Future Readings: Week 9-10

I chose the British North America and Native American Marriage Tales units.

I chose the British North America unit because it deals with creation and origins of different things, which I find fascinating. I like to hear/read about what other cultures think the things around us come from. And I chose the Native American Marriage Tales unit because it sounded interesting. It's also intriguing to read about animal husband and wives.

Blog Ideas

I actually went through all the blogs listed in the Class Directory and chose the three I liked best.

Audra Edwards
I liked the colors that was on her blog and the fonts. The font for the title fit really well with the rest, and the colors also all went really well together.

Madison Malget
I liked that her labels are at the top of the page in a sort of menu bar, making it another place people can navigate to different parts of the blog.

Caitlin Schachter

The background is Hogwarts! And the title and description of the blog is said by Dumbledore! I love that since the background looks kind of like the sun is setting at Hogwarts, the colors also fit the scenery.

Time Management

I don't have a particularly heavy load this semester, but my schedule is weird so I have to plan my time to do my homework. My Tuesdays are totally free, so I set aside that day for homework. My weekends are also free, so that's another time to catch up on projects and homework too. I also have a lot of group work this semester, so it is hard to coordinate due to everyone's different schedule.

I try to not have distractions during time I set aside for homework, since I do get distracted very easily. It's a bit harder since most of the homeworks and distractions involve me being on my laptop, so not only is it time management, but also self-control (to not go on YouTube and stuff).

This doesn't really apply to me in terms of school, since I can't just say "nah" to any of my assignments and not do it, but more like going to Walmart. I always talk myself out of going, unless it's absolutely necessary.
