Response to Learning Style Results and Progress Journal

In my results I was 15% auditory, 30% tactile, and 55% Visual. I agree with this completely. I'm an art major so visual learning is very important to me. Telling me something like a phone number and expecting me to remember it just will not happen.

Progress Journal:
Today I began work on the last two sites that I am doing, Russborough and St. Catherines. I am finished with Russborough, but still need to work on finishing the synopsis of St. Catherines and find the websites I used for the pictures. Also need to finish the home page or at least get it started sometime before our group meets.

Visits from home

I do believe that some of the best times when you are in college is when your family comes up to visit you and take you out to eat. It's so awesome getting away from campus food and going somewhere you haven't been in a while. My grandparents are coming today, I think I'll make them take me to Panera Bread. Yum!
After almost 4 months in college you kind of start to miss seeing your family everyday (one thing I never thought would be possible). But here I am, missing my parents, my sister and brother, my two cats and our German Shepherd Zoe. I wouldn't trade college life to go back to high school though, not ever. It's just an odd feeling to finally realize how much seeing family everyday meant to me.
