Blog Post # 1

       Hi!! My name is Michelle Loupe, and I am 20 years old. My birthday is November 7, 1990. I come from a huge family that consists of my mother, father, three sisters, two brother in laws, one regular brother, and two sweet nieces. We have always been one of those close families, and when we are all together there is pretty much never a dull moment. I love it though!
       This is my first semester at USA. I just recently graduated with my associates degree from MGCCC, so I am a transfer student. I have been having a fun time here so far, USA seems like a really fun school. I am excited to continue my education here. I have always wanted to be an elementary teacher since as long as I can remember. The idea of it always just stuck with me, and I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing. I love all kids and the idea of helping them start a foundation of years of learning makes me just so eager to start teaching!
        I am a huge football fan mainly of the New Orleans Saints! I like going to the beach, fishing, spending time with my family/friends. I just recently went on a trip this past summer to Disney World, for my first time, and it was awesome! So I love traveling and exploring new things. I am always open to trying something new! :)

Randy Pausch on Time Management

       This was a useful video, I found some of his tips to be very interesting. I noted one of the things he said "good judgement comes from experience", and I could not agree with him anymore. I thought it was a good idea what he said to make a plan for myself for the day, month, semester, and even year. Also, a good thing I will use when I am doing my to do list as he said "do the ugliest thing on your list first". Sounds like a smart plan to me!
One cool thing about Randy Pausch is that on October 6, 2007 he joined the NFL team The Pittsburgh Steelers for a day of practice. The Steelers organization learned that one of Pausch childhood dreams was to play in the NFL according to his last lecture. "The Last Lecture" was a huge hit it was viewed online a million times within the first month.
