Rules Rules Everywhere Rules

5 Rules I wish didn't exist:

  1. Winter has to be cold in Indiana.

  2. Your Kids have to grow up.

  3. Paying sales tax.

  4. The time change thing in Indiana.

  5. You can't change the shape of a room.



5 Rules that should exist:

  1. Indiana would go back to the time zone that does not change time.

  2. People do not have to grow up totally.

  3. The ability to put a roller coaster in your back yard.

  4. Coloring outside the lines should be acceptable.

  5. Windows should be open source.

Egg in Review

The projects for the egg assignment were very creative. I found the class to be enlightening and encouraging. I look forward to the next assignment.

The Egg

The assignment is to obtain an egg and to do something with it.

I have pondered this assignment for hours thinking, what can I do with an egg that maybe hasn't already been done? And as I sit in my chair at my desk all I can think of is how fragile yet strong the shell of the egg is.

How it represents life in general, how the shell is strong and can withstand a tremendous amount of pressure, but can crack and break with the slightest amount if you are too rough with it. Does that not symbolize life in general?

Who Am I?

Hi,

I am a single mom of two very adventurous boys in their teens, who decided late in life to change her career to something that would allow me the ability to do things for my kids that I would not be able to do if things had stayed as they were. So in the fall of 2004 I embarked on a great journey through college, I have been successful to date obtaining my Associates degree in Computer Information Systems from IVY Tech to which I turned that right around to work on my Bachelors degree at IUPUI in the IU School of Informatics concentrating on Integrated Media.

It is in my studies that I have surprised myself many times over in my abilities to achieve grades that I never thought possible for myself. It is because of this I am glad that I waited to go to college allowing myself the increased maturity to make the most out of every minute I have in college. My hope is that my experiences will set an example for my boys and they will see that you can achieve what you set out for regardless of the obstacles that you have facing you and that nothing is handed to you, you must go out and get it yourself, on that note the sooner the better. Hopefully they will see that if they put their minds to it they can achieve great things while they are still young and have a full life ahead of them.
