Month: January 2014

My cousin and my aunt came to United states for the first time two weeks ago. In China, their winter break is slightly longer than ours- theirs is about a month – but their summer break is a whole lot shorter, only about 2 months. When we got the call that my dad missed the plane, my mom was pretty distressed, mainly thinking about how to make through LA’s security and find the right gate at the right time. We were really surprised they got through all the securities no problem without knowing any English. My dad got on another plane a day later, and still made it.

In United States, the air is a lot cleaner than the air in China with all that pollution. We went hiking, the Alamo, shopping(for some reason), and other boring stuff that is…well, boring. For them, there isn’t really much to do in US due to fact that they can’t speak english.

Unfortunately, she’s leaving tomorrow, and I hope she enjoyed the stay(I hope that the snow days are not gonna ruin her trip) and is welcome anytime.

My second period is Graphics and web design and this is my first and only semester. We do all kinds of things like using programs like Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, and more. Out of all, I enjoy coding the most, even though it may be very simple and sometimes frustrating because the computer is glitchy. We all go on this website called www.codecademy.com.
However, coding does take a long time and a space in some codes will probably mess up lots of things. In code, there is a lot of fun things to do that probably can’t be done in the “visual” tab. So far, I don’t know how to make games or anything. I can only make paragraphs, add pictures, and other extremely basic stuff.
However, I did find something really cool.
If you go into any website, and click view source, you can see all it’s codes. It’s probably not huge news, but you can actually copy and paste it. For example, you can go to your own blog, right click, click view source, copy all of it, and then paste it into the text tab of a post. You will see two posts overlapping and I think that’s kind of cool.
