Many Projects, Busy Life

Subject: Many Projects, Busy Life

Dear Viewers:
I would like to take out a little time out of my busy day to tell you that I am still alive. I have just been majorily busy with helping the family out, going to school, and working on getting a format together for the new page design. I have been trying to get it started so that I could get back to updating you guys but I figured it'd be better to at least make sure that all my viewers know the progress of how things have been.

So far I am doing very good in college. Classes have been keeping me busy, seems like I am always caught up and then I get behind again. But I guess that goes with the part of being a full-time college. I am doing fairly good in all my classes...political science I have been busy with trying to grasp the ideas that are being taught to me which so far I am getting better at it; humanities, the professor is hard to follow along with so I think I am just winging this class with the knowledge that I have from high school (which thankfully to my drama club is a good amount); introduction to computers, this one is an easy class that I am passing with flying colors; lastly, math is probably one of the classes I am doing surprisingly well in.

Another thing that has been keeping me away is that I have been busy getting ideas to transform this blog into a website to show potential clients and I am even trying to get ideas together to get my business site going. But so far I am having a busy time finding resources and getting my programs together to help me out with this process. It's been hard, fun, and amusing and soon I hope to be able to show you more of what I am talking about.

Changes are going to be coming soon and I can't wait. But I thank you all with your support!

Sincerely,
Mandi Davis

Under Construction...Partial Construction

So most of you know I am going to school for Digital Media and with that gives me a great option for my profession! Graphic design is something I am starting to get into because with Web design I am starting to want to learn the graphical part of it [yea I am nuts] so what better way to test out what I learn by showing some of my work on my personal website [which at the current moment is this darn blogger...which I am better at that!]. So with the recent name change I have decided to go under a total new makeover with the site.

So some parts are going to be going under construction! Which means what? Well I will probably be putting on a holt to the reviews and writings part of my blog! I have already decided to revamp them so that'll partake in the change. Plus my writings are being revamped a bit as well!! Which also means I am working on trying to get this blog eventually converted into a website!!

I will continue on with the Chaotic College Life series I got and I will be posting updates with whats going on in my life to a degree. Just figured I'd let ya'll know what was going on in my mind!

That's it for now!

As this is a big list and I would like to change the reviews that are already done, I have a lot of work. It may not be completed tonight but I will try to get most of the changes done as soon as possible. So keep an eye on the site for more information!!

Changes to the Reviews

So as I mentioned in the last post [Chaotic Ideas in Organization] that my reviews are going to be changing!! Yeppers I am adding a few things to them!!! I am going to be putting pics to the reviews!!! I am wanting to add a little more spunk to my site so more pics will be coming!!

Also the format is gonna change a little when I post them but the formats are still going to consist of the formats I posted on the review page!! I still have a huge list of post that I have to write so I may be finding a way to get you all a list coming soon!! Keep your eye posted!!

Chaotic Ideas in Organization

So I have been brainstorming many ideas for some more ways to make this an interesting blog. I am also working on a way to get these into pages as well. Sounds like on top of going to college (and yes making a little blog series out of it is going to be on of those many ideas). In case most of you haven't noticed that I not only do book reviews but I also just blog about anything in general as well!! I am slowly working on ways to get this site running better because this is a mini project that I am hoping to make a portfolio for a future class!!

Some of the many interesting ideas I have for the site are:

1. Better reviews!! I am going to be redesigning the way I am going to be reviewing books, albums, artist, sites, etc. I am even thinking about changing around what all is included in the review which means there may be some added content to most and many reviews. The rating system may even go through a small change, this though I have not completely figured out.
2. Follow Friday In the mist of the Twitter Follow Friday (yes I have a twitter and I try to partake in Twitter Follow Friday when I am able to get on the account) but I have started to work on getting new followers for my blog. I started this week and I am going to continue next week. So keep an eye every Friday for a list of my Blog & Twitter [coming soon] Follow Friday recommendations!!
3. College Blog Series As most of you know I am going back to being a full-time student at Monroe County Community College! Well since this is part of starting a new chapter in life I am going to start making a habit of making a habit of blogging about my day at college every day that I have classes (which are Monday and Wednesday's) for a whole semester. That's right I am going to blog about my Chaotic College Life series. Yeah I am a dork, so sue me! (Not really just joking, I'm a smartass if you haven't realized)
4. Song of the Day Music is a great part of my life that there are some days that I start listening to music as soon as I wake up. This has inspired me to start trying to make it a habit of making a daily posting of a song that has touched me that day! How will I pick which song will be the song of the day? It'll either be picked at random, how many times it was listened to, how its impacted my day, or just by how I have the song rated in my iTunes. Now there are countless number of songs out there but I am pretty much selecting them from the 4,000+ songs that I have in my iTunes, however; I will take suggestions!
5. Random Updates I have from time to been known to post something about my day as well and this is not gonna change. It may have a different approach but these are going to continue! I enjoy being able to share my walk in life with people that I will not change that! I am not guaranteeing that I will give juicy details and if I don't feel like going into detail I sure hope you understand that there may be a reasoning behind it.

All in all this blog is my way of showing my work of to the world. Not only in profession but in life. This is more a personal blog then just a set blog but I do incorporate everything in my life into this!
