hope that doesn't effect my mark O,o). My progress  over the last few days has been pretty okay because when I first tried validating my webpage at home I had 10 errors (no jokes, 10 errors!), but by the end of the class I had only 5, which means I was able to get rid of half of my errors. Yay!!! ^,^

The rest of day went pretty well,too. In geography we had a supply teacher, so we were able to work on our map assignment. In french we did a little work, but it was do-able. Last period English was kind of harsh, since we had to copy three pieces of notes. My hand was hurting by the time i finished copying, but on the bright side we don't a lot of homework, all we need to do is read a short story. So to sum it up today was pretty okay day. :]

Sixth Day and Still Alive!!!

*Breath In * *Breath out* Sixth class and I'm still alive!!! (barely though) Today, what we did was learn how to validate our HTML and CSS codes. After, we had a mini discussion with a partner on how we can be successful with our webpgeas by the end of the period. (and I do say, I believe everyone was pretty successful, at least me and my partner was :P)

Also, since half of us had trouble on one thing or another last night about our homeowrk and posting our HTML file on touque.ca, Mr.Arkin was nice enough to let us use the the period to put it up With the help of Mr. Arkin and some other peers, I was able to put my webpage on touque.ca. I feel so proud of myself. ^,^ Anyways the rest of my day was pretty good too, it was a late start day!!! YAY!!!! >,< Now, I'm going to validate my HTML and CSS code now, yes I am. *nod nod*

Fifth and The Day When I Was Completly LOST!!!!!

Today was a day of pure torture. Why? Because

1. I slept at 2:00a.m. so I was tired beyond believe
2. I woke up late and barely ate my breakfast when I realized that I was late for my ride
3.I got my English text book, which, I had to hurl around between the change of first and second period, and second period and lunch
4. I am so far behind on my webpage project (I didn't even start on the essay protion of my super-power assignment)
6.I was completly lost during computer science
7. The words on the projector was so small I couldn't see
8.I had no idea what to do until someone ...sort of... explained it to me
9. I had the tinest lunch ever, even though I was still femished from my even tinier breakfast
10. I almost fell asleep in French since the teacher truned off the lights for us to see the projector better
11. I got another map assignment from geography

When you have a day like this you would think of it as pure torture. In computer science class I just just lost, the only I was sure about was the fact that I was far behind on the webpage assgnment, the super=power assignment, and the fact that I was suppose to download Filezilla. Hopefully after I read the EVERYTHING on touque.ca about EVERYTHING, my day will become better. >,<

My Fourth and Fascinating Day

           Phew, just finished yesterday's blog and now on to today's. As you may know (if you bothered to read my previous post) I'm was getting 'it' out of my system, and boy did I ever. I was doing yellow with green, red and black, balck and white (of course it's balck background with white text), and all these random colours.

          Thanks yesterday's students host, who helped me with my code, I was able to experiment freely. Yesterday I was as lost as ever, and now I'm doing it like a pro, well as pro as I can be ^,^. Today I learn the different things I could do , such as putting my text in a box, adding background images, doing columes and varieting different fonts and so much more.

         I'm one of the student hosts today and I got to wear a pretty sticker >,<. Since it was the same supply teacher as yesterday's she didn't have any questions. The only thing me and the other student host has to do is help her close the blides down. The supply teacher is really nice, and not strict at all. Of course she's not as good as you Mr. Arkin (I'm such a kiss-up aren't I? xD). Class (and school) is about end, so I'm going to end this off now. :]

Thrid and Most Stressing Day Ever

          Today we had a supply teacher, Ms.Ecker. She was really nice and after the student hosts helped her, she just let us experiment with our website. My website was failing at the CSS part, unfortunatelym, I copied the link to the css docment wrong, so I spend most of the period figuring that out. In the end thanks to some of the other people, who were geniuses at doing the HTML and CSS codes, I was able to successfully creat my website. I learned that when doing the CSS code, you are suppose to use { instead of (.

          Okaiy I'm going to be honest, unfortunately I forgot to finish this blog post yesterday at home because I had to babysit my little brother, so I'm finishing this post now. What we did today was experiment with the HTML and CSS codes, so we can (as Mr.Arkin said) "get it out of our system, though since I couldn't do yesterday due to my unintelligent mistake, I'm getting it out of my system today. >,< Anyways today I shall remeber to post another blog :D

           I feel like an explore doing his daily journal about his (or in my case her) journey. Though conquering how to make webpages and adding link and all this codes, is pretty much like a journey to me. Fortunately I have the help of other students, and of course Mr. Arkin.

Second Day!!!!

Hello (to whoever is reading my blog)!!!

         Today was the second day of school, and my second Computer Science class. Today was really hard, we had to take so much notes. We learned new computer/webpage words/meanings, like what containers are (empty elements which you would fill in with what ever you want), and what's HTML (content)or CSS (Format).

           I was kind of lost since we were going kind of fast, basically when Mr.Arkin said "In you notes", I would just write what he's saying on my piece of paper. Though I was pretty caught up at the end, so no worries. I guess this is pretty much it, I think I covered what we learned today, I really hope this blog doesn't have to be in formal format because then i would be dead. 

Anyways, Blog To You (whoever you are) Later

First Day of School

         Today was the first day of this class (and every other class too). I actually didn't have any trouble finding it, probably because someone was helping me find the way. The teacher seemed ... in pain, and not the strict kind (thank god). I met a new friend and luckly had a few people whom I kew from before.

          Basically the class wasn't a total bore, we got two homework assginments, but who cares? I get to go on the computer without my mom telling me no (lucky me). So I guess this is pretty much it, this is so weird because I didn't blog before, EVER. Oh wells. Eh.... blog you tomorrow?
