Blog Assignment 1

About Me:
My name is Diane Boudreau and I originally moved from Louisiana when I was a little over two years old. I have lived in Spanish Fort since then and absolutely love it. I went to Mississippi State for my freshman year with the intent to go into Wildlife and Fisheries Pre-vet, but found out the tough way that I am allergic to animals. And that means all of them, if they have dander, I sneeze. From there I headed to Faulkner State to get my Associates in Elementary Education. A year and a half later I got my Associates and decided to go to USA. South was not originally my first choice of school, but after researching a little, I found that it wasn't just that school across the bay but a pretty good school, with a good great College of Education.

As I said I live in Spanish Fort, and I have a brother and a sister. Although I am allergic to animals we have a zoo at my house: two dogs, one cat, two birds, a turtle, and a rabbit. I have always loved animals so regardless of my allergies they will always be in my life. I also love to be around children, they are simply happy, kind, and most of the time untainted. I went into teaching because my two passions in life are helping animals and helping children, but since I'm miserable around animals I figured I can help children out more and with less sneezing. I like to read books anywhere, anytime. I have also been an avid swimmer since I was three and can not imagine living my whole life without having access to a pool.
This is my dog Emma, she can be kind of stupid and really silly but I love her just the same.

Dr. Paush's Video
In Dr. Paush's video I learned that although I believe I have pretty good time management skills, that there is alot I can do to manage my time better. Managing my time and doing the hardest or biggest thing first is the best way to get everything I need to get done for the day or week. Many people in America do not manage there time well, but after watching this video I believe I have taken with me enough new information about time management that I can safely and efficiently get all my work done way ahead of the due dates.
