Welcome to my Blog

1. What have you learned that has most impressed you?     A lot of the tools we use in the class I have never used before. So I always find it interesting when I learn new things and how I didn’t know about them before. This class has opened my eyes up to blogs and all that you can do with them. 2. What have you learned that has made you the most nervous?      I think the thing that made me the most nervous was the blog because I didn’t know what to write about and if I was good at it. Also when we use Facebook and Twitter because I don’t use either one so I was a little nervous since I didn’t know much about them. I also thought that using Podcast was a little iffy because there is so much to go into and I don’t even listen to a podcast. 3.

But I get from his standpoint they recorded her whole pregnancy and they chose to share that with the world and they wanted to give people an update on what is happening. Even though the labor of their child they recorded it and prob...

I mentioned in my Weekly post 1 post that I was trying to do better about being on social media. I've done it before and before this time I never really thought about how hard it actually is. In a way, I often go on social media to escape what I am doing and look at my pictures where I was stress-free from school. I think being a senior I look at them often because of senioritis. So this week I wanted to compare from 2 weeks ago. In post 1 I used my phone that day for almost 3 hours... today I have been on my phone for a total of 5 hours and 36 mins. In all fairness it was because I downloaded this new app and I swear I have a problem, at least I am owning that. I do use Instagram less and a majority of my time now is spent on texting. I have picked up my phone a total of 6 times per hour which is one more time than before. I receive almost double the number of notifications than before and this time it is less Instagram and more text. Compare to 2 weeks ago where I was o...
