Communication

While filling in the log I realized that I text the most compared to other ways of communicating. I am on my phone whenever I get the chance and I receive many texts because I am in a group chat with 25 other people. I rarely talk on the phone because I find that texting is much more convenient for me.

Scavenger Hunt Reflection

While doing the scavenger hunt I think that I used good key words when searching in Google instead of making it too wordy. To improve I could use other search tools instead of Google and I could also become familiar with other websites that could be helpful to me.

Computer Buying Project: Post Reflection

When doing this project I really enjoyed working with my partner and I feel that we worked well together. I also enjoyed researching to actually see which computer offers more depending on the criteria. It was difficult to find every detail necessary for the information table.

Reflection

Working with my partner has gone very well. We have both divided the work in half well. Together we have gotten a lot of work done and we have almost finished the table. It should not take us too long.

Hi! (Introduction)

Hi! My name is Jill D'Alessio. I have one older brother named Mike who is a senior. I have a mom and a dad named Lisa and Joe. I love being with my family. I also love playing competitive sports including soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. Over the weekend and all throughout the week I like to hangout with my friends. When I'm home and I am bored I always end up baking some cookies and I really enjoy it. In the summer time one of my favorite things to do is to go to the beach with either my friends or my family. My birthday is just near Christmas which might explain my love for the holiday season. I love listening to Christmas music, not just in the winter (which aggravates my family) but anytime throughout the year. It can instantly put me in a good mood.
