About Me
So my name is Meredith, I am named after my grandmother's maiden name. My last name is Fondren which is hebrew for blacksmith. I'm twenty years old and I live with my mother. My parents are divorced for over a year now and my father has remarried. I have two dogs, Hilde, who is a miniature schnauzer, and Milo, who is a shi zhu. I'm an only child so my dogs are my siblings. I'm in a long term relationship with a wonderful man named Justin. I am going to USA so I can live at home and be close to my family and friends. I have become a very fitness focused person, I love to workout and I also love to read.
Randy Pausch on Time Management
What I learned from Dr. Pausch's video is that a plan is crucial to having good time and task management. Making a to-do list helps you realize how many things you need to accomplish and helps you to not procrastinate.
Hey Meredith!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to EDM310! I decided to come to South to remain near family as well. I also LOVE to read. It's why I am an English and secondary ed. major.
Plans certainly are crucial, but did you learn anything else from Dr. Pausch's lecture? He's a great individual and what he has to say about prioritizing in life is something we could all take a lesson from.
Hi Meredith,
ReplyDeleteI love that you have your grandmothers maiden name. I think family is very important and carrying on family names is just a cool way of staying connected to our loved ones. I found it interesting that you were an only child and you are pursuing teaching as a career. I think society sometimes stereotypes kids with no siblings to be socially awkward when it comes to interaction with children.However I do not agree I have many friends who are only children and my best friend only has one child and she is very well rounded. It takes a more concerted effort from the parents to engage them with other children I think.
I also try to be very health concise and enjoy working out. It is a stress relief for me.
I definitely have had to implement the to do list mentioned in Mr. Pausch's video. Just like you said it help not to be a procrastinator and complete task more effectively.
