 I feel everyone is guilty for letting deadlines build up and procrastinate everything they have to do until the last minute, I can raise my hand and admit to this. Thats why time management is so important! Sure, last year was definitely a lot easier for time managing when everything was online and we were in lockdown. But now this year having to balance college, assignments, work and our social lives I think it's really important to get into the habit of managing our time.  This year I will be managing my time personally by aiming to get all my college work done during the week so that I can go to work on the weekends without the stress of having to come home late and complete assignments. The two articles I decided to read for this blog post were How to beat procrastination by Caroline Webb and 3 Steps to Recapture Time by Joynicole Martinez I really enjoyed reading How to beat procrastination by Caroline Webb as I myself am a procrastinator and need all the help I can ge...

 Surprisingly I am not so familiar with a lot of the technology tools we will be using for this module. Of course I use some of them often like Pinterest, Mac Preview etc.. But just as I am familiar with some, I have not heard of the others before. But I am excited to see how they can help me with my assignments and further on in my career. This online environment is different to other modules, in my opinion, because i feel its more interactive with each other on an online basis than an in person basis. Instead of giving each other feedback face to face were giving it via commenting on each others blog posts and tweets. Some technical skills I would like to work on this semester is being more organised online, and designing my blog better. Tech illustration Source

Some of my first impressions for this module... Well this module is definitely a lot different to the others and i am excited about taking on a new type of learning and grading. I think it will be a nice change to the usual routine.  Some of the assignments I am most intrigued by are the Unity 3D tasks as I've never looked into that before so it will be exciting to learn something new. I also like the way that we get to interact with one another by commenting on each others blog posts and following each other on Twitter etc. Some of the extra credit tasks that I am intrigued by are the tech tasks and Wikipedia trails. I usually enjoy web based technology so Im excited to learn more about that and think that getting to choose something we enjoyed from class and further research that is a great way to learn and get extra credit!

  This is me! Hello and welcome to my introduction post, to begin my name is Mary McGee, I am 20 years old and I am from Carpenterstown, Dublin. I am a Cancer sun, Sagittarius moon, Leo rising and yes I love astrology!  I would say I have a lot of hobbies but something that I have always been super fascinated by is travel. Thanks to covid... I haven't done as much travelling as I would have liked to but some of the places I've been to and loved are Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Rome, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Lisbon, Munich, Brussels, Greece, Egypt, The US and so on... with my favourite being Florence. I find travelling is an amazing way to learn and experience different cultures and places whilst also meeting new people and having fun! I hope to get to do a lot more travelling done now as covid is coming to an end, with South East Asia being on the top of my list! Me in Paris I spent this summer living in Valencia, Spain (mostly as a ...

 Growing up I enjoyed a few games but my favourite game was always The Sims! I discovered this game at about 8 years old in 2009. I was over in my friend from schools house and she introduced me to the game. After we spent the whole day playing The Sims 2 in her house I begged my mom to buy me a copy of the game. After some hard convincing my mom agreed to buy me it and down to game stop we went. I remember being so happy when I finally got home and set up The Sims on my PC that shortly afterwards anytime I got any money or for birthday and Christmas presents all i would ask for would be expansion packs for the game. The Sims is a virtual stimulation game where you can create characters and family's then control the characters to create and enhance their lives. You are also able to build and design their houses and other amenities in the town. You can build up the characters skills throughout the game to help with career paths and education. Ultimately there is no end goal for the ...
