Reflection Week 16

The website is done! Although it may not be as professional as some website, I feel I really have accomplished something great for my first time with coding. I feel that after one marking period of learning how to code and another marking period of coding the website, I have made good progress with my website.

Reflection Week 15

Progress on this website has been made. Before I start, I would like to acknowledge that my time management skills have improved drastically as I am almost always able to find some time for my 20% Time Project. I'm still working on my website, and am getting some help from my brother and cousin. They know what mistakes I made and they can help me fix them. I'm hoping to finish my project next week as I am almost basically finished.

Reflection Week 14

Everything is on schedule, but I'm still having problems with my website. Since I wasn't able to do too much work on the website because of weekend plans, I was forced to leave the website in the state that it was last week. Although the website isn't exactly functional yet and there are still things to be tweaked, I'm hoping to iron out these problems in the coming weeks.

Reflection Week 13

To start off, it seems like this website hasn't gone as well as I hoped it would. I've been using some wrong tags and ids, and now I'm having some trouble fixing them. I found a tutorial to fix this issue, so I'll most likely try it when I get home. Other than that, I haven't done much. I'm still practicing coding, and it seems to be paying off little by little.As this school year comes to a close, I've already exceeded what I thought this page would look like, and I am quite proud of myself.

Reflection Week 11

Much of this wee was spent working on my English research paper, but I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of time for my 20% Time project. Work has begun on the website, but this is very minimal and almost unrecognizable. I have to keep going back to Code Academy and doing some of the lessons over again to jog my memory, but that fine because I'm finally learning how to code. This week was quite productive and I'm hoping next week will too.

Reflection Week 9

For my second 20% Time, I decided to learn how to code. I've just finished HTML Basics III. Now I can get on to learning how to make a website. Now that I've learned almost all the basics to HTML and CSS, I need to learn how to utilize all these elements in order to create a website. I've learned how to insert images, but I now very little about formatting them, or creating different tabs on a webpage, or formatting anything in general. Although I may know these basics, I still have a lot to learn before actually building this website.

Reflection Week #5

Although I did plan on continuing my lessons about HTML on Code Academy, I didn't do as much as I planned. I did approximately 15 minutes of Code Academy this week, and that was simply because I had a very packed week. With all the homework and tests that teachers are trying to pack in before spring break, my schedule was more than full. I'm still working on the lesson,"Build your own Webpage" and I'm not exactly sure how to get my own domain, but I'll sort that out later.

Second Semester Proposal

As the first semester comes to a close, so does my first 20% Time Project. Although I did have fun with it, I just felt that it was no longer something that I could extend for another semester. So I've decided to take on another challenge, more specifically something with computers. I was really split between learning about game design with the Unreal Engine, or learning how to code with something like Java, HTML, or C++. I've decided i will use something along the lines of HTML, C++, or Java. My ending goal is to be capable of creating some sort of game or website, preferably a website, that I could be happy with.

My Final Reflection

I guess this is finally over. Technically, I didn't learn anything, I just built off of what I already did. I chose to exercise more for my 20% Time Project. At the beginning of this project, I really hoped to decrease my mile time. That was the main goal I set for myself. Four months later, I've successfully managed to decrease my mile time from 7 minutes 5 seconds to 6 minutes and 34 seconds. It was easy, but I managed to finish the goal I set for myself. It isn't something I'd want to continue next semester. I found lots of mistakes that I could fix, but its just not something that I feel would interest me for another 4 months. This 20% Time Project was great, and I feel that I've really benefited from it.

Reflection Week 15

Well it seems like this is going to be my last weekly reflection before I round up my entire year. I haven't changed anything this week, simply because I feel that what I've been doing is actually good for me and I really like my schedule. Now on  to my schedule for this week. I preformed my Cardio exercises Monday and Friday, my Strength training Tuesday and Saturday, and my flexibility training on Thursday.

Reflection Week 14

This was a pretty difficult week for me. Because of an abundant amount of projects and tests, I didn't really have the time to work on my 20% time project. This week I was only able to exercise three separate days. I did some Strength training on Wednesday, some Aerobic Cardio on Friday, and some flexibility training on Sunday. I'll have to make up what I lost next week.

Reflection Week 11

Before I say anything, I want to state that my idea of creating this month long schedule was a total bust. I wrote it up, and for about one week, I was following it. All of sudden, things popped out of nowhere in my schedule, and I would have no choice but to skip my workout day. So I've decided I'll simply workout whenever I have time, rather than making a schedule. Now on to what I did this week. This week wasn't very productive. I only got to workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and a little bit on Saturday. I did Aerobic Cardio and workout on Saturday at practice. I had strength training Monday and Friday, and I had Anaerobic Cardio on Wednesday. I still continue to do Ab Workout 5 times a week.

Reflection Week 8

To start off, I would normally discuss what I've changed or improved, but this week I've haven't really had anything to improve. So now I'll go directly to my schedule for this week, and It was quite a weird week. Tuesday and Sunday were Cardio days,Thursday and Monday were strength training days, and compared to what I normally, Saturday was quite different. On Saturday I was at a competition from the morning to about 7:45 at night, so I felt I could count this as a exercise day, simply because f the amount of time and energy I spent at the tournament. So far I feel that my exercise has really helped me in tournaments. At this tournament, I felt that I could endure much more than I could after I came back from summer. That's about all I did for this week, and I feel that my improvements really have been shown in my performances this tournament.

Week 4

Week 4 was the first week after I've decided to follow the 5 times a week schedule. This week I've chosen for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Every was made 30 minutes as usual, and I chose two strength days, two cardio days, and one flexibility day. Tuesday and Thursday were my strength days, Wednesday and Saturday were my cardio days, and Sunday was my flexibility day. From this point I will be asking my coach about my workouts in order to have the perfect result for my sport, fencing. This would includes this like Leg strength training and running.
