Last Post of Semester - How to Succeed

There are several things that you can do in Angie's class that will help you succeed. First and foremost, DO NOT fall behind, especially on proposals. Keeping up with the work and getting an early start on proposals is absolutely crucial and will help keep the work load down. The work in this class isn't very hard but trying to do all of it in one week would be extremely difficult.

Meet your group mates and learn to get along with them well. I can't tell you how helpful it was that I got along with my team mates. Our schedules were absolutely hectic, but we compromised and found one hour a week we could get together and talk about the project. Again, don't fall behind on group work.

Keep up with your blogs. You may not think Angie has the time to go through and read everybody's blog, but believe me she does it, and your grade will hurt if you stop doing these things.

Overall, this was a good class and you learn a lot about how to behave and write in the real world. You also get a lot of experience in writing proposals, and for our particular class, we got a lot of Web design experience. The class is also relatively easy as long as you keep up with, and do your work. Angie doesn't like to give bad grades, and she will help you out as much as possible.

Random

This week our blog topic was up to us. Angie told us to be creative... well I'm not actually that creative a person but what I am is random. So here are some random thoughts.

I just got done writing what could be my final lab report of my college career and that pumps me up (hope I do better than I have on my million previous reports)

I graduate in May which is just like 5 months away but it feels like I'll never get there. I have a job already so all I have to do is pass my classes which could be difficult considering I have to take 20 hours in the spring, it's going to kick my tail.

I went to the gun range yesterday to shoot my buddy's .45 and even though I was wearing earplugs, I still can't here anything out of my right ear. To be completely honest I'm a little worried about it and I'll probably go to deadfurn tomorrow to get it checked out.

So I'm sittin in the library for possibly the first time in my four years here on a Sunday night and I'm absolutely amazed at the amount of people in here. I had no idea.

I'm starving and have a lot more work to do at the house and to be quite frank the girl beside me is weirding me out a little bit so I'm going to the house. See you next week.
