it was expected, wasn't it...

I knew that the day I returned to school, I would be hammered with homework from all of my teachers and that the next two weeks will test my perserverance and determination and push them to their limits.

In Music, we were assigned an activity which involved playing a solo on our own instruments. I'll have absolutely no problem with that and can put that aside for this week so that I can focus on other things.

In English, we were assigned an activity which involved acting out a reality T.V. show which included characters from all the English Units (e.g. poetry, mythology, Shakespeare, etc,) with a duration of 21 minutes in a group of 7. This assignment will be fun and tough at the same time, but once again, I can put this one aside for a couple of days to focus on other things.

In ICS, we were assigned a blockbuster activity due at the end of the week which requires professional and organized (not to mention exquisite, extraordinary, exceptional, incredible, amongst other adjectives...) HTML, CSS, and writing skills because we have to write an article that focuses on a specific topic and educates the reader about the specific topic (I chose the history, development, and present and future use of Firewire, but might change it to Firewire vs. USB due to the word restrictions...).

I already conducted research on Firewire and found the perfect website (not Wikipedia) which focuses entirely on my topic.

Today, I spent three hours completely refiguring and changing my Website and their links so that it looks a lot more professional!!! Check it out (http://touque.ca/EC/ICS2O/students/2010-09/ICS2O7B/ZhangT/) although I still have to work on the Assignment and Glossary Archive and refine the Reference, but it's getting there...

I renovated my Web pages because today, Mr. Arkin stressed the importance of exquisite Web design and I decided that my pages were a bit under the weather.

Tomorrow, I'll finish (and start) my article and should have it up and running by then...
I'll also finish refining my pages so that they are of top quality...

It's getting late (only 9pm) so that's it...
