Checking the Syllabus

REFLECTION!

This assignment was difficult to remembe to do often. I did all the data the day of because I didn't want to forget anything. I feel that it is clear how important the internet is for doing research to help gain more knowledge or fill in the gaps when I need to study for tests. Blackboard was only used for syllabus checking, which is a waste, and obviously moodle is much better. Direct communication was pretty limited actually, because I rarely study with other people but I do ask certain teachers questions often (especially my philosophy teacher). I got no outside tutoring- because where do you get it anyway? I spent a lot of time in the library, because it helps me focus much better than I'm in my room, because there are no other people, no myspace, and no music, and no phone, and no instant messaging. In other words, certain technology certainly messes with studying, but the internet alone is a great asset.

Reflection on the Course

My reflection is that the projects in the course were really helpful. The presentations definetly made me feel more comfortable giving presentations both in making the power point and in public speaking. I loved our xCited idea, and I was happy because I thought, hey we could do that in the real world. I thought that I learned a lot about people's connection via technology, and I think this will really help with the project working for my mom (btw her business is Fine Living Designs, and she arranges silk flowers with her friend).

Thinking about doing advertising as a major

Political Science 101 (3)
Information and Communication Technology (3) (DEF take this)
Chem 100, Lab (4) (DEF take this)

and then i could take also

Com 200

Journalism 220

Economics 101

Psych Major is this:

201 (1) intro to the psych major (DEF take this)

211 learning (3) 230 Developmental Psych

260 Physiological Psychology (3) (Most interesting Psych class)

271 Data analysis in psych (1)

So I could take Chem 100 and lab (4), ICT (3) Psych 201 (1) Polisci 101 (3) Psych 260 (3)

Okay that makes 14, which is getting somewhere and I could kinda think if I wanna go psych or advertising based on that

This is upperdivision stuff for advertising
Advertising:300 310 W 460 461 500 565, 3 units from journalism 300 comm 440 and 480 and 9 upper division units in com or journalism
minor in psych or 9 upper division units

Then there's always the neuroscience major at ucsd. I have decided that I'm going to apply to transfer and see if I get in. If I do I'll probably go and study cognitive studies. That interests me way more than psychology (I am not that into right now). I still could do psych, but it seems like a lot of it is really random. Advertising seems really practical, although I didn't really like com 103 so I dunno... I am intersted in the art aspect of computer science (web page design etc.) so I would NOT major in cs cuz a lot of it is math. Thank god I'm doing that toltec thing. I really wish I could just take classes I'm into from different majors. I'd take a bucnh of art classes, more philosophy classes, classes in neuroscieence in the psych major and more history- so far the closest thing to this is the combined curriculum of cognitive science @ ucsd. If I transfer I can't do ict probably so that kinda sucks a lot... Lol long process

Oh and I guess I should say the reason why I posted this here is that its easy to refer back to.

I'm excited about a new project

My mom and her friend are going to be hiring me as their website designer for their company, so that means I have to get flash. I am really excited about this because it sounds like something fun I can do to make money too, which is awesome. It made me realize that I wish I could do the marketing portion too, so I am going to definetly check out that major. I also need to get flash which is a really fun program, as well as maybe take a class on html although I think I should be fine using frontpage and tutorials I used to use. It's also really sweet that they got a domain, so I don't have to deal with popups :)
