A Little Bit Of Relaxation

With only one day off during my 60+ hour week, I find myself becoming so excited for spring break that it is consuming most of my thoughts. Having time off is a rarity for myself as the semesters progress towards graduation, and I will admit--I am extremely excited for a break.

Having traveled most of the United States and planning most of my oversea travels, I realized why I am so excited for spring break, I have never been to Vegas and that's where I'm headed!

As I was looking at websites for Vegas, I quickly realized that the travel websites are about two things: booze and money... and I'm looking to do more than enjoy a cocktail and drain my money into a lit up machine. However, I came across a different website that was nestled in between links trying to take me to clubs and casinos. The website is called The Other Side Of Vegas.

I am very excited that there is an entire website that has the same perspective on Vegas as myself. Shows, ghost towns, museums, antique shopping. I have everything planned out. Now all I need is for time to fast forward to two weeks from now so I can start my spring break!

Travel Thoughts

For the summer I have been looking at different places to go abroad. I can't wait to travel everywhere but I have to choose somewhere to go first. As I was looking around at different places I found myself leaning towards India as my first choice. Mainly, my grandfather had great things to say about his travels there. As I was looking around for different websites about India I found a website that I thought was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

http://www.panoramas.dk is a website that has 360 degree panoramas of different places throughout the world. As I found myself looking at the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower, I thought I would sneak a peek at the Taj Mahal. http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen/fullscreen23.html. I thought it was such a fun website that I came across when looking for information about India!

Website That Caught My Attention

Being sick with strep throat this weekend has left me bedridden and computer crazy. With no voice to talk to anyone, I have been either sleeping or using Stumble Upon to groggily cruise the internet. Stumble Upon is a website that randomly selects websites based on a series of interests the user chooses when first signing up.

Stumble Upon takes me to many websites and more often than not, I don't find a site that can hold my interest for too long. However, the site FARK popped up and caught my attention for longer than 30 seconds. Fark is a website that displays real news from different sites however, it isn't typical 5 o'clock news that people are used to. The headlines read: "Kansas City is Being Torn Apart By Chocolate Beer," "How you can hide from Google. If you dare," and "Obesity epidemic hits US pets. Your dog wants a steak, but could use a salad."

Overall, I enjoyed the website and their creative headlines that made me read news reports that I otherwise wouldn't have taken a second look at.
