March 12-13

Thursday: 12:55-2:30
Friday: 12:55-2:30

     Towards the end of the week, I decided to put the scraping problem aside for a day so that I don't get so frustrated that I don't want to continue. Instead, my colleague and I started planning for a fundraiser we would have on Friday night. We will be hosting another video game tournament during a fair-like event that another club at our school is throwing. So, we had to organize who would be bringing the gaming systems, where we would get the TV's, where we would be holding the tournament, prices, prizes, and who would be able to work the event. On Friday, then, I continued to search for a solution to the elusive problem of scraping the athletic schedule. My colleague finished the drop down menu that will allow students to search for a room name by the last name of the teacher that occupies it.
     This week was a little painful because of all of the times that I had to start over and all of the problems that I encountered before I realized I would have to start over. However, I knew that this was coming when I started this project. Just by looking through the code for the site that houses the athletic schedule when we were planning the app, I knew that it would not be fun to scrape. Yet, it is still aggravating to have to go through all of this trouble. I guess it is good practice for the real world, though.
