+was able to recreate the lecture. Got very lost during lecture, when connecting to the database. Was able to go back and get that working. 
+Now need to figure out how to add new models for the tweets and users. That part is confusing as lecture we just copied and pasted, but dont really feel like we went over what exactly those classes in the model.py file are actually doing.

+- What went well (in the context of working on the assignment) today?  
+    High level concepts around what exactly a Flask app is finally clicked. Understanding what a flask app is, makes
+    it much less scary and a little more intuitive.  
+- What was particularly interesting or surprising about the topic(s) today?  
+    I thought API were interesting. Cool to see how to get data from certain websites that was different than just
+    downloading a CSV file.  
+- What was the most challenging part of the work today, and why?  
+    I still think the architecture of buildings these apps has been challenging. Specifically all the files and
+    folders that we create for these programs. It has been a huge change from working in notebooks and I think there
+    could be time dedicated to that. Its a little too late at this juncture, but that really should be discussed at the
+    beginning of the unit.

+- What went well (in the context of working on the assignment) today?  
+    was able to reproduce the lecture and get the predictive modeling to display correctly.  
+- What was particularly interesting or surprising about the topic(s) today?  
+   Just added onto the previous days. Was cool to see an element of the Data science added, not just the development side.  
+- What was the most challenging part of the work today, and why?  
+   cant get the last part of the assignment to work correctly. Cant get the logic to work where a form is used to create a new user and add those tweets to a database.

+- was good going thru the lecture again. Made it make more sense. At a highlevel it feels like there is only a few things that need to happen in order to make the app available on herko: 1) have a database serviced remotely; 2) make sure any credentials are stored on heroku; 3) ensure that gunicorn is installed and referenced in a procfile that heroku can reference.  
+- its cool not having to run it locally all the time. just being able to go to the url is pretty cool!  
+- still struggling to get the form to create a new twitter user. That isnt working for some reason. Havent heard any suggestions on what it might be.
