Well everyone, it has been a nice trip getting to know everyone. It's been an experience and I will be happy to say I will miss everyone in the class. I have learned how to create a website which in my opinion is a very good tool to know how to do, and I have learned various tools to use to edit pictures and as I have mentioned websites.
Sergeys classes always fill me with enthusiasm because I have a chance to be me, and to be creative. There is no set in stone way to do something in his class as most of you have realized by now, hopefully.
I hope we all go on to bigger better things, and I hope we shine throughout life.
Love all,
Peace.

Late Night Chats
I can't believe we're almost through this class and it feels like I haven't done a thing! But I am so glad we did those websites and what not.
I have a new reading fetish, the type of books that are written in poetry form. I love those types of books, they speak to me.
Realization just hit me, the literature being written these days is not as great as it used to be. It is now all about vampires, or werewolves or some stuff like that that just isn't what literature should be. There's also aot of relationship things and death, but no real intense plot. Granted I love Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings, Twilight series (sadly) but I miss the old written word as well as the new one, I think depending on what kind of literature. Books are now aimed at the teenage population and gets their hopes up for relationships that will not happen, and love that isn't love at all. Why does this happen?
I feel it happens because books aren't selling maybe, or maybe even people are changing as we all do, and then we must change the way we write.
Facebook keeps changing, and it makes me kind of angry. Why do they do this we all ask? Well I have no clue. It changes as we can change our website, and it's pretty hard to re-learn how to work the website. I wonder how angry people have gotten and how many complaints people have sent.
Many things to think about.

Ideas
I think I might have an idea for this whole website project we have to do. I might actally create a website for my cousin's pizza shop. That would probably be the best one and he doesn't even have a website yet which would be awesome!
I have a newfound obsession with cross-word puzzles and it makes me pretty happy. I love the whole use certain clues to figure out a word, most of the time though they really make me think. But I did buy a huge book of them, and I'm hoping to get better as time goes on.

Website/Random
I'm very happy with the progress I am achieving with my website. I am finding it easier to create things, and I am not losing my temper at every moment, thank goodness. I feel that the black and white theme I have going for me is really working for me rather than against me, something I am totally new to. I still have a few things left to complete, such as my Resume, which I am adding to my page using photoshop. I kind of am doing it by hand I guess you could say. I also have to finish my 'portfolio' part of my site. This is just where I'll have previews of pieces of my work for future employers instead of having to use paper. I'm still trying to decide what pieces I might want to use, should I use my other Autobiography which I am in LOVE with, some of my poems, and short stories, maybe even my old blogs... someone help!
I sort of have a confession, I'm kind of obsessed with quotes. I'm not sure if anyone follows my facebook and if they do they get it. I love silly little lines caught in the pages of books, in speech, just the word of language (if that makes sense). I love old famous words, and by reading quotes I get a sense of that person.
Well it's late at night. Better get some sleep. I'll write more later. Hasta!

Website Planning
Right now my mind is so blank as to how I would even go about organizing my website. It makes me pretty angry because I am super horrible at planning my creative side, I would rather just go with the flow to see how it turns out. I am not worried about the outcome of my website because we all have very little experience, if any as to making websites. I love how we all are doing this together, it makes me feel not alone. I also am glad we're learning this skill, however painful it may be.
Off topic I know but I'm reading this great book about how to right memoirs, and it gives you excersises to do to make you a better writer. At the moment I don't have the book with me, and the title is on the tip of my tongue; I will have to tell everyone later. I would greatly encourage this book if you want to pursue a career in writing. I feel it with definitely help in the long run. So far I've gone through 3/4 of the book and I love it. Granted I have never been a fan of how to books or even text books but this book is different.

Website Excitement
As of now I can officially say that I am pretty excited to create my own website. I really think I am going to enjoy this assignment. I have learned so much tonight, and I am catching on quickly. I now have the urge to purchase DreamWeaver, and now want to curse Sergey for introduing me to it. I definitely cannot afford this program so I suppose I will be in the library basement often for this assignment *cue scary music*.
I also have to revise my Technological Biography, which isn't too bad. My pictures kind of don't flow, and it just looks like I rushed to stick them there, which is partly the truth. I know I must break out of my shell and I will, the comments about my bio has lit a fire in me, so now I must go where no one has gone before! Just kidding, but really I will work very hard to recreate this document to symbolize more of me. I better get to work though, times a wasting.

The Second Assignment:
So far has been kind to me. I have a brain full of ideas now there is the task of organizing briefly mentioned ideas into chronological order. I'm trying to pump myself up for that with no luck what so ever. I don't want to make this assignment dry, I'm more of a creative thinker and doer (if that's even a word). I have no luck with technology at all. I guess we could compare technology and myself to the love of a cactus and balloon, completely and utterly impossible to be together; sadly it would never work out. So now I will begin my journey through my mind *insert scream here*. Have fun everyone!
