This is my reflection on the video project for the second term of Mrs. Darmody's Business & Finance Class. The good was that we got to actually take something away from the project (i.e., any compulsive shopping addiction can be managed), and when we all presented our video/skits, our whole class managed to have a laugh at others' humor usage. However, the bad side was that not only we but a lot of other kids had problems with technology (the Internet here in our high school doesn't work very well, but there's not much that can be done about it, but luckily, we'll have a new building next school year where hopefully our Internet/technology services will work better). Our theme was clothing/dresses, but the most common theme others had was shoes. What we had to do (and what we all succeeded at) was showcasing a common mistake, then explain how that error could be corrected through thinking-things-through rather than impulsively attempting to attain instant gratification. Our technology skills (hindered by the problems in our Internet services, but we still managed to succeed) involved knowing how to upload and knowing how to edit the digital film we shot. My group presented well (as we all did) and we all blended our talents and skills together to create a good video. However, with Internet being, well, the way it is, that made it somewhat of a challenge.... Hopefully next year, what with our new building, it will be better!!

The cell phone project was another important thing we in Ms. Darmody's class did this semester. Anyhow, for this project, we examined different cell phones (like TracFone, AT&T, Verizon, etc.) and their deals (i.e., $150 a month for unlimited text, $30 a month for limited text, and so forth). The four different cell phones I looked at were TracFone (I own one in real life), a phone available at Wal-Mart, Sprint, and AT&T.
The deal for the Android at Wal-Mart was that it was $45/month for the Samsung Galaxy S3, and there was no limit on Internet, talking, or text messaging.
The deal for the Sprint was unlimited (like the Android) but cost $110/month (and, as some owners will testify, the phone isn't really that awesome).
The deal for the AT&T phone was that the plans can be modified to fit your needs and budget, but within certain limits (that the website didn't exactly specify), but they'd always be limited.
The deal for the TracFone is that the TracFone is a pay-as-you-go kind of phone (you get minutes from buying cards, but those minutes are deducted from, for example, text messaging, talking on the phone, and using the Internet).
To fit my needs, I would go with the Android at Wal-Mart (but your answer could be different from mine). That's because I would like to be able to go on the Internet on my phone a lot.
