Social Bookmarking

1.     What's another way you can organize and store information on your computers?

        Another way to organize and store information is by making folders to organize your various               documents under different categories. 

2.     What have you learned from researching the above topics? What do you know now about those           current events that you didn’t know before?

        I already knew quite a bit about the five topics I researched, because they are topics I've always           been interested in, so I have done at least a little bit of research about all of them before. But               specifically, I learned that there is a difference between physician assisted suicide and                         euthanasia; in essence, euthanasia is basically the same thing, except that its not backed up                   legally. I also learned that a portion of people who get prescribed the deadly medication end up           changing their minds and do not commit suicide. 

3.     What are other social bookmarking apps/websites?

         Other social bookmarking websites include Delicious, Digg Reader, Google Chrome, Citeulike,          Blurpalicious, etc.

4.     Will you continue to use social bookmarking?

         To be honest, I don't have a use for social bookmarking right now, but I do understand how it              could be useful. If I am interested in doing research, I evaluate the website or article once and              then usually never look at it again, because I want to look at other sites for new information.

My Holiday Break

     There were both good and bad parts of my break. I will start with the bad and end on a good note. I had a ton of work to do this break. I had two college applications, two scholarship applications, an organic chemistry chapter to teach myself, and a textual analysis to complete. It was horrid. I had so much work to do that I only went out three of the eleven days I had break (which really wasn't a break).

     On the bright side, I watched the entire Harry Potter series, which has been on my bucket list for quite some time now. Another amazing movie I watched was The Prestige, featuring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. I highly recommend you watch it if you haven't already.

     However, my favorite day was the day I went on a city trip with my boyfriend. We went ice skating at Bryant Park (cliche, I know), which was a complete fail. After an hour of being on the ice, I still couldn't walk by myself. Regardless, it was still a very enjoyable time with a beautiful view. 

Then, we went to go see the Rockefeller Tree and all of the other pretty lights, ornaments, and window displays NYC has to offer. The city during Christmas time is my absolute favorite; I go every year, and I am still mesmerized and in awe every time. Check out wonderful things to do in NYC during Christmas!
