Blogging Ideas

I would like to update my blog.  After these past few weeks I have noticed the variations of font, backgrounds, and colors that many of my fellow classmates have chosen for their personal.  Also, I have noticed that the template that I chose is very popular with some of my other classmates.  I think it would be a great idea, and a learning experience on how to change change my template, the font size and type, and color.

Last week, I visited one of classmates blog.  I noticed that Kayla had chosen a beautiful template, and the font stuck out to me. It was different.  A vast majority of the blogs that I have came across uses either Times New Roman, or Arial.  I am also guilty of this. Kayla took time out to make sure her blog represented her, and I love it! Click on Kayla's name to be connected to her blog.

Lore (Lauren) also has a very nice blog.  This is her second course taking with Laura, but you can also tell that Lore is an avid blogger.  Her blog and storybook amazed me the first time that I saw them.  I looked at her blog from last semester and I was still in awe. Lore knows what she's doing and she does an excellent job! Click on Lore's name to be connected to her blog.

Lastly, Jessica's blog is cool.  I love the template that she chose and the font style.  They correlate very well with the  class.  Her blog posts are easy to read and easy on the eyes.  It is easy to navigate to things that are listed; such as her likes, tweets and comment wall. Click on Jessica's  name to be connected to her blog.

I am going to change my blog template and put a little more work and effort into it, making it more presentable.  I want something that is vibrant, and eye-catching.  I would like to change the font style and size as well. I think it's time, and after noticing I share the same template as many of my other classmates...it's time for an update.

Time Scheduling and Contraints

Now that I am encountering the second half of this semester, I have found myself in the position that I said I would not be in.  I am a procrastinator! Yes I admit it wholly.  I will wait until the last minute to do all of my assignments, and feel the pressure of the walls caving in on me as I squirm to turn in assignments right before they are due. 

A few years ago, I was not the procrastinator that I am today.  I would do my assignments as soon as a teacher/professor gave me a schedule of assignments that were due.  I was one of those students who would complete assignments two to three months ahead of time.  I had so much time on my hands that I planned my outfits weekly and wrote down what I had worn.  Now that I think about it, I may still have my outfit journal somewhere in a box in my garage…

Any who, with this semester coming to an end, the only thing that I believe I can do is survive.  With Spring Break approaching, this will be a great time for me to reflect and come up with a plan.  I thought I had a handle on this semester with posting my daily assignments in my planner and updating my to-do list for work, but truth be told,

Things Happen

Unexpected Things

Life

Life Happens

As much as I plan, I know that unexpected things will occur in my day to day schedule; but so far what can be derived from my scheduling experiences thus far this semester is that I need to set time aside for myself to think. This has been my schedule for the past month and a half.

Sunday	Epics in India		Capstone
Monday	Epics in India	Hebrew
Tuesday	Epics in India
Wednesday		Hebrew
Thursday	Epics in India	Hebrew
Friday		Hebrew	Capstone
Saturday	Epics in India		Capstone

I generally start my assignments late at night, and end my day in the wee hours of the next morning.  I know if I start my assignments early, I will be able to accomplish more.   Therefore, I will attempt to change my current schedule to what it was previously.
