Week 8 Progress

Thus far

I like how consistent I have been. I was very skeptical of blogs and my ability to get into it at first. I dreaded any work I had to do. (Disclaimer: I was also very sick the first two weeks, so I could have also just been grumpy. I am unsure.) I have not missed any assignment other than one, but that was on purpose. I have recently started working 20 hours a week and I had a midterm and a paper. So I chose to skip two blog posts and make up for it in extra credit. Having 20 hours a week taken out of my time has been quite a transition, but I am proud that it has not affected me too much. 

I am proud of my weekly routine I have developed. It is not the original one I planned though. I planned to knock everything out in two days during times that no longer work for me. I also cannot sit down and work on things for hours well so I have no idea what I was thinking. Doing a little each day instead has been a much better decision and it is much better way for me to actually learnt he material and absorb the stories. 

I want to try to avoid having to skip blog posts again. It was my second week working, so I hope I will be more adjusted in the future. I also hope I will hope I will have my schedule ahead of time, this time, not two days before, so I can plan ahead if I ever have as busy of a week.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

Website and Blog layout

I am very happy with my website. I like the lay out and the pastel colors. I have never been to Greece, but it reminds me of less sing song Mama Mia. I feel very comfortable with the visual appeal with it and the layout it not too overwhelming. I also like how the website is set up where I can add so many pictures. 

My blog lay out is fun. I am not as please with it, but I don't know how I can change it. Every time I change it, I hate the changes. I might continue to mess around with it, but I am overall happy with the message it communicates. I might add more pictures to my posts to separate text blocks. The pictures also make it so much prettier.

My favorite picture because words do have POWER

My reading notes were not helping at first but as the semester has progressed I can see how I made changes. I am proud at how I saw my behavior needed to change to help my studies. I hope I will see them affect my notes outside this class one day. I take all my notes one paper currently because of very strict anti-computer rules in the majority of my classes, so they haven't yet.
