This will be my first class where you are given a weeks worth of assignments and told to manage them on your own time which I enjoy very much because I never know what is going to pop up in the day. I just started my new job as a server and asked for 15-20 hours a week and ended up getting 35 hours for just this week and a going to school full time. So, obviously this was unplanned so I will be doing work here and there when I can. I think this class will actually help me stick with my time management and staying on schedule like it mentioned in the  business insider  article. If you don't plan you won't ever get down a solid time management schedule. This article caught my attention from the title;  Eat The Frog First Thing In The Morning . I remember my mom always trying to get me up for school and saying ill feel much better when I get out of bed. I can't believe to this day how right she was. It's much better to do your work in the morning and get your big stuff ou...

I am most excited about learning about new methods of technology. I have always wanted to learn more techniques on my computer so I'm glad this class will help me with things around the spectrum. The only thing Ive previously done before this class is use image editing. I'm most excited for the website that helps you with your writing from the comfort of your computer. I would like to improve on my writing and editing skills this semester! This is what I though of when Laura was talking about her learning different computer skills growing up

My first about impression on the work load is that it is very consistent but very interesting. I've been wanting to improve my writing skills so I'm excited for what I come up with for my story telling. I'm mostly interested in our final project because the articles I read of other people looked very intresting. Just hoping I can create something as good as them! I think for the extra credit I'm most interested in HEART assignment and the extra commenting because I would like to engage with people and get to know them! Hello All!

This was the first time for me hearing of Carol Deweck and the power of growth mindset. I have heard of similar topics but never in this context. I believe it is a topic worth talking about because it involves how people raise their children and the mindset they grow up with. I think that I fall on the level between the easy mid set and the growth mindset, but I think it depends on the subject and how interested in it I am. For example... I really enjoy this class because I get to express my own opinion and each assignment is up to your own imagination so I work hard on these assignments because its something to be proud of. However, in classes like organic chemistry where it is really challenging sometimes, i found myself really discouraged and felt like a failure because I was only rewarding the end result and not my progress throughout the course. I do feel like Carol is missing a few key points to her argument. Americas schooling is in no way perfect, and we have certain standards...

A picture of my dog Noah and I. Hi All! My name is Jennifer, and I'm from Mustang Oklahoma which is roughly 40 minutes away. I'm a junior here at OU and I'm majoring in biology and plan on attending pharmacy school. When I started college I really wanted to be a marine biologist but that was shut down really quick when I realize we are in a land-locked state (lol.) I still hope to fulfill that dream and move somewhere where I can study the processes of marine life! My number one accomplishment of last semester was making straight A's, it was the first one in a long time and it was a lot of work but definitely worth it. I now have a job so i hope i can get my time management on track so I can spend more time with school this semester because I notice college is literally flyyyyingggg by. Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time is watching TV, play with makeup or play with my dogs.  One of my top TV shows right now is "Wentworth" which is a num...

https://sites.google.com/site/ramavssita/the-trial-begins Title: The Trial Begins I have read a little on this subject in high school and see an occurring theme between arranged marriages and happiness in Indian culture. I know that India has one of the lowest divorce rates because most of their marriages are arranged and it's very hard to get a divorce if you'd like one. This story seems to be taking place in the past where a woman is torn between two men but faces death if she does not become the wife of the leader. I like how this story is just a clip out of something and jumps right into the plot... I loved reading this little short story. I also enjoyed the navigation of the page, it was simple and easy to work through. https://sites.google.com/view/ganesha-lord-of-new-beginnings/introduction Title: Shivani's Storybook I also liked this page because it's very personal to her and she talks about her culture a lot. She also left a cute diagram to explain t...
