Finding an interesting subject
This week I have been overloaded once again with tons of work. I am loving every single one of my classes but every once in a while it just gets, as I am sure you are all aware, to where I just don’t care about the material anymore and i just want to relax for a week or two. Typically I get to this point way later in the school year but I am having a particularly difficult year so far.
My credit load is the first big stressor I have going. At the moment I am taking seventeen credits and still doing some independent research on web related topics. These classes combined to give me about six hundred dollars worth of books and supplies, plus about twenty hours of homework a week on average I would say. At this point I am doing as well as I could ask for in all of the classes, but it’s just a lot to balance out all at the same time. I mean I am only one person.
At least though I do have classes that are interesting enough to keep me motivated and to keep me interested in what I am reading and working on. My independent research is particularly interesting because I designed this course almost to basically coincide with my use of blogging and my freelance job. I have been doing some theory and practice papers on seo or search engine optimization. IF you’ve never heard of it then you may be interested. I had no idea about what it was when I started looking in to it. Basically it is all about website optimization and creating a great deal of website links, or text links, that come to improve search results for the major search engines. Essentially it is all about making the searches people make every day, more efficient based on the particular words that they themselves choose.
Now I know that I am a dork and so when I hear website marketing or text links I get all tingly with excitement. There is also no doubt that if you are the same then you may want hop on in the dork boat with me because we are part of a club that I think is getting bigger and bigger. The research the I am doing will probably not every see its way in to a textbook or a journal of any kind, but anyone reading this is probably going to look up what I am talking about somewhere and you may find my words somewhere else. Or maybe your search for something.
