Week 8: Famous Last Words

This Class:

I appreciate the break from the normal routine in this class. I enjoyed making my blog more fun for the people that visit it. So far I am doing well with points. Slowly but surely climbing up to the 410 I need for an A in the class. I think the key to that is doing the extra credit though.

Other Classes:

I had a test in my finance class on Tuesday and it was way harder than the first one but I ended up getting a decent grade so that is exciting. The rest of my classes have been hard to focus in because of the upcoming break. I have a quiz to do tonight but I am hoping that I have done enough this week to not have to worry about school next week.

In my Art Therapy class this week we talked about animal therapy and got to watch a video of therapy cats and dogs. Then, we all drew out favorite animal and turned it in. It was a little strange but I guess it was a nice change from my accounting classes.

Personal life:

FINALLY! It is Spring Break and I am so excited to go to San Fran with my best friend but I am also excited for the beginning of the week. I am going home on Friday morning and I love seeing my family. I hope I have time to go by the arboretum because the tulips are in full bloom. My cousin's wedding shower is on Saturday and I am bringing my boyfriend. I feel kind of bad for him because this is the first time for him to meet me extended family and there are a lot of them but I think he will have fun anyways. Then, I go to San Fran Wednesday.

Week 8 Review

My favorite post from the announcement this week was this post because I feel like this all the time. Ready for spring break!

Learning Challenges: Reschedule

This past week I have reviewed my scheduled for this class and others. I realized that it is unrealistic to think I will be able to spend 6 hours on Friday for this class. I have now split up the hours throughout the week.

Growth Mindset: Follow your Enthusiasm

This weeks growth mindset challenge I have decided to follow my enthusiasm. Spring Break is nest week so I have a lot of enthusiasm that I have used to get me through this week.

Future Reading

I think for week 9 and 10 I would like to revisit The Mahabharata I did not like it a lot the first time but I want to give it a second chance with a different version.The Mahabharata.
This version has a detailed reading guide which has helped me in the past so I hope to better understand and enjoy this story.

I think it will be easier for me to get into the story because I will be more familiar with the names from the beginning

I am also interested in looking at Legends of India. It seems to be focused on Arjuna which was my favorite character from The Mahabharata.

My Blog Ideas

This first blog I looked at I really liked. Good job Jessica W. on such a wonderful blog!
I thin that I might want to change my background to fit the theme of the class the way that this blog does. I think it looks fun and really flows with the goal of the blog.

The second blog I would like to imitate is Lore's.
I like the heading font and style. It fits her blog well and I would want to make my heading a little more creative.

The third blog I looked at was Jordan T.
I liked the way you can see through her text to where the background shows through as you scroll down their blog.

New Schedule/ Time

This Class:

I think that I need to change my schedule for this class because I have become busier on Friday than I originally thought I would be. I think from now on I will be dividing the hours I spend on this class between Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I know that sounds like a lot but my schedule is so different every week with work and school that I have to plan my schedule one week at a time. I have been doing well in this class so far to do every assignment each week and I plan to keep doing this until I have an A.

Other Class:

In my other classes, things are really starting to become difficult so I will have to dedicate more time over the weekends to classes……starting after spring break. 

Tech Tip: Pinterest Browsing

I have added a Pinterest Browser button to make it easier to pin anything to my board whenever I find it. I like this option because I am not confined to pins from pinterest. I can get them from any site and pin them just as easily.
