Blog Post #4

In college I have encountered all kinds of pressures. I have had economic pressures of increased tuition which put pressure on my bank account. I have peer pressures by being encouraged to go out and party instead of doing homework or studying for the test or quiz I have tomorrow. Also parental pressures  have been a factor as well but the pressure from my parents is good for me because they give me an incentive to do well. Along with school I work part time so this leaves less time to study on the days I work long hours. I deal with these kinds of pressures by planning ahead and time management.

The class that was very difficult for me was CALCULUS! All I wanted out of the class was a C so I could at least just pass. I actually enjoyed my teacher but calculus was just one of those classes that I just couldn't grasp. I could not relate the class to anything in "real life" so I didn't understand when I would ever use this knowledge again. Which in turn I didnt pay much attention and could not understand the concepts. I did end up getting a C and passing the class.

I believe that keeping a notebook is a personal thing, but now a days these notebooks have turned into Internet blogs that are not very personal. Blogs/notebooks can be about keeping in touch, both with yourself and others. It can be about keeping in touch with others by posting a blog and asking for comments or concerns, but can be personal if keeping a notebook or blog is how you express yourself. I do not keep a notebook and this is my very first true blog page. I do have the social network sites, facebook and twitter which could be considered a blog because you post statuses and information about yourself on a  web page. These personal blogs and social networks have drastically changed the world today. For example this online class could not have existed in the 1960's. Also has increased the speed that news travels and communication between people.
