Week Three: Thing 7

Well, this was tough at first. As you may have guessed, sitting in front of a computer when I am not at work is not my favorite thing to do. However, when I am at work, it is another story. This may seem lame, but today I was doing some lesson research and I had my library automation program on, a word document open, Firefox with about six tabs, and my email, of course, and I just loved being able to go back and forth between different windows and documents and my library program to access all of the information that I needed. I do this frequently, and really appreciate the fact that I am able to do this.

Week Three: Thing 6

I spent some time on the Trip Planner site, reading about a cross country trip. I am going to do a road trip over April vacation and hit some of the same spots, so I was intrigued by the comments. I think that I will definitely make use of this site, as I plan the trip itinerary.

Week three: Thing 5

I picked this photo because it reminds me of how much I like snow and winter time. I think that the woods are beautiful in the winter, and I enjoy spending as much time outside as possible. However, I can not see the photo, even when I preview the post, so I may have to go back and figure out why I was not able to download the photo. Meanwhile, I will publish this post.

Week 2: Thing Four

Well, I have my blog set up, and I have an avatar, of sorts. Creating my avatar was an experience. I found it tedious and boring. I kept thinking about what a waste of my time and energy getting this person dressed in the right clothes. I know she doesn't look as professional as she should, but I didn't have the patience to slog through pages of tops and bottoms for an outfit, and truthfully, I don't care that much. In real life, I can find an appropriate outfit much faster.

Week 2: 7 1/2 habits

Well, I just found out that if I choose white for my text color, I can't see what I am typing!

Ok, back to 7 1/2 habits.
Sometimes I have a hard time setting specific goals for myself. I can come up with general goals, but I find that it is too easy to lose my motivation or purpose when the goal is too general. I need to learn to set more specific goals so that I can attain them through specific actions that I set for myself.
The easiest habit for me, one that squeezes out other habits is play! I love to be doing outdoor activities: skiing,snowshoeing, biking, kayaking, gardening, walking on the beach, running, well you can start to see the problem. I would rather do any of those that be in front of the computer.
