Week 9-10 Reading Ideas

For weeks 9 and 10 after spring break, I plan to focus on the California and the Old Southwest unit of the untextbook. I chose this unit because it included stories from the Navajo; I have always been interested in this tribe so here is my change to learn about their myths! The first story I saw also could possibly tie right in to my storybook entitled Three Coyote Creation Stories. 

While I have been doing a lot of origin stories, the second reading I noticed that caught my attention is entitled Origin of the Sierra Nevadas and Coast Range. I have enjoyed reading about different cultures origin stories and this one will be a great addition I am sure.

Week 8 Blog Ideas

When browsing through other peoples blog I have found some ideas and changes I may like to add to my blog as well. The three people's blogs who gave me ideas were Carmen and the style/format of her sidebar and widgets on her blog. Patrick and the solid fading color he chose for his background, and Kaitlin with the nice classy look provided by her background image and font used for her blog.

I would like to possibly make my sidebar more simple and appealing, possibly change my background to something solid to keep the readers attention on the posts alone, and if possible change the font of my blog to give it a more personal feel for the readers.

Week 8: Managing Time

Time management has (finally) not been a major issue with me this semester. This is mainly due to it being my senior year and I am taking another online class along with this one. Besides my two labs and government class (I know, its late to be taking government...), I only have these two online courses. I usually try to get both reading diary and storytelling posts done before Wednesday of the week and the rest of the weekend assignments typically on Saturday or Sunday. This schedule has worked very well for me and I do not plan to make any major changes to it for the second half of the semester.
