ITS ALREADY NOVEMBER ?!

my oh my, where is the time going ?! I cannot believe that it is already November time seems to be going so fast ! I can honestly say that i don't mind it. I don't know if its just me but i cant seem to get into the hang of things this semester, I'm still in summer mode ! this is really bad everything is going by so fast...all i can really think about was a sign that my teacher had in his classroom that said "time will pass, will you?"

...well at least its thursday

Time flies when you have a five day weekend ! i wish we had more of these i really could use it ! but we have a break coming again in November i think i could last... :) things are moving at a pretty fast pace its already October 12th ...which also means that Halloween is coming soon ! whats everyone going to be ?! is anyone brave enough to dress up to school :D ?

Finally !

This week for me has been the most hectic ! I had a philosophy test on Tuesday, AND a Theology mid term also on Tuesday..to make things even more stressful i have an Ecology test tonight ! what a week is all i can say ! as i was studying the other night i decided to look on the school calender and i realized we have Monday and Tuesday off ! boy oh boy was pleasantly surprised ! So one more day and then a relaxing weekend, now I'm on this crazy diet and its supposed to be two weeks long i keep setting myself back every weekend i mess up !! so my goal for this weekend is not to mess up ! lets see if i can do it, i know i can :D

going after what you want ... live, laugh, and love

Do you ever just sit there and recall back on where you were a year ago ? Lately its all that I've been thinking about...and today, well today, might have changed something in me. Today i went to a friends house who has been diagnosed with brain cancer for a year. He's been so strong and he has inspired me from the first day that i found out. I don't know if i could find the words to describe how much he has touched my life, and its so sad that it takes things like this for us to stop and "smell the coffee." I know that I want to go after the things i want and stop at no cost. I want to fight for the things and people, that make me smile on a daily basis, and those who have touched my life tremendously. This time around I'm going to do what ever it takes in order to reach my goal, I've already started and i couldn't be more proud of myself. What am i trying to say with all of this? just remember to fight for the things you want, live laugh and love, and never settle for anything less than what makes you happy. 

Ralph- You are the strongest person, don't give up, we are all here for you. You are by far the bravest friend that i have ever had ! <3  Thank You for inspiring me and I'm sure that I'm not the only one whose life you have touched in such a great way ! :) <3 

I hope you all enjoyed reading this...until next time my friends :) <3

Its already Thursday ?!

Is it me or is the week flying by ! This is one of those weeks where I wish i had a little more time to work on all of my assignments, I feel like everything just felt into my lap. I'm trying to keep everything under control, and i keep telling myself one thing at a time and everything will get done one by one. I am very excited to see what everyone is going to present in class today :) wish you all luck and i def will do my best to get the Hersey's bar :D

It's thursday and i feel like i can breathe again !

For most College students Thursdays are like Fridays, for most students it is the last day of the week and the last day of classes, students can finally breathe and relax from a hectic week of classes and homework. I had a HS teacher that explained to us why Thursday is his favorite day, and after his explanation it became my favorite day even when i did not have Fridays off. He said that Thursdays are like when you take a hike and you get to the top of the mountain you then are looking down at the beautiful scenery, which in this case would be Friday,Saturday, and to some Sunday :)

hope everyone has a great weekend ! <3 is anyone going to the festival in Little Italy i am and i am also very excited !!

I think its here :D

I think its that time of the year ladies and gentlemen :) its time to put those flip flops away and start digging for those UGGs. Its been getting colder and colder, the hoodies are out and pumpkin lates are being served. I love the fall, to me the fall is like the new year..its not like the brutal cold winter, and its not scorching hot, there are no plants that can irritate our allergies. The fall is just perfect! does anyone else enjoy the fall as much as i do :D ?

What a day and its only 12:00 !

I woke up in a panic this morrning, I was running late of course (what else is new) but i was also thinking of all the things i have to get done today. I feel as if a million and one things have piled up and the list is not getting any shorter. I guess i just have to keep telling myself to keep calm and do what i needed to do. This brings me to a good point, time management! I need help in that department badly, I say this all the time, however i find that i work great under pressure, today i know i have to get things done and there is no time to slack off or anything of that sort i dont have any time to spend on anything else besides what im supposed to be doing. This works for me somehow, i hope everyone has a great weekend :)))

When it Rains...it pours !

I cant honestly say that this week was one of the worst weeks ever ! I feel like when you get bad news bad things just keep happening. I'm trying to stay very optimistic about everything that's been going on with my personal life as well as my life here at Caldwell. Not to go off on a completely different tangent, but dont you somehow feel that school is just another separate world from your life at home ? I often look forward to coming to school so that i can escape some of the things out there in the "real world" i guess you can say. But enough about me running in circles about my life, I'm just looking forward to resolving some things and telling myself that at the end of the tunnel, there is a light :)

rain,rain..go away !

Last night when it began to rain i honestly thought that we were done with this rain nonsense..i guess not ! The rain is great to stay in sleep,watch a movie, and to read, its not so great when you have to drive to school and try to stay awake in class. I just hope that it stops in time so that we don't get another flood, as i was driving by some of my neighboring towns this weekend i couldn't help but look at all the stuff that the people had to put on the side for garbage because of the damage that the flood did. I can say that it was a very sad thing for me to see, i can just imagine what the people are going through with the aftermath of the hurricane. All in all i just hope that this rain doesn't effect us in any bad way, i think that we have had enough !

...day two of ED447

I think I'm getting the hang of things, Ive gotten myself in the rhythm finally and i cant believe that the week is over ! (time fly's by when your having fun :) We were assigned two articles and i enjoyed ready both of them. I definitely enjoyed Creating your Pop up more. As i read the article i was honestly shocked to find that this application is free and that it does so much, while reading this article i thought that it was amazing how one can create these books with sounds and all different kinds of animations. In the beginning of the article i thought oh well this wont help me I'm going to teach HS, however as i kept reading i saw that you can utilize it even in the higher level. When i go home I'm going to look this up and just play around with it :)

First Day in ED447

     Today is not only the first day of ED447, but it is also the first day of my Junior year in College. It seems as if it was yesterday that I was sitting in my Freshman Seminar class. I can honestly say that I am very excited for this class, mainly because I always wanted to learn how to use a SmartBoard :D. As I look through the Syllabus I can see that we are going to be doing many things that are new to me when it comes to teaching and technology, so I can say that this class is going to keep me awake. I'm looking forward to blogging with my classmates, and getting feedback on what I'm posting from them. I think that Blogging every week will also enable my commitment skills :)
