Reflection Blog

Like the sands through the hourglass so are the projects for English 105..i don’t know if that made sense but I had a random thought about Days of Our Lives running through my head. But anyway, this reflection is late, I’m a loser and I forgot about this thing last night, points have been lost, but I gots ta keep on truckin.

So, I didn’t like this project much. Well, it was ok, but I thought that my topic for the webtext made it a tad more difficult, which is my fault—I thought it would be a fun topic, which it was, but there was not enough info out in the world to cover it like I would have liked. Although, I did reach into my thick skull and I pulled off some good material that I didn’t think I could do. Bravo to me!

The technical aspect of this project wasn’t to appealing to me as well. Well, pretty much for all the projects, but that’s another blog. Anyways, I felt that I spent more time on dreamweaver trying to figure things out that I couldn’t and it just irritated me. In the end, I still didn’t finish the layout like I wanted, so I think my layout was weak and ugly, but I got so irked at it I finally said a bad word here followed by it and just did whatever. And, when I was finishing it up I was sick…my eyes were watery and my nose was running a marathon of snot. NOT GOOD!

The windows movie maker irritated me too. It was simple to use, but I was trying to go at a pace that it wasn’t letting me go at. So, it was tiny trivial things, but nonetheless I’m hoping I never have to use that thing again.

Out of the whole project I liked doing the podcast portion. Just because I think I picked a good topic with a lot of info and that made it interesting. I learned a lot from that. Although, at first, I didn’t care for it because I was finding too much info and that overwhelmed me, but once I organized myself and took my time going through the stuff, it was smooth sailing.

I still don’t quite understand the correlation behind using Dreamweaver and such programs and projects that make this class so technical, I guess, maybe it has to do with the world revolving around us, but it really irked me with this project. I hope one day I’ll use this all in my life, but if doesn’t come too soon that’s fine by me.
