Future Reading

Here are some of my planned readings for the second half of the semester:

Tejas Legends- This story tells the story of Eastern Texans, Cadoan which means friend and is where Texas got its name. 


English Fairy Tales- I read many fair tales over the first semester and really enjoyed them. I tend to enjoy the fairy tales and the way they are written so I am looking forward to reading more throughout the second half of the semester. 

Dante's Inferno- Although we were not supposed to pick a story on the title alone, the title definitely caught my eye on this one. I have heard of Dante's Inferno before but do not know the whole story so I am looking forward to finding out about Dante's Inferno in detail (as this story is well known for being dense and detailed). 

Blog Ideas

Below are the three blogs that I visited and really liked. All three are very different but similar in ways. One theme I liked about all of the blogs is that they were all pretty simple, which is what I have tried to do to my blog. I think simplicity gives the reader the chance to focus strictly on your posts, whereas too many pictures, weird colors, colorful backgrounds, etc. can end up looking like too much. Everyone has their preference but I enjoy the simplicity of these blogs and mine. One thing I will look forward to doing in the second half of the semester is adding more pictures, particularly of me. I love the blogs that have pictures of the actual person, so you can have a visual of whose blog you are reading. I will also look to add some videos of various interests of mine.

Time Management

As spring break approaches and we are almost halfway through the first semester, I look back at the first semester and would change some stuff but not much. Overall, I stuck to my schedule for the most part. There were some weeks where I got a little behind or missed a reading, but overall I think I did a good job of sticking to my planned schedule. I plant to keep the same schedule in the second half of the semester. One thing that will be very crucial is sticking to the schedule and getting work done EARLY versus just on time or late. This will be important as my other classes will start heating up and getting more busy! Good luck to everyone and hope you guys have a great spring break!
