Lifelong Learning

I really enjoyed discussing lifelong learning in class this week. Not only is lifelong learning important for people in general, I think it is especially important for us as Latter-Day Saints. We have an expanded perspective of this life and the knowledge that life continues after death, so we should be even more encouraged to learn all that we can.

My favorite part of the readings we did was a quote by President Monson: “Your talents will expand as you study and learn. You will be able to better assist your families in their learning, and you will have peace of mind in knowing that you have prepared yourself for the eventualities that you may encounter in life” I think it is so important to realize that what we learn, both spiritually and secularly, carries over into all aspects of our lives. What we learn not only influences our carreers, but also our relationships with others and our influence as parents and teachers in the Gospel.

I thought it was interesting to see how RSS feeds can contribute to staying up to date and educated. By using something like googlereader, it is easy to keep up on websites and be learning every day in an organized way.

Project Proposal

For my projects, I plan to stick to the deadlines originally given in the syllabus. I had already entered them into my planner and so it just seemed easier that way.


The dates are as follows:

Project #1	February 10th
Project #2	March 17th
Project #3	April 7th

Hope everyone is having a great week!

First Post!

First of all, I thought I'd take five minutes and set this up, but I ended up spending over an hour having fun with templates and trying to figure out how to add widgets and stuff. I had to try downloading this template over and over again because the format wasn't right. But, after looking up some help online, I figured out how make it work and voila, I had a beautiful blog.

The widgets are still evading me somewhat, but I'm determined to find some cool ones and add them. I used the blogger layout tab to add some things like the search bar and my profile. As soon as I have a little more time, I'm going to find some cooler ones to make it more interesting.

For now, I'm just glad that I got my beloved template to work and that I'm making this first post!

"There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live."
