Log

Tuesday 
Today we had a work day and we were able to work on our paper for our portfolio due on Thursday. I worked on my this i believe paper trying to  make corrections that Mr. McArdle sent me in an email a while back ago. I hope that we all get our paper revised and prefect for our portfolios.   
Thursday 
Today Mr. McArdle went over how to cite paper on a slide show posted to the English blog. We learned that we should never use easy bib or any other helpful websites because they are outdated. We learned all the ins and outs to MLA format citing for book and web sources. I aslo learned that you need to cite where you get your pictures from. Even though it was a bit boring of a class it was very informational and helpful and im glad that Mr. McArdle went over the information. We also had a small amount of time in the end of class to work on our papers.

Sunday

I had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend i saw all my friends and family. I had a great food and great company!!! I also had Christmas with my family this weekend cuz it was the only time my whole family could get together and i got a new camera and gps.I cant really recall any thanksgiving argument except my sisters fighting over the same boyfriend. The whole argument was all pathos cuz they were just talking about their feelings. so overall all it was a productive weekend but this is a horrible blog cuz im talking on the phone at the same time.

Whip my Hair
