Thursday: Social Media

So my recent love on the social media scene has been Pintrest. If you don't know what it is, it is literally like having a virtual cork bored for pictures of anything and everything. It can get a little addicting. You can like the "pins" of others, follow other people and repin what they put on their sites. You can also have separate boards for different things. For example, if you wanted to have a clothing board, a interior design board, and anything else.

Here is a picture of one of my boards:

The set up is really sleek and simple which I love and it lets the colors in the pictures pop so much more :)

Another site that I had discovered a while ago and just went back to is 750words.com It is this great site where you can write freely. It is sort of like an online journal. It keeps track of how many days you write, if you write everyday in a row, how many words, and much more. The goal is to write at least 750 words a day. It is a open white space so it is really easy to start typing and get carried away. You can earn badges on the site too for how much writing you do, how fast, etc.

One of the best things about this site is that it takes note of the things you write about, they call it "your subconscious"-- what your mood seems to be while writing, words you write a lot, and it sort of gives you a look into the type of writing you do. Sometimes an entry will be more negative and it will tell you that. It notes how much you swear, or how positive you're being. It is incredible how much you can learn.

The layout is very minimalistic. I think it is a great way to get motivated to write, and learn about yourself in the process. I really want to try to get into this for real.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

School Trouble

ARGH

For my chemistry class this semester, I have a lab section. Since I'm online the lab is through a company who simulates labs for you and you have to choose the right things etc. Okay no problem. Well about a week before classes start I was able to finally order the access code in order to use the lab website. It was $50.00 which isn't too shocking to me since textbooks can be like $200. 

I get the code today in the mail, and I go to register it since my classes have already started and I have a lab I need to do for next week. They sent me a biology code. BIOLOGY. On my reciept it clearly says I ordered the Chemistry one, and I get a Biology code, which is the other labs that the company offers. 

I should not be having this issue this far into college...hell I should even be taking Chem 101 right now, I already took it! Damn non transferring credits.
