Ch 9 - Brighter Times

 Brighter Times

There will be sunshine, come tomorrow.

There will be smiles and better days, come tomorrow.

There will be music, come tomorrow.

There will be happiness and love for your fellow man, come tomorrow.

Yes, come tomorrow there will be sunshine and no reason to cry.

Oh, tonight let’s focus on tomorrow.

Oh, tonight let’s focus on bringing laughter, and song so we can forget about sorrow.  

Oh, tonight let’s focus on showing kindness so that come tomorrow.

Yes, come tomorrow there will be sunshine, for tonight we showed love for one and each other.

Like brothers and sisters, we can live for tomorrow.

Like brothers and sisters, we can have love for our neighbor.

Like brothers and sisters, we can live for tomorrow.

Yes, come tonight let’s show harmony so that there will be sunshine come tomorrow.

• Doc - Word documents from 97-2003 are in this format.
• Docx - Default document that Word saves as.
• HTML - Converts the document into a webpage.

Here's hoping this helps in understanding when to use what kind of  documents. 

CH. 7 Our Path.

As we start to develop a process there will be events that will shake up the cement. The question becomes are we firm enough to hold true to our path as to let the cement dry, or is our foundation shaky enough to be dissuaded from our goals? Can we say no to things that are fun for the sake of our goals. When things lay in front of us for better or for worse, can we say no thank you for that interferes with the path I have already started walking? I think there is a reason why we put in all those steps towards our goal, two works that our paths exist for. The first is a process and the things we do to support that process, the day in and day out of building these skills and staying on track. The second is the utility of that process in our lives. Let us not forget that we are studying in order to implement those skills that we have built. Take the time to remind yourself about the good work of using our works. What have your classes already done for you? Id like to hear it. Thanks guys and until next time peace out.

Ch. 6 - 2.1.2 Desktop vs. Mobile Devices

Whenever I think of big powerful systems for home use I tend to think about PC gamers yet I forget that most PC gamers won't even touch the full scope of everything that their computer can do. I often overlook the fact that animators and places like Pixar Studios are using there PCs in ways that I never thought of, probably pushing the capabilities of their machines to the limit.

Laptops are fun and all yet I cant help but feel like there portability and power just renders them the perfect little trooper. 

Phones are catching up to some laptops and that is a startling development, I wonder when we are just going to have a hole 3d holographic imager that operates like a PC that springs from our smart watch and runs off of fiber optics.

Ch. 4 - 1.1.6 - The binary code

Learning about the binary system and how it is made from electrical charges did overwhelm me.

 

Image 2: Converting 206 to 11001110

    This section may have been just a brief overview of it, the scope of it is what through me off. Is it necessary for us to learn Binary in order to work in this field? Let me know if you guys think.

Ch. 3 Study, study, study, study, study.

-Enough said-

Poem by Silver Ray Evens 

    The beautiful thing about free form poetry or vers libre, is that it has no defined meter, no consistent rhyme scheme, and no specified length or formal requirements. It just needs to HIT you where it counts and elicit a response. I would like to know how many of you felt something after reading this poem made up of just three words and the feelings you felt after reading this poem. Until next week my fellow classmates remember, Study, study, study, study, study.

Ch. 2 See the Forest for the Trees

We can be as busy as bees with all that is going on with our lives, outside pressures and tensions can lead us to bubbling stress and anxiety. Let us not forget to see the forest for the trees, I was reminded of this task today in class. I had this lump in my throat that was born from all the things I was tackling and the constant fear of not being able to do it, this lump was cleared today when I just took a step back and instead of spending time trying to accomplish the tasks I took the time to examine what the tasks where. Take a step back look at your tasks, and make a schedule, see the forest for the trees as to not get lost in it. I know I did, and I can physically feel some of the weight being lifted.

Ch. 1 Fuel For the Fire

    Broken, loss, shattered, discarded. Riddled with anxiety and plagued with depression. Stale water bolsters no plants. Stagnate, cold, growing old. These fears they will not do. “Live your life in suppression or do you conquer this depression?” Words, outside thoughts, feelings, motives renewed. Sparks, lights, a hunger grew. Never again will I fall to that lulling slumber. Sensations of jubilation, yet lost in thought as I stare at the face of this daunting tower. This monolithic path that lays before me, uncertainties rising trying to crush me, steep me back into dark water; like a tea that is left to grow cold if we do not seize this drink then the ending of this journey will never be known. Anxiety replaced with tension, tension replaced with eagerness and eagerness replaced with laughter. Laughter for the unknown that lies ahead. All that we can do is take a sip as we head up this monolith, with fuel for the fire.
