Post #2

when searching for things on the web i learned that utilizing specific types of searches such as a boolean search may be helpful. boolean uses 'and' 'but' or 'or' to set perameters on your search. if you put quotations around your terms then it will only show you results with those terms in it. google, a popular search engine also has google images to search for pictures and google scholar for journals, articles, etc.

today i learned about widgets. widgets although i dont know how to explain them exactly are really cool. you can get them off of yahoo, and have like a clock display on your desktop or virtual post its, for example. widgets are fun and there's a widget for just about anything.

i cant wait to graduate, although that is a while away nevertheless i cant wait. dual majoring in psychology and english has been tough and getting certified to teach has been even tougher but it will be well worth it when i wear that robe on graduation day.
