the wednesday challenge, because Dr. Neat wanted to see where I was regarding uploading my website.

Day 29: Monday
Today in engineering, I found out that I successfully signed up for the online course and was able to begin the course. That's when I saw the video that the
veterans made. smh. Mr. Miller pulled me aside to start working on the safety course, so I wasn't able to learn about the jenga thing that Dr. Neat was doing in the next room.

write up and sorry for it being in Google, this computer does have powerpoint. Marble

Engineering was more of a programming class today, but I'm totally fine with thta. We learned from Alex how embed a video into our website. I was also able to add some stuff to the site that will
make it better aesthetically.
Day 33: Friday
Unfortunately, I have no idea what happened today, because I had to leave early from school. My ankle was in so much pain, the same pain I was when I broke my knee just a month ago. Mom said I was going to
be tested for my bone density.
The Seventh Week: September 26-30
Day 34: Monday
Today at my appointment, Dr. Owens confirmed my worries and said that it was most likely yet another stress fracture in my ankle. It's definite now that I'm going to have my bone density tested sometime soon at Children's
Hospital.
