Blog Assignment 1

About Me Hello my name is Robert Fisher. I was born in Tokyo and moved to Hawaii when I was three. I spent a total of fourteen years in Hawaii. I also lived in Puerto Rico for three years. I have lived here in Alabama since May of 2011. When I am not working or in school I enjoy playing video games and tennis. I have also been collecting U.S. coins for more than ten years. I have attended Leeward Community College, American Military University and the University of South Alabama. I transferred to USA because I recently moved here. I chose the University of South Alabama because of recommendations from friends and family. I have found that this university is my favorite.

I am happy to be living in this area because most of my close family lives within a hundred miles. When I used to live on islands it was very difficult to visit them. Not only was there a long flight involved but there was also the problem of money. Flying was so expensive I rarely saw my family. A real shock I find now is meeting relatives I do not know. They all seem to say the same things like, “remember me? I remember when you were this tall.” Then they use their hands to show a height of about three feet. I have a lot of catching up to do. I am happy to be here and I will be staying for a long time. Part II Response to the Randy Pausch Video After watching the video and reflecting I realized that I do not equate money with time at all. I do not feel that my time has a dollar value but I understand why he said it first. Time is valuable. I realize that my time is worth something. Procrastination is something that I need to work on. I know I will be happier. There have been times that I used things mentioned in the video. I have done the hardest work first before and noticed that the rest of the day felt like something I had earned. Inevitably I revert to doing work when the deadline approaches. This video is something I will remember and keep in mind especially if I start wasting time.
