It's the last day of school! Yea, that's right. I'm basically done with high school. To commemorate this milestone in my young life, I rode my bike to school. I was a friend to the environment, and it feels good--I highly recommend.
So yes, Web Design is ending as well. And with the end of web design, this blog will be interred. Literally put into the ground with all the other abandoned blogs of people who realized they just didn't have that much to say/couldn't believe people weren't following their blog. I just don't have the desire to continue writing about myself. But to the three people who read my blog(overestimate? probably!)--don't worry! I know there are plenty of other blogs about a sarcastic teen's boring life.
Summer is here. I'm planning on reading, getting a chia pet, and patronizing a few neighborhood lemonade stands. Sweeeeet.
To lemonade mixed with powder and ceramic animals that grow foliage,

a website is forming
Guys! Get excited! My website is actually starting to form. It doesn't look awful! Hopefully I'll be able to finish it in a week...because that's when I'm done with HIGH SCHOOL! YES! I am so excited! There are lots of parties, gifts, and general joyous celebrations in store for the rest of May!
Sorry for the overuse of exclamation points. And for sounding like a prepster. Because I'm not really, at all. Usually I'm sarcastic and a little angsty. But how can you not be happy and excited when summer is approaching?? The other day I went out and sat in the sun. It was a beautiful, mild (comparatively) ninety degree day. I put on sunscreen, of course! No skin cancer for me. Mmm, the smell of Coppertone and sweat. I love summer.

work day
Hello Poppitt! Hahahaha...yes, I make myself laugh.
[insert clever transition to blog about my job]
So I'm working today. I got a job (Qorst idea ever, by the way. No one told me to get a job. I just decided to apply, and now I'm fifteen hours short on free time every week. ) at Red Mango, a delicious frozen yogurt place. It is delicious; I'm not just saying that because I work there. I frequently use my 50% discount to buy tasty yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, and almonds.
What's the point of this post? I'm not really sure. I'm working today from 4-8pm. I'll probably get some fro-yo.
Okay later,
Alice

ummm....
The day has come where I really don't have anything to say. Not even about food.
But still I must blog.
I must blog because I want to get a good grade in website design. Aahh, yes. I care about grades, a lot actually. Who cares that I've learned how to make a website? Not me. It's all about the grade. What a sad, pathetic view of education. At this point, I've basically abandoned the--"I love to learn attitude"--and adopted a "I just want to finish with good grades".
Real endearing, yes?
Too tired to care that she's a total grade grubber,

CSS
CSS is the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously.
Sure it's a little hard to grasp at first. But once you've linked a series of pages to a CSS, making websites becomes so much easier. Changes you make to one page apply to every page. Yay for innate continuity and fluidity! Not to mention, you don't have to type in code. Everything can be done in a design mode; it's like working in word except for the internet.
Images, links, and tables. They're all so much easier in CSS. I just need some more experience working with CSS, and then maybe my webpages will start to look legit. Yes, I said that.

making a website
As my web design class comes to a close, we have a new project to design a website for a "client". Well, I asked around and my friend, Betsy, decided that she could use a website. She's kind of a spectacular writing, so I'm thinking that the website can be a way to publish her poems or short stories.
But in the end, it's what she wants that matters. Which should be interesting. Not that Betsy is a difficult customer or anything. I just don't have that many skills in web design. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to produce the "website of her dreams".
Just a little worried, though. I have plenty of other things to stress about. Work, school, the usual.
Peace, love, dove,

Assignment
Actions speak louder than words. And there's not a more apt example of this phrase than the representation of Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley. The film details the rise of Apple and Microsoft through narration by some of Steve Job's and Bill Gate's closest friends--Steve Wozniak and Paul Allen, respectively. The depiction of Jobs, in particular, is unflattering. His actions in no way reflect his words; Jobs' hypocritical nature vilifies him.
Steve Jobs has these great, meaningful world philosophies in the film. He's all about creativity, love, and peace. It's very hippie, likely influenced by Jobs' stint at Cal Berkeley--infamous (or famous, depending on who you ask) for it's counter culture, rebellious ways. Jobs is depicted at the beginning of the film fleeing a protest at Berkeley of some kind. Immediately after this scene, Jobs declares his intent to be a revolutionary and change the world. I assumed that Steve would undergo this revolution in a Gandhi-like manner, with peaceful demeanor that supported his supposed values.
But my assumption was incorrect. Once the small, garage-based Apple company--that started as some friends just hanging out and making computers--begins to make an impact, Jobs transforms. His physical appearance changes: he shaves his beard in order to be more "bank" friendly ambition, cuts his unruly, long hair, and wears a suit. Even when Jobs resumes his hippy look--he sports cut off jeans and a t-shirt for most of the movie--it's clear he's already sacrificed his personal values in order to succeed.
Or maybe they weren't truly his values at all, rather an idealistic musings. Because just like his physical appearance changes with Apple's success, Steve's personality changes as well. He yells. And yells. And yells some. He ridicules his employees and demeans them; he starts an inter company feud between two project groups. All his peace, love, dove philosophy that was result of his world experience and the basis of Apple is forgotten. The pinnacle of this demonic side of Jobs is his refusal to father his daughter. He ignores his former girlfriend and won't even provide child support. The idealism is gone...and all that remains is hypocrite. ***

Nap time for seniors
Naps are the best. Just saying. I took a stellar forty-five minute nap the other day. The definition of a lazy Sunday? I say yes.
I was reading some Econ, trying to study GDP and CPI. It was going pretty well. But then I got a blanket out--I was cold, okay!--aaand I fell asleep. Something about being wrapped up in a blanket, being warm and snuggly, and reading not that exciting Economic theory just makes me sleepy.
I woke up groggy but satisfied. Then I went to choir practice. I have a beautiful voice; I think that's why my choir director never gives me solos. He doesn't want to make everyone else jealous.
A typical Sunday,

Sur La Table
So, I got a magazine from Sur La Table the other day. The kitchen supply store, you know. And it had a picture, a photograph if you will, of a delicious juicy steak. I want meat.
On the subject of tables! (Great transition, right? almost as awkward as the Prom invitation "show" yesterday) We're working on tables in Web Design. It's more complex than anything we've done yet, but I like it. It appeals to my OCD, keeping everything in nice, orderly boxes. And it's easier to align pictures and text because you can use the align attribute within the table tag.
Oh, I also like how complex the html code for tables looks. It makes me feel smart writing in a secret language that produces images and text and what not.
One week until meat,

....
There's a reason I don't keep a diary; I don't really like the whole writing thing. I've always had a problem with short, choppy sentences.
Case and Point:
I don't like to write. I do like to read. That's why I take AP English. Blair is blogging right now.
Beautiful prose, yes? I am extremely eloquent, and eloquent people often use the word extremely. And very. And incredibly. Basically, I am the bane of my English teacher. He crafts these intricate sentences explaining how Hamlet's soliloquys examine subjectivity--"To be or not to be!" (Heeey, pretty long sentence!) Hamlet is a idiot and a coward. I don't like him.
Hamlet asks "To sleep?", and I say yes. Go sleep. Go home. Go away. And if you're aware of the metaphor--
GO DIE!
~Alice
P.S. I do see the value in reading Shakespeare. I just not a fan of Hamlet.

Food?
Macaroni and Cheese. Apricot. Granny Smith Apple. Salmon. Pink Sherbert. Asparagus. Eggplant.
Yes, these are some tasty food that I like. But more interestingly--not that food by itself isn't infinitely interesting--they are all current Crayola crayon colors. Talk about creative! Back in the day, when I was just a young child (because I am sooo old now...not), Macaroni and Cheese was the coolest, most unique, and only food-named crayon around. Obviously, Crayola has been doing some renaming.
I would definitely check out this Crayola website:. It has the history behind each current color. Vivid tangerine was actually introduced in 1990. I guess I missed that one.

colors
This is completely hypothetical. COMPLETELY. I would never do this to my kid.
Parents teach their kids colors, right? Well, what if a parent told their child that green was red. And red was green. That poor child would be incapable of communicating colors to others. My Christmas tree is red. The grass is red! Umm....no it's not. At least according to the standard. The words red and green are really just arbitrary representations of the color itself. (Not unlike how hexadecimal codes in html are symbols of the amount of red, green, and blue in an image--little web design shout out).
In the same vein, we probably all see colors a little differently. The way the light bends into our eyes, the way the cones on a retina process that light, and even what we have assumed to be the standard for a color affect the label we give to it. I remember talking to one of my church friends about this PURPLE dress. She was convince that it was blue. Obviously, we were seeing the dress differently or someone had told her that purple was really blue. But trust me...it was purple.
Sorry if this didn't make any sense.
Until the next rant,

Scissors
Cryptic title, yes? I got a haircut! It's short. Really short. I got about five inches cut off, and my hair now comes just below my chin. And that's when it's wet. My hair is curly, and when it dries it is most definitely above my chin. I haven't had hair this short since I was six and I had a chili-bowl haircut--I looked like a boy).
I don't think I look like a boy now; I just look different. My mom says I look collegiate, but I'm not sure. I'm just a little freaked out that I can't pull my hair back into a ponytail!!
Free of five inches,

Veggie Time
So I have been officially meat-free for a week.
And let me tell you, I want a cheeseburger. Just kidding...well sort of. But really going vegetarian for Lent has been fun. I like figuring out my meals, working in different sources of protein. Alleluia for hummus! (oh...not supposed to say that during Lent)
Here's a typical veggie day:
Breakfast: 1 egg+ 1 egg white+ goat cheese in whole-wheat tortilla
apple
Snack: 2 clementines
Lunch: salad + whole wheat pita+hummus (I have been totally digging Mediterranean food)
Snack: brussel sprouts (....they're delicious!)
Dinner: pizza (always a good vegetarian option--pasta too)
I do miss meat. Some chik-fi-la sounds really yummy right now. But I'm managing. Only like...30 more days of no meat.
Beating the beef blues,

Pictures, Images, and Photographs
No one says photographs anymore. It's always pics, photos...what's with all the abbrevs! I like that photograph. Will you photograph us? Photograph is making a comeback. I'll will def( be saying it more often.
Anyway, assignment time. We've been learning how to put images on a webpage. Finally, my webpages aren't the most boring things ever! I have a striped pink background on one. I even made a logo (hence the logo discussion a few posts below). Maybe next I will put a photograph on one of my pages. I'll be using a raster image, because they are compatible with photographs. And I'll probably use a jpg, medium quality; high quality will make my website load super slowly. My pages are already not the best or most interesting. A long loading time will make my page both frustrating and boring.
Maybe I should start photographing. That way I'll have plenty of photographs to place on the webpage. I'll just go get that camera my parents got me for my birthday...oh wait, that didn't happen.

Technology
Wow, I'm just whipping out the posts this week.
So not! We've just had a lot of assignments. And this assignment is about the interplay of school and technology. Specifically using your phone and other portable gadgets to study/organize your life. Well, I am not one of the lucky ones to have an iphone or a blackberry or a droid. I have a simple little phone. It used to be super cool! I have a LG chocolate. Aaaand I don't really do anything but call or text message with it.
But! My phone does help me out with school. For one thing, I frequently mass text message my friends to find out what the homework assignment is. Also, my technologically savvy physics teacher sends out text message reminders about class meetings or free dress days. And most importantly, when my eyes are drooping and dozing off whilst studying biology is inevitable, I set an alarm on my bright blue LG chocolate. When I happen to rest my eyes for a second, I'll wake in an hour, rather than nine at night.
It may be lame, but it's my phone! I'm glad to have it as an alarm.

Dallas and Snow?
It's been snowing now for...more than three hours. Ummm, I live in Dallas. This DOES NOT HAPPEN. Let me repeat--it does NOT snow in Dallas. I would say about once a year it ices. School closes for a "Snow Day", but really it's just frozen rain. But today, flakes are falling. I'm walking in slush. There are giant eight-feet snowman cropping up (check out Blair's blog for a pic Big Red Bow).
I like the snow..I do. But birkenstocks and a sweatshirt are not the proper snow attire! Maybe that's why I'm being kind of a crabby apple, as my mom would say. I don't know. Snap out of it Alice! Enjoy this once in a lifetime snowfall. Goodness gracious!

an assignment
I have decided that logo designers are legitimately geniuses. The amount creativity and business savvy it takes to create a logo is...well, a lot!
A logo must be:
*Distinctive/Recognizable. You can't just rip off another person's idea. If your new soda's logo looks like Pepsi's logo, any advertising for your soda will be associated with Pepsi. The well-established brand always wins. (And copyright issues?). Plus, you want to be creative and distinguish your product from the other products available. Oh that soda with the crazy cool turtle logo? Love it!
*Clean/Crisp/Simple. A log can't be messy, with jagged lines and randomness. Because of it's potential wide use, it has to be stream-lined. Concise, if that word can be applied to a graphic.
*Relate to your product/company. You may have the best flower design for your logo, but if the subject is monster trucks...that doesn't really make sense. Unless the monster truck rally is called flower stomp or something.
To end this little logo assignment, here is a picture of the FedEx logo. Very recognizable (because it has the name in it) and secretly clever. Did you ever notice the arrow between the E and the x? I didn't until now!

Reaquainted With An Old Friend
So I'm two weeks into my website design class, and I've learned a lot. I can make a decent webpage. Well, a page with background color and text. And a title! But I'm improving, for sure.
Surprisingly the best part so far of website design has been using a PC again. Hello old friend! I got a macbook two years ago, and since then I usually avoid the desktop PCs at my house. They're slow, and I'm awkward and clumsy whilst navigating them. But I don't really have an option for my class, it's working on a PC...or not taking the class. Sooo, hello again real keyboard and mouse and control+alt+delete.

Mmm...chocolate
In celebration of National Chocolate Cake Day, I am going to wax briefly on the joys of this most tasty treat. Oh, cake. Even when you're bad, you're good. Grocery store cake? I'll eat it, cloyingly sweet, artificial frosting and all. A cake that completely falls apart because I took it out of the pan before it had cooled properly? I'll eat it--and have eaten it...right off the kitchen counter.
Oo, dinner time! (My mom just ballyhooed (funny word!) to me) Trust me, there is more to be said about cake. But right now noodles are calling my name.
Oodles of Noodles!

A little Intro
Hi...universe? That's a little disarming. Aaaand totally not true. Because so far, I am the only one who has visited this blog. Yay for one follower! So, take two on the introduction.
Hi Website Design Class!
This is my first ever blog post. I feel like I've already plagiarized the movie, Julie&Julia. I'm pretty sure Julie said something exactly like that in the movie. Do you ever get that feeling that nothing you say or do is original? That you're completely lacking in creativity and individuality? Well, I certainly do.
Anyway, this blog is an assignment for my website design class. I'm going to try and be witty--I like to think that comes naturally. Based on that comment, I guess arrogance comes naturally to me too...oops I'm obviously making a really good first impression. Oh well, Happy National Pie Day.
Ciao!

Do you ever get that feeling that nothing you say or do is original? That you're completely lacking in creativity and individuality? Well, I certainly do.
Anyway, this blog is an assignment for my website design class. I'm going to try and be witty--I like to think that comes naturally. Based on that comment, I guess arrogance comes naturally to me too...oops I'm obviously making a really good first impression. Oh well, Happy National Pie Day.
Ciao!
