End of Financial Analysis and Beginning of Teach Project

Well, I just finished the Financial Analysis project. It seemed like it would be fun to plan a trip to Europe, yet somehow it was torturous. Probably because I am not someone who likes planning, math, or finance. But I do like travel, so maybe someday all of that planning will really come in handy. I really didn’t like planning the budgets. The spreadsheet was difficult to work with, as was posting them on WordPress, though I managed to do it. My most helpful tools were my travel books, Lonely Planet Western Europe and Europe by Eurail 2008. I poured over them and used their prices for most of my information.

Now, a look ahead at the Teach project is required. I love art. In fact, I am an art major and plan on becoming an art teacher, so I think this project will be good for me. Lately I have been learning how to teach others in several of my life activities. I think for this project, I will teach something art related. Photoshop comes to mind. Or maybe Picasa, which is similar to Photoshop, but it is offered free from Google. It has fewer features, though. I think Picasa will be a good lesson to teach because anyone can use it because it is free and less complicated than Photoshop.

Financial Analysis Project – My Biggest Dreams

I have to list my biggest dreams for my financial analysis project. Lets see……

1. Go on a trip to Europe

2. Be an art teacher overseas

3. Own my own art gallery

4. Be a professional artist/photographer

Now I must chose one to focus on for this project. I think going on a trip to Europe would be a good thing to focus on. It would be easiest to research, and it is the goal that is in my most immediate future. Maybe it will happen soon!

Completing the Culture Site Project

My culture site is now complete. I optimized photos for the site without any problems, which was a big surprise to me! I thought I would have to email my professor with a million questions, but the instructions were thorough and it was easy. I enjoyed reading the other student’s culture sites. Some were very impressive! Now that this project is done, I have to start thinking about the Financial Analysis project. When I heard there was a financial analysis project, I thought it would be about accounting, or a lot of math. This did not excite me in the slightest. But I just looked at the financial analysis page and it looks like it could be fun! It is a project where you pretend to live out one of your dreams, and you must analyze the cost of this dream. So I guess it is about accounting and math, but it sounds sort of fun because it is about your personal dreams and ambitions in life. I will have to start thinking about what mine are!
