    beautiful day

    By marissa | April 5, 2008

    Today was a beautiful day. It finally felt like spring was here. It’s crazy how much the weather can effect your mood. I didn’t really get much done today. Well, I guess I should say not as much as I hoped. I’ve been getting to know the mac mini. It’s crazy how much more I can do now that that the software is right here. I am currently running multiple applications and there is no interruption in service. No hesitation. I might just have to see my laptop and fully switch to mac. Tomorrow I hope to workout, do some laundry, and work on my non-profit. Here’s to another beautiful day!

    switched

    By marissa | April 2, 2008

    So I am attempting to move out of my parent’s house right now I and I was doing some research online about how to save money on cable and there was this article about using the mac mini and hooking it up to the television. So that’s what I did. And I have to say it is pretty awesome. Not only can I watch tv on the internet, I can use iLife and fun stuff like that. I still have my Toshiba laptop and will use that for all of my portable needs, but at the same time it is nice to have something here that just works a little bit better.

    here i go again

    By marissa | March 1, 2008

    I decided something today . . .

    I’m going to go back to school. I’m going to get another bachelors, but this time in Web Design. I want to combine my two loves of social studies education and technology by starting my own non-profit. I need to know how to design web materials well, not just a little bit here and a little bit there.

    This is kinda scary. I don’t really want to spend even more money, but if I’m going to be in debt, I might as well be in debt for education instead of credit card debt. I figure though, I owe it to myself to find out. I need to feed my creative self.  I figured this out because I have too many hobbies and interests that I cannot keep up with them! I scrapbook, knit, crochet, create cards, read, take photographs, play the French Horn and sort of design web pages. Do I have enough time to manage all of this? Nope. So I think it’s time to just do something about it.

    I turn in my application on Friday.
