ICRAVE !!!



I use to have the Apple iphone when it first became available about 3 years ago. Having the phone for 2 years I reduced my monthly budget and eliminated my iphone bill. When I bought my new touch screen it did not compare at all to my iphone and I was never satisfied with the performance. In June 2010 Apple released the new version of the iphone called the 4G. After reading that the new iphone was being released I was very excited to see what upgrades were made. Some features that I love about the new phone is the appearance is beautiful, it’s cool, the screen resolution is amazing, its faster in web browsing, the front facing camera, and the longer battery life. Unfortunately, I have also heard bad reviews about the phone as well regarding the antenna. The reviews state that the reception is bad due to the way the antenna is installed inside the phone. I believe that the iphone 4G is the best smart phone out today. After the phone is on the market for three to six months and Apple has worked through its early issues, I will definitely be getting the iphone. But until then I have to be content with the phone that I currently have.

TIME


When I decided to make the decision to go back to school I thought that it would be a piece of cake. I knew that I would have to make certain sacrifices but I never knew that it would be this difficult. Between working a fulltime job and attending school the change has been very stressful. The biggest adjustment that I have had to alter was learning how to have time management. I have to learn to prioritize my responsibilities and know that I will not be able to do everything that I want. Adjusting to a different schedule, meeting academic demands, and lack of a social life has demonstrated to be my new every day schedule. On a daily basis I have to work forty hours a week, go to school, manage responsibilities at home, complete four to eight hours of homework for each class and in some way fit sleep in there as well. Finding the time to complete all of my day to day tasks is one of the hardest goals to conquer for me. It just seems like it’s never enough time in the day for everything. However, I realize now that time management will be my greatest asset to succeed in and out of the classroom.
