Computer Generated Classes

Unless you plan on making a living for yourself from computer usage, then there is not much hope for trying take a computer specific class except to hone your skills that you currently have. I am currently working on honing my computer skills with web page designing. I am not the greatest at it, but then again, I don't do it as my profession. I'd just like to make myself useful for my company later on down the line to the point that if they need me to make a basic webpage, I can do that. As for tracking the number of hits that the webpage generates, I might need to find some help from a more informed source on how to add that in. I'd just like to make it so that someday, I have a webpage that can be used to get ads connected to it. That lets me know that I have made it to the big-time when companies are coming to ME to get their product put onto my website. Holla!

Im going to finish up my webpage now for my last day in exam week, so until that is complete, you won't be hearing from me again.

End of the Semester

The end of the semester is near...

For me, the semester is drawing to a near end much quicker than I can keep up with all that it has going on. The presentations for my classes have me presenting projects and presentations first among the peers in my class. This I felt was very stressful when I first got these assignments, however, after presenting a few I find myself more thankful that I ended up getting the first dibs at presenting. This doesn't put as much pressure on me being one of the last presenters and the added pressure of having a better presentation from having more time and more possibilities to learn from others' presentations.

This has also freed up more time later in the semester for me to work on the projects that I have due on the last days of class. It has allowed me to think more clearly and focus on the tasks at hand. Pressure in my book has always been more of a motivation technique to get me to perform better, but after this learning experience in the future I believe that I will find myself volunteering to present things in class earlier rather than later. It is stressful in the beginning but the satisfaction of knowing that you have already finished things is very rewarding.

More papers, projects and assignments to finish.


Side note. Packers lost for the first time in weeks to the Dallas Cowboys. 10-2.. we're lookin to wrap up our playoff seed. Go Pack Go!
