weekly blog post

Not enough sleep...

That is the problem with a lot of people. They dont get enough sleep. And I will be the first one to admit that I am a major offender when it comes to this. I never ever get enough sleep. And some days it really messes up my day. I will not go to bed early enough and then i will either be late to work or late to school. Why do we as a nation try so hard to go without sleep?

It always made me wonder why as a nation we dont sleep enough is it that we feel like we are wasting our lives away. Since there is the saying that says " ill sleep when im dead". But wouldnt it be more correct if it was "youll be dead if you dont sleep". I personally dont sleep because I feel like there is always something else for me to do before I go to bed. And by the time I actually get to bed its so late that I dont even want to know what time it is. Sometimes I wont sleep for more than two days at a time. 

Dont get me wrong I love sleep. It is one of my favorite things to do. So why is it that we dont sleep the recommended amount like we should?

I feel that part of it is mental and we psych ourselves out and the other part of it is stress related or some form of a chemical imbalance. 

One thing I know for sure is I cant wait to get some sleep tonight.

reflecting blog post #3

Wow I cant believe that it is finally over... It turned out to be a lot more fun than I originally expected it to be. At first I was overwhelmed and that quickly turned to frustration. But as time went on I figured out more and more what I was doing. The final multimedia project was by far the most fun thing I have done for homework in quite some time. It was challenging and yet I still thoroughly enjoyed myself. I loved personalizing the web page, and creating all the different pages with so much to look at. I am really proud of the website. And I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I do. If not oh well, so long as Cynthia likes it I guess that is all that REALLY matters. Wether or not it is the greatest website of all time is debatable, although in my eyes it is definitely the most epic site on the internet ( at least the most epic made by me ). I had so much fun this semester.

This project certainly had its ups and downs. For example getting started was a down, but once I got the ball rolling it wasn't so bad. Some of the ups were making the actual ad. I had so much fun making that ad. I really like the concept a lot. One major downer was I also had a Diet coke ad that was a multi cultural ad, but I could not get that from the DVD I put it on, to the web site or to my computer for that matter. So that was a lost cause, unfortunately. Overall I learned a lot about the web through this class. And I had a lot of fun doing it. I would definitely recommend this project to other students because it gives you something to strive for and something to be proud of. And i feel you learn a lot more from something like this than I long multiple choice exam that you study for and forget it all after the test is over. This is something that you can show off for years to come. I cant even begin to express how much fun, and what a great learning experience this was.

check out my final project if you missed my presentation...

Here is to one hell of a semester...
