The Low Down on Low Tide

So somehow I went totally nutty and did not follow the instructions for my communications class.  This week's assignment was an introduction. I thought it was just  a post. I don't know why I thought this!


Here goes. I'll try to  answer them all. Maybe I'll get a few points. 

• Your Objectives and Goals in Life, or at least the next 5 years.
• Your objectives and goals for your blog (tell your reader what you blog will be about).
• Where you readers can get a hold of you (include an email address).

 Life. Well, geeze. 

Five years from now I want to be in school, hopefully done with my graduate degree in Business Administration from UW and  working  on my PHD. I would certainly be interested in any opportunities to study abroad through UW. 

Further out than five years-I want to contribute significantly to whatever sub field of business I end up in. Hopefully something like Business Psychology maybe the Psychology of International Business.  I also want to contribute significantly to  my family business. 

I also want about 3+ kids, my own house and some kind of positive lasting improvement on South Seattle Community College before I'm 30.  I'm from a  family of  seven ( two adults, five kids) so I'm never going to be happy with less than three kids.  I'm more than okay with adopting most of my future children, but  I may not be able to afford it so for now I'm planning on the old fashioned way.  

I don't have anyone I'm thinking of to be the father of the future kids right now. Going stag-or mare? Filly?- right now. Completing my degree(s) is the most important thing to me right now. 

Now my goals for this blog.

Well that is where the "lasting contribution to SSCC" comes in. Hopefully hints, tutorials ( thank you for the PowerPoint tip RM~!) and upcoming event info ( and information on the wonderful places I GOT the hints from!) will at least contribute a little bit. 

I plan to post something useful for transfer students every week and will likely eventually keep a running tally and fully integrated calendar of all dates and events relevant to transfer students at south! I want to help my classmates out, that is pretty much the jist. I'm looking for ways to improve it ( particularly the layout, which I'm not really feeling) so I am wide open to suggestions!

Degree Audit Tutorial For SSCC

Howdy,

When I picked a topic for my ( or, our for fellow classmates) CMST275 class I thought about  how I could make my plans, which are no doubt the same plans many other people have, into a blog.  I thought, is this enough information to make something out of it?

I didn't think very much about  writing something substantial (200-500 words min), relevant , easy to read information that has personal significance but after I started thinking about how little I was going to have to say about it, the more I  thought of to say.

The easiest way to see if you are on track in getting your degree is to use the Track my Progress: Degree Audit feature under " Student online services" on the right hand side bar on the South Seattle Community College site.

I converted my awkward picture by picture tutorial to a power point at the suggestion of my super helpful professor R. McCarthy. Thank you!

Before you start, you should have the south seattle main page open.
