Time Management

Time Management
 
 
Is blogging during class beneficial? Can you focus? Is there enough time for you to accomplish anything by the time you log on?

The answer for me is absolutely! Even if you start with 30 minutes of class time left like I am doing right now gives me enough time to get started. I can get at least half of my paper done during a blogging day if I am focused and am in “thinking mode”. One thing about blogging during class is that people around you can distract you or when they begin to start talking I get really frustrated and lose my train of thought.

Just to prove that blogging during class time is beneficial, I have been typing for 6 minutes and I already have a little over 130 words.

Coming up with ideas can go either way with it being helpful or not while sitting in a computer lab. It can be helpful with coming up with an idea or two by just simply looking around the rooms at your peers. If you just look you can find many ideas even in such a bland room, for instance; I guarantee at least one person is sitting there chomping on gum, listening to music, painting their nails or even doing other homework because they don’t think it is beneficial for them to being blogging with 30 minutes left of class. Just these simple things can turn into a huge blogging idea where you can expand onto and come up with a great purpose to match it. A not so good thing about being in such a bland computer lab and being surrounded by 20 other students can be distractions. If you like to blog and normally blog at home in your silent room then blogging at school and getting something accomplished may be difficult. One thing I dislike about blogging during class is that I will be in the middle of a great idea and a sentence into a paragraph and BOOM the bell rings and I have to try and remember my train of thought until I get home to pick up where I left off, but I never do remember…

I personally am not a big fan about blogging during class because it takes me awhile to get started. But something about me and I’m sure a lot of you are like this also. Once I begin typing I just keep going and going and going.

Instead of blogging during class because you know you physically can’t focus. Try blogging outdoors when you get home! That cool breeze and bird chirps make it easy and peaceful to write and you will be done before you know it. If you’re not going to blog during class still make you class time useful by reading other blogs or writing down topic ideas. (478)

Fun Day Sunday

Fun Day Sunday

            Sundays are my free, laid back and homework days. Some people are probably thinking right now of how crazy I am for saving all of my homework for Sundays but that is how it works for me. Don’t get me wrong if I have a free Saturday here and there I will start my homework and sometimes finish it which is good for me because that means instead of multi tasking while trying to watch the Packers I just get to relax.

            During this time of the year is when football begins to get super competitive and serious and I resist to ever missing the Packers play because they are my favorite team in the NFL. I love watching the Packers play and hopefully one of these days my dad will get us tickets to go see them for real! Seeing the packers play in real life would be a dream come true.

            For me doing homework while watching the game makes me feel like I am getting a lot more done in a smaller amount of time. I think this is, because I am balancing out doing something boring and having fun. This method works very well for me and it may work well for you too. The only problem with my time management method is that sometimes I go to a friends’ house to watch the game and I either go early to hang out for a while or stay a little later. In this case I would wake up early in the morning to finish my homework before I leave my house, that way I am not paranoid about getting my homework done in time when I get home. So then I can just relax, have fun and enjoy my time with my friends while it lasts.

            So my friends and I were having this debate on whether Sunday Night Football was better or Monday night Football. I said Sunday because you can hang out with friends and relax all day where Monday you either have school or work and you still need to get your homework done and need to get to bed at a decent hour. What do you prefer, Sunday Night Football or Monday Night Football? Leave a comment and let me know! (422)

Crime is Pride



Crime is Pride 
Think: all men make mistakes
But a good man yields when he
Knows his course is wrong,
And repairs the evil: The only
Crime is pride.
 
This excerpt does show assertiveness because it takes a stand. By saying; "All men make mistakes" is showing that it is taking a side. In modern day everyone knows that the woman is always right, even when they are wrong. When a man tries to argue with his women he normally stops and lets it go because that is the right thing to do. Instead of keeping the argument up he steps down and tries to cure it by starting with sorry I was wrong. Then he normally would say nice things to her so she is happy again.
 
When a man shows sympathy towards a woman it means great things. Especially when the men have the guts to admit they were wrong, even when they were clearly right! Some men may just play it off and hope that it doesn’t impede any more of their progress, but the only thing standing in their way is themselves. Some people are just too proud to show everyone else that they messed up. Their egos get a shot in the face, and the bad man thinks way too much of himself to let anything reshape his reputation (line 5).
 
Even though knowing the woman is always right is just a norm. God made us equal and free. No one should have to just do something just to fit in the norm or not get broken up with our frowned upon. It shouldn’t matter if it is the “gentleman thing” to do. For crying out loud he already holds the door for you… (342)
