Post #2: A Day In My Life

-

 Most of my days are very routine, especially the days that I have to go to work. I chose to go over a day that is not so routine, my day off. My last day off was Friday, April 18, 2025. Although it was my day off, it was a very busy day. Here’s what took place over the course of my day:

1.     Hygiene: After waking up and getting out of bed at 6:30am, I brushed my teeth, did my skincare routine, shaved, took a shower, and put on my outfit of the day. This entire process took me approximately one and a half hours.

2.     Drop my daughter off at school: Once my hygiene was complete, it was then 8am and time to take my daughter to school. The drive to my daughter’s school took 20 minutes. Leaving at 8am ensures she has enough time to make it to her first class that starts at 8:30am. I wished her a good day, gave her a kiss, and was off to my next destination.

3.     Breakfast: After leaving my daughter’s school, I drove to Starbucks. The drive from the school to Starbucks took me 10 minutes. I ordered a double-smoked bacon sandwich, a warmed pumpkin loaf, and a Grande mango dragon fruit refresher with lemonade. To order and receive my items also took 10 minutes.

4.     Prenatal massage: Once I got my breakfast from Starbucks, it was then 8:40am, leaving me with 50 minutes to get to my next destination. My next destination was a massage parlor, and it took me 20 minutes to get there. I sat in my car, ate my breakfast, and checked my email. This took another 20 minutes. I then went inside the massage parlor to check in for my 9:30am appointment. The prenatal massage took one hour.

5.     Grabbing lunch: After getting a much-needed massage, I called a Chinese restaurant to place a to-go order. Once the order was placed, I left to go to the restaurant to pick up the food, which was lunch for my daughter and I. Ordering the food, the drive to the restaurant, and picking up the food took me about 40 minutes.

6.     Family lunch day: Once I left the restaurant, I made my way back to my daughter’s school to have lunch with her for Family Lunch Day. Once every quarter, parents are allowed to bring food to school and have lunch with their child. The drive back to her school took about 20 minutes, the process for checking in at the front took about 15 minutes, and my daughter’s lunch was 45 minutes long. After wrapping up lunch and sending her back to class, I was off to my next stop.

7.     Household duties: After leaving my daughter’s school, I headed home to do some laundry. The drive home took me 20 minutes. I put a load of clothes in the washer and prepped my food for dinner. The washer ran for about 35 minutes. Once the clothes were done washing, I placed them in the dryer and headed to my room.

8.     Nap time: While the clothes were drying, I decided to lay down for a nap. My nap was one hour and 45 minutes long. When I woke up, it was 2:10pm.

9.     More household duties: After my nap, I took the laundry out of the dryer, folded my clothes, and put them away. This took me 45 minutes. Once the laundry was completed, I began to cook dinner, which was homemade enchiladas. Dinner took me about one hour to make.

10.  School: Once dinner was finished, I logged into my student portal and worked on an assignment for an hour and a half.

11.  Line dancing: After working on my assignment, I put on my shoes and drove to the dance studio for my line dancing class. The drive to class was about 25 minutes, the class started at 6pm, and was one hour long.

12.  Pick up daughter: When the line dancing class was over, it was time to pick up my daughter from theater rehearsal at school. The drive from the dance studio to my daughter’s school took about 30 minutes.

13.  Wind down: My daughter and I arrived home around 8pm. We sat down for dinner with the rest of our family, talked about our days, and then headed to our rooms for showers and to get ready for bed. I was in bed by 10pm. At this time, I turned on my television and watched one of my shows for 30 minutes before I fell asleep.

My day started at 6:30am and ended at 10:30pm. I was able to get a lot done and had a very productive day off. It was nice to tackle a little bit of each of the areas of my life. I enjoyed my day.

Post #1: Programming Languages

-
  After playing around with Scratch and watching several tutorials, I decided I wanted to create a game. It was nice to see the functionality of creating the game. Each action I wanted to perform was determined by the command I chose. I even had some fun playing my own game once it was finished. While programming in Scratch, I realized that compiled language does a lot of the work for you and takes the hard part of coding away. “Coding with these languages is kind of like building a model from a kit. Most of the hard work, like molding plastic and cutting metal, is done in the factory. When you get the kit home, you just need to put the pieces together and paint the model how you like.”  (Tech+, 2025) Creating a program through the web browser also allowed me to utilize Interpreted Language. Through interpreted language, I was able to select the right inputs to produce the outputs I was looking for. When the inputs were incorrect, so were my outputs. I don’t believe I experie...

Post #5: Tech Topics

-
  The two topics that I am interested in from the Tech Topics list are IT careers and Network security. I would like to know more about the different fields in information technology and the job duties that they entail. I would also like to learn more about securing networks and the process of how this is performed. I am interested in learning more about IT Careers because I think having a better understanding of the different career types will help me solidify which role suits me best. If I know more about the different career fields within information technology, I can narrow down which fields interest me and which ones I would not be interested in. This will be important when choosing a long-term career. One question that I hope to answer by researching this topic in more detail is, which IT career will I enjoy the most, will allow me to perform at my highest capabilities, and will provide me with a decent living wage to support my family comfortably? There are more than 21 diff...

Post #4: The Blog Design Plan

  To design my Information Technology Blog Final Project, I will take a simple approach. Less is more in this case, and simplicity will help drive a wider audience to my blog. I will include the required elements of a header, main text, sidebar, and footer. This basic approach will help me to focus on the design and maximize my time to get creative. The audience for my blog will be healthcare workers in tech and those new to the technology field. My intended audience will impact my design choices as I will need to create a design tailored to beginner technology. This means making sure the elements of my design resonate with my audience and attracts them to explore all the aspects of my blog site. I will need to come up with a concept that helps me stand out from other blog sites within my niche  (Dean, 2024) . Creating a captivating “about” page will be critical in helping me connect with my audience. It is here where I will be able to tell my story and build a personal connec...
