Blog Assignment #2: Gadgets and Linking vs Embedding

Hello, we are now in Week 3 of CIS 265 and I have learned a lot of useful new things. First of all, the one lesson that has proved to be most useful is identifying websites that can potentially be harmful to one's computer. Also, detecting which e-mails/ files are safe to open to avoid unknowingly installing a virus on my computer. I have dealt with having a hard drive on a PC that has crashed due to virus/bugs and it is not only very expensive to fix, but very time consuming. I have also learned how a computer runs internally, how the internet works, and how to create a blog! I have really enjoyed being able to understand computers, something most of us use everyday. It is amazing how much goes on behind the scenes that allows me to do things with technology that I use everyday!

Because YouTube a worldwide website that most everyone has access to, finding and narrowing it to one favorite video is almost impossible. I have narrowed it down to two basic topics, bloopers and the TV show Friends as found in the video below. I have grown up watching Friends and have seen every single episode at least 10 times. The show is hilarious in itself and never fails to cheer me up when I am down. What a lot of people don't really know though, is that the bloopers are much more entertaining than the actual TV Show. At any moment I need time to take a breather and just find a source of laughter, Friends bloopers is my go to thing! I recommend everyone to watch it, even if you have never seen the show or aren't a big fan of it! I really enjoy watching video that take me behind the scenes of movies/TV shows and learning how they are put together. Although, finding bloopers is the biggest reward through it all.

Blog Assignment #1: Introduction

One of my favorite personal drawings.

Hello! My name is Isabel. This is my second
year at CBU and my major is Psychology and I am planning on receiving a minor in Criminal Justice. I have loved attending this school so far and look forward to continuing my education until I can graduate with my Bachelors degree. After, I would like to attend graduate school to get my doctorate in Forensic/Behavioral Psychology. My whole life I have been passionate about helping people and learning about human behavior, our gestures and everything that makes us tick. Behavioral Psychology focuses the part of Psychology that we can physically see and study. I want to research just how influential our environment as children is to the kind of people we become as we grow older. The reason I have also chosen Forensics is because I want to be able to help understand and help those who have taken a wrong path and that wish to better themselves. I absolutely can't wait to help people, it is a great  feeling to know someone is better thanks to you!

On my free time, something that seems to be scarce now a days due to work and school,  I enjoy embarking on a lot of different hobbies. A lot of my hobbies are results of my thrive to have adventure. I love traveling and exploring and the more often I get to do that, the better! I was born in Colombia, South America. Although I came to the US at a very young age, my parents have raised me with the culture of our home land. I have visited several times over the summer and travel all around the country. Nature is beautiful and wonderfully strange. Colombia Official Travel Guide is a great website to learn more about Colombia and the beautiful sights and travel spots that I have visited.  Another hobbie I really love is drawing. I am self taught artist and have a lot to learn. I tend to draw more often when I am stressed and need a sort of escape from the real world. I am currently working on drawing portraits (such as the one in the picture above) in black and white and would eventually love to start drawing in color.
