Week 8: Progress

I had a lot of fun with the Google site this week. It has really gotten me excited about HTML again! But it seems every time I go back and take a look at it, I have a little more tweaking or editing to work on! I have enjoyed the sites everyone else has put together also, and have tried to be encouraging on the discussion board :)

I really had a difficult time with the Interview project this week. I don't really think I understand what it is we are supposed to be asking about. The assignment is supposed to show the "depth and breadth" of our understanding, but questions are asked when you don't understand something, right? I know I really enjoyed talking with my co-worker and learning more about GIS, and I look forward to my second interview on Monday. I think I am learning things, I just hope I am portraying it with the questions I've asked.

The Corning YouTube video, "A Day Made with Glass..." that our teacher posted this week was really interesting. My son asked me how soon I thought this could become a reality, in the next 10 years maybe? Gosh, I have no clue, but it's probably sooner than we think... look at the past 10 years. I also found it interesting that over 10,500 people Liked the video but there were over 300 who Disliked it. My son posted the link on his Facebook.

I spent about 10 hours on this class this week, but have a lot to catch up on this coming week along with studying for another test in my business class, and I might be called in for Jury Duty the day I've scheduled my test! Gads. Also, on Tuesday evening during the Elluminate I commented that I was interested in going towards Game Development as a career, but by Friday, that all changed after talking with Mr. Mason at TVCC, and now I'm headed toward becoming a PAX Administrator. I'm kind of excited thinking about a solid 9 months of school in '12-'13 and living dorm life which I have never experienced. I really appreciated his encouragement that age is not a factor in this field, more whether you are teachable and can get along with other people. So, I think I may do good :)

And my last note: Yay Jeff Gordon!! Winner of NASCAR's Subway Fresh Fit 500 this afternoon (Sunday the 27th) in Phoenix after a 66 week winless streak which has been the longest in his career. Go Jeffie!!
