Blog Reflection numero dos

Let's see where to begin...going through everything that we were supposed to have completed over the past few weeks, I realized that I've learned alot. From giving our reflections on the library, to learning how to use the libary catalogs on topics we randomly chose, to reading and writing our thoughts about e-books on discussion forum 5, to write about our topics for our research project, to writing blog reflection 1 on what we thought we learned so far and if we thought we are learning things that might be useful to our continuing education in college, to learning how to navigate the library website and using different search engines, and finally doing assignment 3 which was a little pain in the rear, but manageable. Of course that doesn't mean the end to the endless torture of homework, but none the less it has to be done.

I know I sound a little harsh about assignment 3, and about the other assignments I've yet to complete but oh well, this is my blog and that's how I feel. With that said, I'm going to continue, anyways... going to the library used to be fun for me when I was younger, now, not so much as fun but a necessity for me to get a away from all of this hassle at my so called "home" so I can do my homework in peace. However I can't always do that, due to my other half and responsibility so when I can get a away and go to the library which is rare, I try to enjoy it a little. Noticing that it has changed alot since I've been a kid. Although we do have countless and on-going access to 411 on the net, the library still can be useful on checking out books. Also if you don't have access to the net at your house, the library does provide computers with the net on them, the only thing is, there is a time limit. But seriously, who needs to check out books anymore when you have e-books, and kindles and also book stores?? E-books are useful but they don't have every books in this world, and also I for one am not ashamed to say that I could still use a library because I am broke and I can't afford to buy a new book all of the time.

The internet has a great impact on my life, not only does it allow me to do research, it also let's me keep in touch on specific websites, with people I have lost contact with in high school and from family members who live in other states. Certain websites like myspace, facebook are a keeper, although it is a bit scary to post information that you know other people can get. All in all I say the internet is a big help, and it also can be entertaining since it has music and children's websites for my daughter. I love Nickelodeon and Disney!! :)
