Today Jackie and I started our wiki page. Even though I know this is going to be so much more fun than studying for a test or some thing like that. The thought of the next two weeks is kind of stressing me out. When I first tried to get on this website to write these two paragraphs, it didn't let me for some reason and I was freaking out that I wouldn't be able to do this on a Mac (even though I'm sure Ms. Tucker has done this many times before ha-ha). Even though I usually like to go above and beyond for projects like this, I'm concerned about this one because it is constructing a website (and sometimes I’m computer challenged).

Today Jackie and I constructed our timeline for the next two weeks. I'm pretty glad we were required to do this because it will help me stay on schedule with this project and I won't get behind. At first, when Jackie and I both were trying to edit the website at the same time, it acted kind of funky (which also scared me) and so Jackie was creating the timetable on the website while I told her what to write on each day, so it worked out pretty well.

Second day of making the wiki :) During class I got pretty stressed out because it wouldn't let me edit things that Jackie had done on her computer (i.e.-timeline) and so it was really...uber duber annoying. I guess I'll have to make do with what we have though. This project seems so much easier than I thought it was going to be, but I'm still worried about going "above and beyond" to get an A. I'm also glad we have partners for this assignment. Ha-ha I really don't think I could do it without the help of Jackie (even though she says she is computer challenged she’s been really good with the website so far ha-ha)

Today Jackie and I mainly did general research about our bacteria (don't no how to spell it). I mainly used Britannica and got ATON of information about it...well not as much as I would've liked (I mainly received information about streptomycin, an antibiotic that is made from our bacteria). I can already see it might be harder to find information about one category than some of the others but it won't be that bad, in the end. I'm pretty sure Jackie and I can get an A :) we work really well together... YAYYYY JACKIE :)

December 5, 2007

Day three :) Was really stressed out earlier I couldn't find one database other than Britannica with information. I found some really good sites on the free web though. I'm not looking forward to doing those analysis sheets though.... just another thing to add on to the workload :( This project doesn't seem bad at all right now. I'm still seriously worried about the above and beyond part though.... really worried ha-ha

I've been talking to other people about it and tons of them seem way more stressed than I am which kind of worries me...ha-ha I feel like I should be just as stressed as they are. I'm not sure maybe we got an easier bacteria than someone else did...doubtful though ha-ha they all seem pretty complex. I really just want Christmas break to be here and these two weeks including this project (despite how fun it is:]) to be over.... in a huge way ha-ha

December 6, 2007

Today wasn't nearly as bad as the others--I found information really easily--it was from the free web though so I'm not sure if it is 100% credible but I need to do the free web analysis sheet. We had a total free day today in biology so we got a ton of work done during class. I'm not nearly as stressed at all because of the free web.

Jackie is also doing tons of work, plus we work really well together. If we weren't allowed to have partners I really wouldn't be able to get this done. We also found tons of videos, pictures, and recent articles on our bacteria, or just biology in general.... so it’s all-good :)

I don't really have much to say because I'm not as stressed (I write more when I'm stressed ha-ha) I guess that’s a good thing though.

December 7, 2007

ITS FINALLY THE WEEKEND. This was possibly the longest school week of my life, possibly because of this project ha-ha. It’s not stressing me out really or anything it’s just that when I’m like AHH NO HW I'm always like wait...no.bio. Plus we have to work on it a ton during the weekends, which is annoying because we never can really take a break.

I didn't really do much on the website today. Just kind of looked for a few websites. Haven't really found anything; its really annoying. Its getting harder and harder to find information on our bacteria that isn't on streptomyces, the antibiotic it makes. I guess we can find alot of articles about it though so I guess its all good. Over and out.

December 8, 2007

I think I only have to write one paragraph today (PARTYYY). Umm...still didn't find much. Just looked on goggle for websites, but came up with the same stuff. It’s annoying we have to do this on Saturdays.... really annoying (sorry ms. tucker ha-ha). Still harder to find information on our bacteria not the antibiotic...blehhhh. It’s really hard to find information on the reproduction of it, so that might be a problem in the end. Okay...enough of this...

December 9, 2007

Okay this project is really getting on my nerves now. I don't really know how Jackie and I can make it cool or "go the extra mile" or whatever it is, so kind of concerned. Plus all these websites that I'm going to read these articles about streptomyces want me to subscribe (durr I’m not going to) and so I can't get all the information I need. Ha-ha I'm listening to Ms. Tucker on the radio...PARTYYYYY. Ha-ha sorry not necessary....

I'm just going to try to find the rest of the information and do those stupid analysis sheets today. Maybe I’ll start the general information paragraph that is going to go on the homepage. I found a couple cool pictures.... ha-ha of our antibiotic though...oh well I’ll get over it. Still not uber stressed but I really don't want to be spending my weekends doing this...ha-ha complaining allot...sorry not going to lie. Just isn't my ideal weekend :)

Off to do more work.... joy

December 10, 2007

Not really too much to say that I haven't already said...this project isn't really what I would like to be doing right now. Thankfully most of my teachers didn't assign too much so I wasn't loaded. I'm SOO tired from soccer--today was miserably cold and wet, we did a ton of work. I really need sleep. Plus, I can't find a ton of information that is vital for this project...can you say stressful.... ha-ha. Ha-ha I know I’ve said this like a billion times but THANK THE LORD FOR JACKIEE. Ha-ha she is so helpful on this project I just hope I’m holding up my half of the project. I know some people got stuck with people who don't work and expect their partners to do all the work (not really sure if I should be sorry for them because they picked each other ha-ha...oh well never mind)

Today I did around one hours worth of research---FOUND NOTHING I WILL HAVE YOU KNOWWWWW---Then I just compiled all of my notes and started to create the information that you will be able to find on our homepage (general information/summary of our bacteria) I hope that format is okay...probably isn't...ha-ha sorry I always feel like I'm doing something wrong when it comes to these projects. Since the teachers weren't uber specific on the layout and they gave us free reign kind of I don't really know what they want and so yeah...not cool.... one week left YESSSSSSSSSS ha-ha can't wait for this stupid thing to be over (sorry didn't mean to say stupid...just really want Christmas break and relatives to come) Ha-ha not going to lie though I really enjoy writing in these journals...kind of sad but true ha-ha.... I just hope no one really read them because that would be a tad odd...plus they would think I’m weird...ha-ha oh well

LATAAA

December 11, 2007

Did work ALL during class. Mainly website analysis things...fun stuff I know...Other than that I had absolutely no time to work on it...yeah...not cool. I had to get two shots today and so I was really tired during soccer and am SO TIRED now. Ha-ha I need sleep. Sorry...complaining a ton...kind of complain a ton when I’m tired...if you haven't noticed ha-ha.

Still, I'm not worried, I know Jackie and I will get tons of work done this weekend, so it’s all-good. I really don't think its fair to be doing a lab on top of this project and our other homework. I know the teachers have to get all this info in our minds before break, but honestly, we'll just forget it anyways so might as well wait a while ha-ha (in my opinion...that doesn't really count for much ha-ha) Sorry...I'm usually not like this...ha-ha too negative...Umm...Jackie and I don't have TONS left to do. We have all of our research together and I compiled most of the information yesterday, so mainly we just have to make it cool.... YESSSS

Okay...sleep time....

December 12, 2007

Okay...well...umm didn't get TONS done today...still more research w/o any new information...fun stuff... Jackie and I made a word search today! It’s so cool. Ha-ha so we are kind of inching towards above and beyond or whatever it was but we still have allot to go to get there.... ugg...I'm not nearly as stressed as I was yesterday :) yeah

I had no soccer today (because of weather) and so had extra time to work :)

Umm...not really much to say...all kind of been said...ha-ha sorry! All I have to say is that Jackie and I work really well together and this project is doing really well :)

December 13, 2007

Ah...had a lab to do today so I didn't get much done. I also had a soccer game but the reffs never showed up so I wasted two hours when I could've been working...ha-ha great I know...We are feeling pretty optimistic about the project now...we just have to figure out how to do a few things but we are working ALL Sunday so its all good :)

I still have to do some last minute research and stuff but I know we'll find everything we need. Some people have uploaded songs and videos and gotten interviews with professionals so I’m kind of worried ha-ha...but oh well I know it'll turn out okay. I just hope they don’t' grade in comparison to other people's websites...that could be bad or ah I don't no I'm kind of stressing myself out now...

Ha-ha well not much else to say...bye :)

December 14, 2007

Only a few days left! Ah...crunch time. Even though I know we can finish, and our website will be awesome, I'm still really stressed out. We've been doing our labs the past few days and so I haven't had tons of time to work on the website so I'm kind of stressing out abou that. I really like this project so much more than taking a test or something, but it seems to be stressing me out even more.

I know I have said this SOO many times but I'm really grateful that Jackie is my parter. I'm not sure if I would have worked as well with someone else. She is coming over to my house on Sunday and we are going to plow through the rest of our website that needs to be completed. Not really much left to say...ha ha sorry..

December 15, 2007

Only one paragraph today...YAY :). Haven't done much today. I really don't want to be working on this during the weekend but it has to be done seeing as this is a HUGE grade. Nothing new to talk about...I just know that our website is going to be UBERR awesome haha. I just hope it is as cool as everyone else's. We still have to find recent news, but I don't think we will find much...most of the articles we have found are from the 60's or something...blehh...

December 16, 2007

AHH! Okay not much time left. Its 4:13 and Jackie and I have been working ALL day. I'm still not sure if it is what I wanted it to be but I really like it :) I hope Ms. Tucker/Ms. Jansen like it because we've put a ton of time and work into it. I know some people have videos and stuff like that but we have pictures, a letter from Jackie's dad (who is a doctor), and a few games so I hope we will be okay.

I'm stressing out right now because I still feel like we are missing something really important but its all good..Haha okay i really have to stop writing now and go complete this project. Three more days left of school(YESSSSSSSSSSSS). I'm so excited :)

Merry Christmas :) (in nine days)
