Em’s Blogtime Fun

     It is the day after Thanksgiving and I know I am not the only one who says, ‘THANK THE HEAVENS IT IS BREAK.’  It’s not that the work load is too much, it is just that I need a break from the monotonous routine.  I don’t know how I did it in highschool.  I guess I was a little bit of (or a lot of) a slacker when it comes to school then too, but it was year-round without the awesome break between semesters.  I appreciate the breaks more than I could ever say.
     I have some very good news.  I don’t know if you remember an older post of mine (if not, scroll down and look!), but I posted a video project that me and two other students at IWCC did.  It was for a competition where we had to make an environmentally friendly and creative product out of plastic bags.  I found out on Wednesday that we won second place!  Not only did we get a very incrdible prize, but our video is entered in the national competition.  I’m not sure if we’ll be as successful in that, but I am very proud that our work was worthwhile.  I will post the video again for anyone who missed it in my earlier post and for those who don’t want to scroll down to find it.  Just click on the image below to be linked to the video.
                              
     The next two days of break will be spent working on the annoying amount of presentations that I have due next week.  Why do all instructors insist on giving power point presentations as final assignments?  I have 4 power points to complete.  It is not that they are hard or anything, it is just annoying that I have so many.  What happened to just giving lots of tests at the end of semester?  Or maybe I will have those too.  Break is awesome.
