Contentment

The overwhelming feeling of doom started to creep on me after finding out what comprises our press kits as well as the effort that will need to go into them. Like most things, I tend to instantly direct my focus and attention to the inconveniences they will be to me and my life. After a good, wholesome evening of thought and reflection accompanied by a mean cycle of R.E.M. sleep, I find myself content and confident in my abilities to successfully complete this assignment. I had to interview people from different organizations in previous classes and I remember how much I enjoyed getting to meet new people, especially those who are enthusiastic and passionate about their professions. Persuasive writing is anything but monotonous and for that I'm ever so grateful. I'm trying to embrace all of the beauty on the long road of learning.

Strategic Fan Pages

So having just finished my first attempt at my proposed strategy for my Fan Page, I realized the impact that social media can have, not only on a person, but on a business. Fan pages are an easy way to utilize FREE advertising. Most of you may already be well aware of this, but for a social media baby such as myself, I am blown away. I have a yearning to learn more about social media. Namaste!

Yay for Fanpages!!

I feel like a first grader trying to learn his ABCs. I will be honest, I actually dislike Facebook more after struggling with this assignment. I'm trying my best to see the good in Facebook and I will continue to ask the universe for open-mindedness in the technological sense.

Curiosity

Reflecting back to the beginning of this semester, my attitude was extremely negative. I thought another dreadful writing class= lots of monotonous, busy work. My experience thus far is anything but dreadful. I  have become accustomed to living a life of simplicity in the technological sense. I'd rather spend time running, working out or doing yoga rather than behind the screen of a computer. I have noticed a disconnection between myself and others due to my lack of interest in technology. Amanda Clinton along with her persistent persuasiveness is starting to alter my perception on technology. I will say that a mention of Facebook or Twitter still makes me cringe, but like the changing winds of Autumn, I find myself becoming less resistant to technology and more open minded to the infinite possibilities.

Against the grain

I find myself in the grips of technological innovation and I'm resisting every urge to give into her demonic ways. I have yet to create a Facebook or Twitter account. I find going against the grain of normalcy much more appealing. I watch an hour or two of TV a week and am only on the computer via school or Internet shopping. I enjoy spending money, especially on myself. As far as class goes, I started this semester burnt out on writing and was dreading this course. I'm grateful to have an instructor that makes learning fun as well as a class full of lively characters. Class thus far has been great. I've felt overwhelmed at times and lost on a few occasions, but the knowledge and understanding that I've gained on myself and on writing out weighs all of the negative aspects. The guest speakers and the assignments with one another keep my attention focused have made learning fun.
