What I learned ..

There are many things that I have learned while taking this class. The most important thing that I will take on with me after this class is the Google Doc and Google Slides. I cant not start to explain how hard it was to do group assignments in the past. You had to do it then email it after and in order to change anything you had to tell them and they would. It was super annoying and I  hated doing them. I would rather do all the work myself then split the work up and the others would not do their part. Now doing group projects are simple, they are actual helpful now that I learned about Google Docs. Even in this course  knowing about Google Docs/ Slides has helped a lot when we have group projects or when we need help with something, it is so convenient to just click share and let them know what they could change or for a group project change it while looking at it. This was the best thing that I will take on with me for the rest of school and even after.

I Agree with...

In all three of my colleagues papers the main point was that procrastination was the worst. The first paper was a paper that I helped look over and it was a good paper. He explains that in his blog that he " kind of regret not having any of it done for the first peer response, but that motivated me to kick it into high gear.  I procrastinate a lot, even when I tell myself I shouldn't be doing that. " For me it was the same, I wish i had something to get looked over for the first peer response. I did "not really pay attention to the dead lines for the paper until Dr. Hamon said that we needed to have the entire paper done".  That is from another student, I guess that I wouldn't say that I was not paying attention to the dates, but in the past the dates given at the beginning were not the same dates that we followed. I guess I assumed that they were not, even before trying to start a little just to get ahead. And lastly the last persons post I read, connects with me as well. They said that  "work" was one of the biggest distractions. He goes on to talk about how his manager makes him work doubles. (ewh) I do not have a manager that makes me work doubles, but I do have a manger that does not believe in college. He is always wants us (the employees that are in school) to quit school and come work for him at any time that he wants. And for me that is not going to happen. I do not and WILL not being working there at a 35 year old women with hopefully kids. I have better goals I would say for myself. And get a good job with my education.  Then they go on to say that  "but the time i get home, i'd choose not to stay up". YES! I can agree, once you clock out and leave the place, especially if you are closing.  I do not want to come home to do a bunch of work, but I know that I have to do it and get it done.  It is just one of those things that you have to strive for, so that you wont be spending the rest of the life at a crappy job, that does not fit your plans. 

The life of Ovid.

While writing my Doc 3 paper this past week, I had a hard time trying to think of what I was going to write and how I was going to write it. A helpful thing was that I got to pick what I wanted to write about, and how I wanted to do it. Once I had a game plan, I finally sat down and typed the paper. It took me about 4 hours to complete. but I still haven't done my conclusion. I have a few sentences but nothing that counts as a conclusion. What helped me stay on task was the need for a good grade, but also because I had a support system. I have my school group that we all talk about the assignments and give each other ideas. My mom and fiance also helped me sit down and do the paper. I am not sure if anything hindered me from doing my paper, other than that I procrastinate everything.  I am not sure why but when I do wait to do my work I do a better job. I work better under pressure. And the whole task was to take our wiki project and put together a paper and we could use our opinion, so staying on task as the assignment was not a problem at all. The assignment was wide open to how we wanted to do it as long as we did what the few requirements were.

Ethics.

The two different blogs that I read about which president would be a better pick based on ethics happened to pick the same president that I picked. We all agreed that Ben Carson would be the best bet. The first blog made a clear and powerful point that Ben is a "neurosurgeon [and he] knows how to make calls that wouldn't exactly follow what everyone has planned out". Altogether I am not a doctor, but I have had many procedures. Going into any situation there is a plan, but a lot of the time things do not always go as planed. The second blog that I read pointed out that Carson "stands with what he believes in . . [anything that has to do with] religion". It is good to have a president that stands with what they truly believe in, and is okay with changing how the path goes to make the best decision. 

Ben Carson.

If i had to pick a president based on their ethics it sounds like an easy task but it is actually harder. As a normal citizen i would believe in Situation Ethic. Situation Ethics is when the context of an act is taken into consideration. As for the president of the US situation ethics probably would not be the best, because fairness is important.  The second type of ethics is, ethical relativism is the theory that holds that morality is relative to the norms of one's culture. With the president of the US again i would hope that his culture would be an american culture and that way it would not differ much from the people. And the lastly Ethics, just the morals that someone would have. Machiavelli says that "a leader doesn't have to possess all the virtuous qualities . . but it is absolute imperative that he seems to posses them".  I will pick Ben Carson as my presidential choice.  I read up a little on him. I found that his mother only had a third grade education. It also said that he almost killed someone, but he thought to himself how could he be a doctor if he was in jail. His beliefs to God helped him make the right decisions. His ethics were that murder is wrong and that he wanted to be better. Back to the quote, he does not have to have all the qualities but he needs to make it seem that he has all.

This poem thing.

Family is a beautiful thing to me. I have a very large family from my mom and dads side. I dont live at home any more, i moved out on my own. I have a wonderful fiance and a two loving dogs. Leo and Bella are both chiweenies. I always said that i would never have a small dog and now i have 2. I love my babies so much. I do have another dog, she is a German Shepard. Her name is Mandy, and she stays with my parents. She was my second dog as a child. Shes my baby too. So here is my poem that i attempted. 

In our house,there is love

I wake in the morning to much happiness

At sun down we love to sung,

And wake to repeat it all again.

Barrel of a 45....

I personally do not have a favorite song, i like a wide variety of music. This ranges from Luke Bryan, NWA, Shinedown, Boys like girls, All American Rejects, and so on. Well what I am getting at is, my mood, and what my fiance listens to (mostly shinedown) depends on what i listen to as well. All songs have a meaning, and i would even call it a beautiful meaning. My fiances' favorite song at the moment is from Shinedown 45. When you listen to the lyrics you expect it to be about a gun. The chorus of the song is "staring down the barrel of a 45", so i always thought it was about a gun. Then he let me listen to a speech given by one of the song writes/singers. When I sat down and listened to him explain what the song was about it made sense.  It was about his friends family member, maybe his cousin who was depressed and thought that no one loved him ect. He was having depressing thoughts and on a specific occasion the cousin was late to their house where people were waiting. d When the friend of the song writer went to find his cousin, he noticed that the door was locked and there was no noise coming from inside. Long story short, the cousin tried to commit suicide ultimately he failed. The cousin did not have the courage to do it. What makes this song beautiful is that he did not and could not fulfill the action. That he lived and that he gets to live his life. I also fins beats, even if it is a rock beat beautiful. I think it is beautiful that people have the talent to create such great music.
