Flicker


Ok, so I'm taking a class at Utah State that is requiring me to blog here about technological type stuff. This week we studied Flicker and it's really quite more intricate than I thought! It leads you through quite easily but holy cow! It took me forever to even download pictures from my new camera, go to picnix and edit and then try to upload one here. I definately think it is something that you need to do on a consistent basis or you will forget how. I usually use my Kodak software to edit but I tried picnix and it was pretty easy. Anyway, I am going to try to upload a photo of Antelope Island. I love that picture because it reminds me of driving out there in the summer in my Jeep.

I did it! I finally finished Breaking Dawn and I have to say-albeit sounding a bit immature - THE TWILIGHT SERIES IS THE BEST SERIES I HAVE EVER READ!! I WANT MORE! I was so sad to see that final page that said "The End". She could have written 5 more bestsellers from there. What happened to Renesmee and Jacob? What romantic vampire adventures did Bella and Edward go on? I feel like we didn't get enough follow up after they got married, everything happened so fast! I'm sorry, I'm a total dork for blogging about Twilight but after reading it I just had to gush to someone about it! Since I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't' see the movie until I had finished all 4 books so as not to spoil my images of the characters, now I get to go see the movie! Yay! (And for those of you that have already seen it, I have already read they are filming the sequel, New Moon-which, if you remember was mostly about Bella with my choice- Jacob) Ok maybe Jacob is not my choice, it's Edward...no it's Jacob, no, it's Edward....J/k.
Man...what a good book. I hope when I die, it's going to be like waking up as a vampire! If you've read the book, you know what I mean:)

What's up Luv-ers?




Welcome to my blog!

My name is Christie W. and I'm from beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. I am a graduate student at Utah State University and am currently learning how to be a school library media specialist. Sounds boring? Not at all! My job is to explore all of the different worlds that exist inside books and to take new readers with me on that journey. I love reading and love the idea of providing such a powerful, life-long gift to young minds. So many people use reading to gather information, as entertainment, or even as an escape from their daily mess. Need a vacation? Reading can take you anywhere! Just look how easily reading on the Internet brought you to me:)
