Snow Week pt 2

This week in Business class, it was a little crazy. We finished watching peoples country presentations. I took notes on every persons Country...and when we took the quiz, I still did horrible! I didn't understand because I didn't talk during presentations and took notes...but oh well, it doesn't count as a quiz grade! Props to Veronica for remembering to wear forum...I think she should get extra points for remembering to wear it :P. We also started working on our Business Law project. I was with Emily (thank God because I love working with Emily). We didn't have that much time to work on the project, so I think for being kind of rushed and having pretty much no class time, I think we did pretty good! We had 2 more snow days this week! I am so glad that we do digital learning days, because I do not want to make these days up, not during spring break or any time! We had our whole class planned out in time slots...it was kind of intimidating because I like to do my work at my own pace, but it all worked out. We watched some videos, answered some questions, and overall business class was one of my favorite classes throughout the snow days. I hope that everyone has been working on their paper that is due Tuesday!!!!!! Its kind of scary because we are doing the paper without seeing the whole movie and learning the information not in class, but I know that everyone will do good because Mrs. Weser found a way to make the digital days awesome and actually teach us the information instead of giving us busy work.

SNOW WEEK!

Well... This week was very interesting. Thankfully PC has inclement weathers days and ways that we can do work on the days that we are out or school, or else we would be making up a lot. A lot of people complain about having to do the work, but I really don't understand why. I would rather do this everyday & never go to school again until graduation...but that's just me. I also like not having to get up at 5:30 and drive 30 minutes to school and sit there for 7 hours, when instead we could do this! But anyways, we had an interesting, kinda busy week. The quiz on Wednesday wasn't hard, but it was very long and I ran out of time without finishing :O. I never really like timed quizzes because I like to take my time, but its all good. I wrote my reflection for my groups donut business, and I am so happy to say that its over! Now I don't have to wake up super early and get to school earlier than should be allowed. I also don't have to worry about writing the reflection because I did it :D. We are working on a new project this week. My partner is Emily <3 and we have the subject of Employment Laws. Hopefully we get some time to work on it when we get into school, so Emily and I can sit down and focus on our work and knock it out! Hopefully we are back at school next week with no problems. I also hope that our business field trip can be rescheduled so I can use the resume I worked really hard on! I think it would be a really good experience for everyone in the class to go and talk to the many different businesses that are going to be there. Also if we end up not going...I hope we all get our $5 back. :P

Muffins in the Mornin'

This week we had our first test. Hopefully everyone did good! I think everyone had to have done good because it was a lot of review from the stuff we learned in econ! The most exciting thing that we did this week however, was when we got to create our own idea to make money. Emily is in my group again and I'm so happy <3 also Gavin is really cool as well, so glad hes in it too! But we came up with some awesome ideas, but the top two ideas were selling muffins in the morning. We were going to do cookies at first, but then we realized that since it was in the morning, no one would really want to buy cookies, so we decided to go with muffins (and 2 of the 4 days we are also selling doughnuts). We found really good prices for the food items that we are buying, so we plan to make awesome sales and hope that we can really make a good amount of money! Tomorrow is our sales pitch and I'm nervous, but excited at the same time. I'm excited to see the people that are coming to watch our class tomorrow and to see if they want to invest in our business and give us our $20 to start up our sales. I really hope that someone wants to give us our start up money, and we don't get rejected by all of the investors like we saw in one of the episodes of Fishtank today! But Mrs. Weser said that hasn't happened yet in her class, so I don't expect it to happen tomorrow!
