12 Things I learned in ACC 255

There are alot of things that I learned in this course this summer and now I am going to list 12 things specifically that I learned. 1. How to create and maintain a blog. I had to do it for another one of your classes before but I didn't really get intto it. 2. How to create and maintain a web site. 3. How to add Google AdSense adds to my blog and web site. 4. How manage my time and get everything done in 4 weeks. 5. Ask questions when you need help because it is better to ask and feel stupid than not to ask at all and get it all wrong. 6. How to edit my web site each week and add new Pillar articles. 7. How to work with HTML codes and to use view source to find the HTML code you need to copy and paste your ads into your page. 8. How to write a "How To" Pillar article 9. How to write all the recommended blog posts and pillar articles. 10. How to monetize a website by adding AdSense ads to my articles. 12. How to make an e-book and development plan. This class was very interesting and I know that in the future if I need to make a web site or blog I will be better prepared in doing everythin that I learned this summer.

This week on Drop Dead Diva

Although I am a few days late on this week’s episode I am going to catch you all up now. The show starts out with Jane and her roommate in their apartment talking about her new engagement. Then Jane has to leave to go meet a potential client about an employee from an oil rig. An accident had happened and someone died because of it and on the other hand Kim is being asked to represent the oil company. Parker has just become close with his son and no his mom got a job in Canada and he is devastated. Owen, Jane’s fiancĂ© isn’t answering his phone and has seemed to disappear. On another note, the witness in Jane’s case lied on the stand and now they have no idea what they are going to do. Parker is worried about losing his son and tried to get his mother a new job as an administrative employee in a hospital but she declines because she only want to be a nurse. Then Parker decides to take her to court so that she can’t move to Canada with their son and in return she hires a lawyer who is willing to do anything for her client. This episode is very good and is keeping on my toes and I don’t know what is going to happen. I hope that Owen ends up returning because Jane is going to be devastated if he doesn’t. Jane is digging for dirt for her case and meets a man who is an expert but can’t testify in the case because he had already talked to Kim before the trial was started. They conjured up a plan and it worked and they won their client five million dollars. Jane finds out that Owen lied to her and she has no idea why he did it. What is going to happen? I really hope they don’t get married and that she finally gets with Graycin instead.

Switched at Birth will be starting back September 3rd

I am really excited for this show to come back on because I feel like it has been forever since it was on. The show hasn’t aired since March 20, 2012 so this is probably why is seems forever because it has been almost 4 months since it has been on. It has been so long I might have to read up on some information to remember what happened during the last episode. I do remember that it was prom at Carlton and Emmett told Bay about cheating on her while they were at the away basketball game because he was drunk and didn’t know what he was doing. I don’t know what is going to happen but I really like those two together but we will have to wait and see what happens when the show comes back. During the finale Bay goes to see Angelo at the immigration jail and wants to be in her life, but what will happen with Angelo when the season starts back up. I think that what he did by just leaving in the last season was horrible and they shouldn’t forgive him because it was a bad decision. We will all just have to watch and see what is going happen though. We will see who ends up together in this season and what will happen with Bay and Emmett after the confession. Also, we will see what happens with Daphne and Wilke since he broke the news to her about moving away during the last episode. Tune in on September 3rd and you will be able to find out!

This week on Pretty Little Liars

What will happen this week on Pretty Little Liars? At the beginning of the show something happens to Garret’s mom. And when the cops and everything are figuring out what is happening the girls are outside and Aria spots someone in a black sweatshirt lurking outside. Also, Jenna is putting on a huge birthday party and everyone in town is invited to it. Since she had just gotten her sight back recently the girls are wondering why she decided to come out when a few weeks ago she told them not to tell anyone. The girls are wondering what exactly is going to be happening at this party. Garret is also being released from prison the same night of the party and something doesn’t seem right about this. Hannah doesn’t go to the party because her mom makes her go help her with sorting clothes for the help. Spencer decides to spy on Garret while going to visit his mother at the hospital and as she is leaving runs into the detective on the missing body case. The girls are snooping around and trying to figure out why she is having the party as well as trying to figure out how everything is tied together and what is going to happen tonight. At the party Aria is trying to figure out why Lucas got fired from his job and what exactly he is hiding from everyone. Aria purposely spilled on the photographer’s equipment so that she could go to her studio and get some new memory cards for her and when she comes out Lucas is waiting for her and wants to get inside. He is hiding something and Aria is trying to figure out exactly what it is. Aria takes the negatives with her and find sleeping pills in one of them and at the same time Emily is researching the drug that was in her flask and it happens to be the same exact thing. WHAT!!! Is Lucas A?

A List of Reality Shows

A short list of some great reality shows that I enjoy watching. The Voice- This show is based all of the person’s singing voice. Again there are judges who listen to the artists and turn their chairs around when they think that the artiest is good enough to be on their team and after the teams are assembled each week they perform to stay on the show. This show is all about how well the artist can sing and not their looks. The winner is given a contract at the end of the show. The Challenge- This show is assembled with all past Real World contestants and each week they compete to stay on the show. Each season is different whether they are partners with their exes, enemies, or battle of the sexes it is always interesting. Each season they go through crazy challenges in order to win money. This show is great to watch and you will never be bored. Bachelor and Bachelorette- You have heard all about this season of the show on my blog. This show has a bachelor or bachelorette who is looking for love because in the past they have not been very successful in the love department. They start with 25-30 eligible partners and get to go on adventurous dates all around the world. And in the end they hope to find the love of their life and the person that they want to spend the rest of their life with. Keeping Up With the Kardashians-This is a show that is always entertaining and hilarious. This follows the lives of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, mother Kris, stepdad Bruce, their brother Rob, and two younger sisters Kendall and Kylie. From their careers to their everyday lives we follow the Kardashians with everything that they do and they know how to keep you entertained each week. Tough Love- This is a show that is all about Tough Love and how the host Steve Ward will teach them how to be successful with love. The ladies chosen are put through a long boot camp and each week they learn something new about their relationships and dating. Each week there is someone who does the best and then a person who is in the “Hot Seat” and this season they started something new that if they are in their more than three time they will be kicked off. In the end they will be more successful in dating and might even have a long lasting relationship. A few other shows you could check out: Glass House Top Shot American Pickers Duck Dynasty Coming Home Extreme Makeover “Home Edition” There are many more out there to watch but these are my recommendations.

The Next few Weeks without TV

I am getting ready to move in at the end of the month and my roommates and I decided that we should cancel our cable and internet in order to save a little bit of money. It will be a good thing and will be able to save money but what am I going to do without it! I am going to be really bored that is for certain but I am sure that I will find something to do in my free-time. I can always rent some movies since I work at Family Video I can get them for really cheap. Right now in my free-time I have been working on this project so that is taking up a lot of time as well. Also, my old roommate has me over to her place all the time and I can always watch my shows over there or when I go there I can watch them online. I have many options for myself and I am sure I will be just fine without TV for a few weeks. Although it is making it a lot harder to write this blog because it is all about television and the shows that I am watching but I have been able to work around in and find what I need online. It is a good thing that on my of the show’s websites they have options to watch the full episode online otherwise I would be very lost right now without being able to watch my favorite shows. If you have any other ideas on what I could be doing with my free-time leave a comment and let me know!

Review Post of Army Wives

I am now going to review this week’s episode of Army Wives. In my opinion this episode wasn’t one of my most favorite episodes. This week’s episode of Army Wives was about how Claudia Joy was helping a retired vet with some troubles he has while trying to get some medication at the hospital. The computer system is showing that he is now dead, after she figures out what the problem is she is able to help him get it all straightened out. Also, Roxy and Trevor are having a friend stay with them that has been through a lot and his wife just left him. It is certain to say that this show will keep you on your toes but this episode was not as interesting as some in the past. I would rank this episode on a scale of 1-10, I would rate it probably around a 6. I think that it was a good message but it could have had some more depth in it. This show is similar to other drama shows such as Grey’s Anatomy but it isn’t quite like it because it is not all based in a hospital but this is one thing they have in common which in drama. The show coming home can be familiarized with Army Wives as well because it is a show about when the soldiers are coming home from fighting and how their families get to be surprised. This is the same concept on Army Wives because whenever the men are deployed they are always greeted together when they return from their service. This show is probably better for an older crowd as some of the episodes are a little harsh and intimate. I think that this show should also be watched by other army wives as well. This week’s episode was good but I have seen better, if you are interested and found my review to be interesting then check out this great show!
