Status update! Tell me where you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

I still have a lot of work left to do. Last week, i tried, but didn't get a lot of things done because i think that I was too hung up on the fact that I didn't know how to do something. I ended up figuring it out, and made lots of progress on Friday. I don't think that I can be finished by the end of the hour tomorrow, there is just too much left to do. To get the highest quality work produced, I think that end of the day on BLOCK or by the beginning of the hour Friday is a more realistic deadline.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

My family is actually building a house, so we decided to stay home this Spring Break, and try to save a little money. It was really nice being able to just stay home and relax. I think that I probably watched 10 movies over break, and 3 of them were in the theater. I saw Frozen, again, as well as Non-Stop and Divergent. They were all really good. One day, my mom, sister and I went to the World War 1 museum because it was an extra credit opportunity for my AP Euro class. Another day, we went shopping at the Legends. I liked going there because their J.Crew store had 50% off everything. Also, after the NCAA tournament started, there was a lot of basketball for me to watch, I had KU winning it all, but oh well. Although I didn't go anywhere warm or exotic, I liked being able to spend some time with family and just relax.

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.

The brainstorming packet is extremely helpful. It allows me to easily create my website, because it is already all planned out. Although at first it was annoying, and I didn't want to plan out my whole website, I am glad that I did.At this point in the project, I am glad that I have this packet.

Are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

I am 100% on track. The small checkpoints are really helping me because now I know where I need to be. Without them, I would be worried that I am lagging behind, which is not the case. However, I feel like sometimes, I am ready to take the next step, but I'm not sure what that next step is supposed to be. I don't want to work ahead because I am afraid that I'll do it wrong. So even though I am where I should be, I don't feel confident enough to work ahead.

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If your answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

My concept  is unique, but not unheard of. Also, it is something that people would actually use. It's functionality and attractiveness will be appealing to my customer. If anyone else in our class has the same idea as me, then I will be very surprised. Hopefully, my vision is executed to a level of excellence.

What product have you decided to feature/sell on your product website? Explain why you've chosen this product and remember, the sky is the limit on this project!

The general theme of my website is "Rainy Days". Different products on the site will be rain boots, jackets and umbrellas. I want a pair of Hunter boots, and that inspired me to create this website. Also, there aren't very many websites devoted to rain gear, and I wanted to be original. Hopefully I am able to execute this website nicely and have it be visually appealing, as well as functional.
