I just purchased my first eTextbook from Amazon. They have the largest selection of eBooks… I am very impressed. They have some of my textbooks for this term – but not all.
Here is what I have purchased so far:
I just whipped up a new header for the blog. When I first transitioned over to the jhicks.org domain name, my full intention was to bring jBlog down to a more professional look. Recently, I have noticed that I have been straying from this approach, so I took a few minutes to mix it a bit and bring things down a bit, utilizing a DeviantArt wallpaper, implementing the same font style as the prior header, altering the gradient in the text, reducing the size of the jBlog logo, and finally bringing everything down to a grayscale. I think it looks a whole lot better than before now and really accentuates the rest of the blog, such as the top title bar and postings area. That’d be all I’ve got to say for now…
Peace.
Get ready, kids. It’s back-to-school time! Grab your lunch pales, hot-meal money, pencils, and spirals, and let’s get to kicking some academic ass.
So we all go through the woes of post-break transition shock, but to comfort you all, let us cover the things worthy of looking forward towards.
First of all, last term is completely behind you – you’ve got another clean slate to start out on… Every action you do, think about the consequence it will have on your performance this term. You do not want to begin spring break feeling in the dumps or disappointed. Starting today, you have absolute control over your academic outcome 11 weeks from now.
Secondly, winter break is a considerably large checkpoint. Now that we have completed our little holiday, we can look forward to the growing days of sunlight, spring time, and the final two-thirds of this school year.
Third and finally, you all know that the best part of post-winter vacation is looking forward to more postings on jBlog, right?
Speaking of jBlog, I have been thinking about renaming this blog to something more unique. “jBlog” is way too generic – Google it and you’ll find all sorts of results. I need something that, when you Google it, this site will be one of the top results. I’m thinking about changing it to “Thoughtfully Mine, the Memoirs”, which is currently the blog’s description. Google that and my blog pops up to the number one spot. Any ideas?
So, kids, it’s late and I’ve still got lots on my mind – it’s still kind of unbloggable - but class is at 11am and I have had an awesome break (despite working) and was able to enjoy the coffee. But now it is off to sleep and let the new day begin.
Goodnight and good luck.
