Blog #4 Library Tutorial

In the tutorial for the library I learned about the database search engines. They have scholarly articles and peer reviewed journals, as well as e-books, unlike just searching in Google. Using the databases i know the information will be factual and strongly support the point I am trying to make.

I also was refreshed about plagarism. I already was aware of what plagirism was, and have always avoided anything with confusion of what may or may not be. If not sure, cite it! Plagirism can get you expelled from a university, then making it very difficult to get into any other university. Just do your own work, otherwise your whole future can be ruined.

Three things I didn't know were:
1) how to use the database to find "general information"
2) The skunk ape existed
3) saving books to a folder in the library to find it later on

Blog #3 FIRE

Sitting on fold up camping chairs surrounding a crackling fire in a fire pit made of large rocks is so relaxing. Hanging out around a fire on a cool starry night, there isn't anything better. The scent of burning tree limbs brings back childhood memories. The embers drifiting up into the dark night sky like little fireflies. The flame dancing up and down, and slowly swaying side to side with the slight breeze. Almost as if it had life. A fire is so beautiful, but if it isn't controlled it can destroy other beauty creating a burnt lifeless scene.
