Yes that's right, it's not only PD Day tomorrow, but also Printer Project! Aka we don't get to relax and enjoy the long weekend... Undeserved holiday, as Mr. Arkin calls it. Maybe this is "payback"... :'(
That's OK though, because instead of doing my homework right away like a good IB student, I'm gonna procrastinate until Saturday and still enjoy my day off! So while my fellow classmates are busy going on the Best Buy and Future Shop websites, I'll be off to Grace's house, along with a few of my old friends, to talk and catch-up on life with the Giftees (and TOPS people, I should mention). Thumbs up for not using time efficiently!
Let me explain more about the Printer Project... actually, because you probably won't want to hear it all, you can just go read it if you are interested. But a basic outline is that we have to compare two or more printers, and make a recommendation to ourselves based on our findings. We should consider the basic properties, like operating costs, connectivity, how well it will serve our needs, etc. Then we must present all our findings by making a webpage! Interesting project, but I know it is going to take >6 hours...
An interesting fact here, that we actually learned last year, but I forgot up until today: did you know TDSB blocks the Staples website from all its computers, just because it has a contract with Grand & Toy? I was trying to get a head start on my printer research today in class, and tried the staples website... remembering once again that it cannot be opened. Quite pathetic, in my opinion, to go that far, but hey... maybe Grand & Toy gave an irresistible deal. Who knows?
And so with that, this shortened week draws to a close. So while you watch some TV, go chat on Facebook, or just sit back and read during your weekend, just remember me... I'll be slaving away on the computer, trying to get the assignment done. ;)
I agree.
ReplyDeleteExcept, I'm relaxing today, and working for the rest of the weekend. [With the exception of 11-4 on Saturday, of course.]
I currently have 3 art projects, 2 Geo projects, and a Science Fair [have I told you how annoyingly frustrating this is to work on? No? Well, you'll hear about it tomorrow. We can exchange annoying projects stories. >:)] to work on, so as much I'd like to "watch TV" or "chat on Facebook," [hm actually, I don't do any of those anyways. Why don't we replace that with "watching Harry Potter" and "sleeping"] I'll be training for the hunchback olympics - typing, writing, researching, drawing and painting while hunched over a desk. Or, in the case of the painting, the lack thereof.
Oh, and that Staples thing - I remember Ms. H. saying something about that last year, but I was able to access the site from the school computers. Odd. Plus, everyone knows Staples is much better than Grand and Toy.
I agree: Staples > Grand & Toy
ReplyDeleteLOL Huchback Olympics... I think I'd totally win, unfortunately. And that's a lot of projects! I'm so glad we don't have to do Science Fair... I've heard so many horrendous stories.
