Websites

Creating a website is a very hard process. Creators should consider color, site architecture, layout, meta tags, and key words before creating a website. Websites can be created on special websites like Wix.com or Webs.com. Knowing your audience and choosing appropriate strategy can help attract more vitiors to the website. Establishing your own website depends a lot on marketing because the aim is to attract customers and convince them that your product is good. Menus, toolbars, and color design should be well-organized, and pages must be in good contrast. Many retail stores switch to sell their product on the web because it is a convenient way to offer things.

Spring.

Spring is a wonderful season because the weather is warmer, and all plants change to the green color. But March was cold in Alfred compared to other cities abroad. I love spring because it is sunny. When it is sunny outside, more people are able to do more things they have to do. April will be in 3 days. The first day of April might be funny because it is April's Fools day. Classes will finish in six weeks, and students will be on the summer break which is the best break of all breaks. I hope the weather will be warmer in April, and this time of the season will leave a lot of good memories.

Swimming Practice

I did not swim for a whole month. Today I went to the pool and swam. It was hard to swim because I have not been swimming for a month. I barely did thousand warmup. I swam for half an hour, and then I was working on my flip turns and starts. The water was warm. One of my friends from swimming team to the pool too, so we practiced together. It was a good hour practice on Friday evening.

Spring Is the Winter

It is almost April. Today is March 23rd, and the weather outside is bad. It is cold and windy. When I woke up this morning, I could not believe that it was snowing outside. Everything was white, and reminded me of the middle of January. Weather conditions now are very similar to those in January. Of course, classes were canceled. The winter in Afred is five months instead of four. I hope it was the last snow this year, and it will be warm soon.

Classes Are Back!

Classes are back, and students are not motivated. The weather is rainy and cloudy. This is one of the reasons why students are not highly motivated to study again. Spring break passed quickly. Seven more weeks are left until the summer break. I hope it will be sunny and warm soon, so students will have bright days in their lifes. The second half of the semester should pass quickly as did the first half, and students will do their best to finish the academic year well.

Spring Break Life

Life in Alfred is quiet. Only a few students stayed on campus. The weather is getting warmer. Three days ago, I was walking around the campus and saw a deer near the dining hall. It was a small deer like in the cartoon. It is a good time to think about the life, classes, and future plans when you stay almost alone for one week. Besides sleeping and eating I go to the gym. In about two weeks, our swimming team will have a water polo match against Alfred University. It should an interesting game.

Spring Break like a Winter Break.

March 11, 2011 is the most important days for all students in Alfred State College. This is start of the spring break. All people on campus have been already packed before classes and were ready to go home after the final class. The weather during the day was cloudy and a little bit windy. But closer to the evening it started snowing again. It is cold outside and reminds me that it is not a spring. It looks more like winter in January. Many students will meet their parents, relatives, and parents today. I wish everybody to have a good break.

Spring Break

In two days, students will go on the spring break. Everybody is excited. A lot of students will have vacations and trips to other cities. This is the only break in spring semester, so students and faculty will have a good time to have a rest. Spring break is also good if someone has a homework to do on the break. The break will be one week, and Alfred State's campus will quite and almost empty because everyone will be gone. The Spring break is a good opportunity to summon strengths and be ready to study for the second half of the semester.

March 8

March 8th is an international women's day. Usually this holiday is celebrated in former Soviet Union countries. It is a big holiday, and it is a day off. Schools and universities do not hold classes on this day. Men congratulate and give presents to all women they know. It is also a good opportunity to be with your family. Many people go to restaurants and have a good time. This day is especially good because people are kind and wish each other to be happy.

Back to Cold

On March 6th, Sunday, a lot of snow fell again. It was snowing during the whole day. The wind was cold and temperature was about 18, 19 degrees. I hope it was the last snow, and this week the weather will be getting warmer. It is good that today, March 7th, the day is sunny. The winter sometimes last more than it should be but everyone wants warm spring. The snow caused people to wear boots and warm clothes again.

Getting Warmer

The winter in Alfred, NY was cold. Compared to the last winter, this one one was colder. Snow was falling almost everyday on December and January. Some classes were canceled at the beggining of the spring semester due to the bad weather conditions. This is my second winter in Alfred, and I fully understood how it is to live on the North part of America. The temperature sometimes was below zero. But I liked this weather because it was beautiful when everything around was white. When you wake up in the morning and go outside, it is unforgettable view. The winter was a real winter because a lot of snow fell, and it was cold.

Last Practice

On Tuesday, March 1, I had the last swimming practice this season. This season was very interesting, and I made some new friends. Our swimmng team went to several colleges for meets, and some meets were very absorbing to see. The last practice was short and intense. We worked on starts from blocks and flip turns. Then our assistant coach told us to meditate because on the next day the team should have gone to nationals in Buffalo. Meditation is a very good exercise because people can relax and refresh their mind. This swimming season means a lot for me because I got a big experience in communicating with people and improved my swimming techniques.

Second Test

Today, March 2, I had a second test in business communications class. I was studying for this test since last friday. But I was nervous a little bit before the test. I came to class and started to review material from the book. As it was promptly nine o'clock, we were given tests. As it appeared, the test was not so difficult. It included three sections. The test contained true and false, multiple choice, and revision of messages sections. After 50 minutes, we submitted tests. Now I will eait for my result, and I hope the result will be good.

Financial Planning and Taxes

I had a Financial Planning class on February 28, 2011. The chapter we started this day was very important becuase the the topic was taxes. I understood that paying taxes is important. Knowing how to pay taxes can allow people to reduce their tax payments to "Uncle Sam." Our professor introduced a new teacher who will be teaching financial planning next semester, and a new four-year financial planning program will be available for students. This is a good opportunity to switch to this program because the professor said that this major is very interesting, and people can make money. This major has a big stress on taxes which can help people to minimze their tax payments.
