La Practice Blog Day

Day at Pinole

This morning I woke up around 8:00 AM, I thought I woke up very early so I didn't get up right away. I was careless and let myself fall asleep again, Luckily I always set up two alarms when I know I have to wake up early for something important. Sure enough my second alarm rang at 8:30 AM. I snoozed it but took a look at the time and jumped out of bed and into the shower to get ready for today's important event, Learning how to write a blog properly for the Ivy League Connection (ILC). Once i got ready I hurried to wake up my mother and ask her for a ride, she woke up and got ready herself. meanwhile I took advantage of this and ate a little bit of breakfast. Once she was ready to go I grabbed my book and all that I needed and went to the car.

Don Hard at Work

Upon arrival there were people already outside the library. I read some of the book I brought and waited outside the library because it was closed. Don got here fifteen minutes early. Once we got in the library we got right to work and we learned a lot from what Don was saying. He gave us the information we needed and warned us of negative things that could happen and of mistakes students had made before us. He followed this up with example of blogs written by students before us, great blogs and blogs that needed a lot of improvements. Then we got to work ourselves, we made a practice blog and worked on it step by step. We first began with the formatting, the content could be whatever we desired it to be. Secondly we learned about pictures, and how to take them and edit them to make it better. Thirdly we went out and took pictures and had some fun and relaxed. Finally we learned how to go from saving them into our computers to uploading them to our blogs properly.
