THING NO. 2 Thoughts on Creating My Blog and Avatar

My friends are constantly pushing me towards blogging. So, now they can be excited I am finally doing it! I enjoy writing about real life concerns and daily issues that we face...or anything else that comes to my mind on a particular day. I named my blog "Stanley School of Thought" because I once wanted to open a pre-school with that name based on different theories of learning incorporated with extreme psychological influence by educating parents on Behaviorist concepts...blah, blah, blah and whatever else I was hyped on during that time in my life....haha. I am a firm believer that certain mechanics can shape the minds of children to become their best possible 'self'. I believe Psychology as a Science that needs to taught as a subject matter and not sketched beneath the surface of why we do the things we do. Rather, knowledge is power and teaching parents how to raise children based on different theories of learning in collaboration of genetic make-up became very intriguing to me...So, yes, that is where the name came from!

My avatar....She reflects my personality. I love to travel. I just returned from a two week vacation exploring France, Italy, Spain, and Croatia. I was able to fit so much in because it was a cruise...In fact, almost identical to the one you may have recently seen on the news that began to sink after the captain sailed off course in shallow water.  Funny thing, we sailed off course because our captain wanted to get close the island of Stromboli to witness an active volcano. Everyone left their dinner tables on this particular night to stand in the cold to witness nothing but pitch black scenery...never even making out any aspect of the island. None the less, it was one of the most educational experiences of my life. I travel frequently to warm climates to enjoy the sunshine. In the last year I discovered that as much as I love to travel, I would rather spend it visiting places that require only sundresses and flip flops...This may be some type of adaptation to avoiding the misery of packing for cold climates.

I found creating the blog somewhat difficult because of editing color schemes and making the blog as a whole, work well and seem inviting and interesting. To be honest, I may change it around time to time until I get it just like I want it... As I learn more and add more...It may end up looking completely different by the end of the semester. I like color and being creative with color...I have this amazing picture of one of the islands off of Venice, you probably know of Burano...If not, you will feel its beauty in the amazing photo I captured while there. When I locate it I want to post it and really work all the colors together to be complimentary of one another...basically to give justice to the photo...another little hobby I recently picked up...photography!
