DECA Regionals

I have just come home from DECA. It is an association of marketing students, and I am very excited about it. I hope that I enjoy the state level, because I passed the local level. It is very fun.

Notes

Recently I have been very busy trying to get my notes from all of my subjects typed up. I have large handwriting, so I like to condense my notes into typewritten notes. Anyway, I get the most notes in Science. I have exactly 25 typed pages of notes. 26 if you include the cover page to the notes section of my binder. In civics, I have 21 typed pages of notes. Those are the only subjects that I type, because they are the only subjects that I get big-time notes in.

My Time

The vast majority of the time that I have spent on my blog this weekend has been on the Bravenet features, so I have not had enough time to write more posts. I have greatly improved the eCard features. I am working on the FAQ, and the Horoscopes. I have spent some time updating on the site.

Marketing UP-TO-DATE

This is my marketing UP-TO-DATE post. I have been working very hard im my Marketing class. We are finishing up this semester, so I'm sorry to say that I won't be taking Marketing 2. I wanted to, but it was completely filled up. Marketing with Mr. Cayo has been extremely fun and entertaining. I just love the class. Recently, we have been preparing for the DECA competition, but that's another post. We have also been doing a group project that I have been working on yesterday with my group over at my partner's house. That should be a great project!

Information Processing UP-TO-DATE

In Information Processing we have been doing a lot of useless typing. I don't think that it is ever going to be or use to me in the real world. I at least hope that I don't have to use it in the real world! I bet that I will have to use it, because I hope to be an entrepreneur when I grow up. I don't think that all of the rules that we have to follow will be accurate by the time that I start a business. Anyway, I definitely am not liking this class. It's good that I'm only taking it for one semester.

DECA

In Marketing, we have been preparing for a DECA competition. That should be very exciting. It's a business competition where Marketing students complete a multiple choice test, then they do a role-play test with a judge. If you do well on this test, you can pass the district competitions, then you can go to the state competitions. After that, you can make it to the International Competition, where the prizes are tens of thousands of dollars, scholarships to different Ivy League colleges. I doubt that I can get that far, but it would be extremely exciting! In the International competition, the people come from all of the states.

Errors

I have a lot of new features, but with these some problems. I have been getting a message that says that there were errors in posting all of my posts. I think that this is because I have so many new features. I am excited about the new features, but I want all of my posts online. I have also had an increase in visitors. I am excited about that as well. later. view the archives! well the ones that are published :-)

Marketing UP-TO-DATE

We are doing lots of fun things in Marketing with Mr. Cayo. When I first came to freshman orientation, I learned that the juniors and the seniors seemed to like business classes. I truly wasn't sure what to expect, but I was impressed with Marketing. I have learned a lot of fun new material, and I am going on a trip with DECA which is a business challenge. You first go to districts, then states, then the international competition. I hope that I will get to the international, but I don't think that I wil be able to. The international competition is in Dallas, Texas this year.

Civics UP-TO-DATE

Nothing new is really going on in Civics, so I'll just give you some things that we do in there. I know that Mr. Provenzano does not like our class, but I think that he might not like me in particular. I'm not sure why though, because I try my hardest. He tries really hard to prove my point wrong, but he doesn't do that to the other kids. I can't really figure this out though. Read the archives and make comments!

Science UP-TO-DATE

We are doing a lot of unusual things in Science this week. Instead of normal classes, we are moved to the Auditorium and we are bunched with the other classes. We are watching this video on the rainforest, and I am not very interested, but I still do the worksheet. I'm not sur where the normal teachers are, because we are all with subs. I know that this has something to do with the new S-Building, because all of the classes that are there, would normally be in the new part of the building. I am curious to see when we will move into the new building.
