Bonjour!
So last week i was in Paris on vacation and had a wonderful time. Being able to travel and still attend class is the best perk of being an online student, wouldn't you say? When i was away i was trying to blog however my blog page was in French, so sorry for the delay in postings! We are wrapping up the end of another semester and i hope that everyone has a great summer!

Good Afternoon Guys!
How is the registration going? I picked up a class that looks really interesting, it called: Media from a Liberal Arts Perspective. Has anyone taken this course yet? It looks pretty cool, any class that has me watching T.V. is a good class! I am also signed up for the Lab version of Plants and Society. Looking for suggestions for classes? Well let me offer my opinion.
1. The Internet and American Life- this was the first credited class i took here at UIS and i really loved it! It is alot of fun. Great first class.
2. The Chinese Century- I knew NOTHING about China before taking this class. It was a changeling course but you learn alot. Because of that course i decided to study abroad in South East Asia for the month of May.
3. Introduction to HTML- Coming into this class i was lost. I had always seen the source page (right click mouse and click view source code) however it was a totally foreign language for me. I took the class and had a great time and learned that it is not that hard. The course has you make your own website which was alot of fun.
4. Family Life and Public Policy- I am in this class now and i really like it. You spend alot of time talking about issues that effect home life and also society. I would also recommend this course.
Sorry i wrote so much! I hope this helps you guys pick your classes. I also took more classes that i loved but i didn't want to overwhelm you on the blog. If you want suggestions just email me: cjoyc2@uis.edu. Again, if you are having any problems or just looking to talk to someone from the online world send me an email i would love to hear from you.
Enjoy,
Colleen

Hi! My name is Colleen Joyce. I’ve got a tough commute to UIS, exactly 96 feet from my bedroom to my computer room! As you might have guessed I am an online student here at UIS. I am a Jersey girl whose fingers found the way to UIS. I take all my classes online and have been for the past four years. I will be graduating in December with a degree in Liberal Arts. Besides spending my days trolling the Internet for school, I enjoy traveling. Some might say that I have a bad case of the travel bug. In May I will be traveling to South East Asia for a business study abroad trip!

Come back soon!
Colleen
