Adivce for Future Projects

My advice for future classes with projects is to start early. That's what my group did and we were done with the proposal about 1.5 in advance. This was a lot less stressful than it could have been and we were able to come out with a great proposal that ended up winning. To accomplish this we met once a week starting after the project was assigned and worked on it a little bit each time. Our group members were very responsible and we always did what we were assigned each week. Being able to count on your group members is huge, so do your best to be someone that others can count on.
I really enjoyed working on our project, and I think having such an awesome group made the difference!

Out of all my favorite holiday's, Christmas has got to be my favorite. I love going home to see my family and friends and celebrating this time with them. I think it is really fun to get presents for people and watch when they open it, especially if it is something you know they are going to like. This year my boyfriend and I are making each other our Christmas presents. I think this makes the gift all the more special when you know the person has put a lot of time and thought into what they are making you. However, the one person I have a really hard time buying a present for is my dad. He never really wants anything, because whatever he wants throughout the year, he buys for himself. Thus, this makes it difficult to buy him a present that he will enjoy. I know though that its the thought that counts- but really, you can only have so many pop sickle stick picture frames and packs of golf balls. This year's Christmas is going to be great though, and I can't wait to go home and enjoy it with my family!
