Blogging Around

    There were many intriguing posts in the last few months by my fellow classmates, but a few really caught my eye in particular. These both posts use impressive descriptive language and open doors to new ideas and thoughts. 


    The first blog entry i chose was Faith's "Get Organized" entry. Faith, you turned a post about organizing your suitcase into something witty and entertaining. That is not easy to do, so nice job on that! I agree that it can be hard at times to motivate yourself to do organizational chores. I get the exact same feeling of stress. You did a fantastic job of describing the feelings you had when presented with this task, while preforming it and after you completed it. It's important to be organized, so you might want to figure out how to motivate yourself without waiting for the death threats first. I should probably follow my own advice and do the same. I think we'll both find it easier and less stressful to live in a clean, organized environment.


     The second blog I chose was Shawn's "iMedia" post. Shawn, you're right in that it's incredible how much fun this little boy is having while doing something most of us would never consider enjoyable. Some 3 year olds play with barbies and action figures, some play with trains, some play music, and some conduct it. Everybody, hopefully, finds their own passion at some point. This little boy may have been lucky and found it very early on in his life. If he is doing something he loves and having fun, what is the problem? Students venture on to college after high school to learn. They mostly get to choose the classes they want to take, in subjects that intrigue them. Those classes result in a degree that hopefully lands you a job you really want and enjoy. If you worked so hard to get to that point in your life and do something you supposedly love, why are people always complaining about going to work? Why don't you see more smiling and laughing adults during work hours? It doesn't have to be stressful all the time, just remember that it's not always bad to be a kid. Sometimes it's good to learn a lesson from a young, unrestricted mind. You did a nice job on picking a topic and video Shawn! I think it opens a lot of doors for new thinking, as do your questions. Very impressive.
