Ready, Set, Relax...

My Summer Vacation Plans in 5 Words

• Kindle - I plan to attack the "wish list" on my Kindle whenever I get the chance. The summer is the time to catch up on and enjoy pleasurable reading choices.
• Fitness - I need to get back to running for pleasure, weight-management, and stress releif. I've put it the back burning in favor of graduate work. Now, it moves to the front as a priority. I also want to play tennis with my son and husband for exercise.
• Family - I can't wait to take day trips and spend time with my "boys" (2 sons & husband). I have a few ideas of places I'd like to visit. The pace will be relaxed without the hectic stresses of work and school.
• Nesting - I'm looking forward to tending to my house. By that, I mean lawn work & little jobs around the house that I'm always too tired to complete at the end of a work day. My list is lengthy, but reasonable.
• Appreciate - I want to savor every moment when I find myself looking at the clock when I really have NO set schedule whatsoever. My favorite time of the day is 6:00pm. If possible, whereever I am, I'll go outside and take in what's around me and appreciate that each day is a gift.

The Finale

Well, our finale is here. I'm happy with the portfolio product I produced. It's rewarding to see the accomplishments of the first two courses take shape in this evolving portfolio. The "fruits of my labor" have a new home...for now it's a break only to resume renewed and refreshed in the fall. I'm write more post wrap-up party. Until then...

The Final Stretch...

Blog Tagxedo

 

 

Here's my test run of Tagxedo; my blog in the shape of a summer starfish...wishful thinking of beach time soon to come! Tonight's class brought into focus that fact that we're learned so much already in just two classes of this graduate program. We all deserve three cheers for that! In reflecting on the first class with Darryl, I too realize how far I've come in such a short time. I'm grateful for the newly-acquired confidence I now feel in navigating Web 2.0 tools. I approach each new task as a challenge rather than an obstacle. As my knowledge of tools and their applications increase, so does my confidence in transferring that new knowledge to the classroom. Now, my final project is creating my personal portfolio to showcase all I've accomplished in this class. Cheers to us!

Tool time Prep

 ...Preparing for my tool time presentation of BeFunky. This is a fun, creative site. Check out my hungry son Sawyer. Can't wait to show it off Monday night!
