Almost! There was a point mutation in your stop codon, so instead of TAC toward the end of your code, you have TAA. That means the code continues on. It was pretty easy to figure out, but that is because we have brains. A protein synthesis enzyme wouldn't know any better and just keep decoding. Halle, if you noticed this problem, you shouldn't have hesitated to bring it up. Help out your classmate and make corrections.
Here is my decode for reference. Notice that after "pizza", the sentence continues on.
