I am taking a class at BYU-I which is designed to help me create a working website. I am excited to learn the basics in an orderly fashion. I have played around with various website builders doing hands on learning by doing. [Note this site is one such site I have played around with. I have found I really don’t like WordPress very much.] It will be nice to have a systematic approach. And even nicer is the fact that even though it is systematic there is still plenty of room for creativity and choices.
I am also taking a class about being an entrepreneur (ah I spelled it right the first try!) I like this second class class because it inspires me to be bold in my website class. Being an entrepreneur requires one to think about what they really want out of life.
Creating a bucket list is an interesting challenge which we did in that second class. I went to the my50.com site. I spent time entering all 50 goals and then found I did it wrong. It only took one goal, so when I have time I will return and add them in. But the point I am trying to get at is that I then went and looked at other people’s goals and they wrote down very detailed goals…seemingly more like things they did while on vacation, giving them 100’s of bucket list posts. Whereas I said I would like to go to Europe as a single goal one person I looked at described going to each city, each beach and each local drink and menu item. I personally don’t count those as bucket list items as I understand the term. Writing out my dreams made me stretch and think harder, because honestly I only have perhaps 10 major goals that I REALLY, REALLY want. The rest are just nice.
This relates to my website class because I need to ponder carefully what I want to spend my time doing, and if I am to take advantage of this class by creating a working website, then it should be a site that relates to something that I love.
And what I love right now is writing. ~ Kari Barr
