Pugs

For the next 6 days I get to go to Mount Vernon, Washington and watch 6 pugs. I get to feed them, and walk them and just play with them for almost a week. I am going to stay at my band teacher from high school's house and basically be on a vacation for a week. She has a hot tub and a big screen tv with On Demand, therefore I will get to catch up on my favorite show Dexter, and CSI:.

I am riding the train up there and the Greyhound bus back. I am not excited to ride the Greyhound back because it takes about 9 hours for a 4 hour drive. I have taken the bus before and there can be really weird smelly people that ride it. I have a layover in Seattle for 2 hours which is creepy because weird people hang out it Seattle.

I am planning to work on homework and get caught up while I am there but I am not sure I will actually do it. I am excited to just be lazy for a few days, and maybe get motivated on Saturday.

Water For Elephants

So, I am really excited because last summer I read a book called, "Water For Elephants". They are coming out with the movie in April and it has Robert Pattinson in it. I am a total nerd because I love him. It also has Reese Witherspoon in it and I really like her too.

I am hoping that this movie is not a complete fail because I am very excited.

Makes you think...

Today my best friend and I were driving through our hometown, we came across a horrible car accident almost right after it happened. The road was closed off and they were not letting traffic through, therefore everyone had to turn around in the middle of the road and find an alternative route. I did not really think about it then because I was in a hurry, but about a hour and a half later my best friend found out that a close friend of hers died in the car accident. The girl who died in the accident was a senior in high school and 17 years old.
It makes you think about life and how fast life can come and go. It made me re-think my driving habits and will make me cherish each moment a bit more. It makes it so real when it is something so close to home.

2 Blogs to Critique

I chose one blog on hotels because I want to own my own hotel/ restaurant chain someday and I chose lifehacker because it seemed to cover some useful things.

http://www.hotel-blogs.com/-

• Length- Medium, not too awfully long, not too short
• One subject per blog
• White space was used to enhance readability
• Pictures- not always used in ever blog, made blog entries look longer
• Professional, yet personal

http://lifehacker.com/-
So I did not know this blog existed:

• Length- short to a few paragraphs
• One subject per blog
• Pictures- sometimes useful, sometimes funny

Presentation Topic

I would like to do my presentation on Skype and how it will be useful in my future workplace.
