My objective for this week was to finish all of week 2's assignments before the beginning of week 3. Can you say "Procrastination"? I am very good at it. I started out good and then gradually fell behind. I am ,however, planning on going to the library with Julie and Abbye everyday from now on so that I will be ahead of schedule like they always are. I always put more stress on myself than is necessary. You'd think I would learn. Nope!
This weeks assignments don't seem to be very hard. Just alot of reading involved. As I learned while reading one of 1.2.2 sites, I am not the only person who has to print things out in order to read them. It just feels like I am not getting the full effect if I read it from the monitor. Maybe its because I have a small monitor or something...who knows.
I enjoyed the class meeting in the library this week. It was alot of info to take in though. Hope I can remember everything. If not I guess I can count on my classmates for refreshing my memory.
For anyone who reads my little ole blog let me give you a little advice (although you have probably heard it before). ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS write everything in a word processing program and then just copy it to your emails. I had to redo my entire 1.1.9 assignment over because I typed it in the email body and accidently hit the mouse and somehow lost it!!! This was extremely gut wrenching for me and I have been kicking myself since.Hope everyone is having better luck than I am.
I am really enjoying reading all the emails and blogs. Hope mine isn't too boring.
Over and Out,
Cindy

I guess like everyone else my main objective for the week was just to survive and to want to return the following week. All I can say is...thank the Lord that we get Monday off for Labor Day. I will need that extra day to convince myself that I will make it through the week to come. I keep reminding myself that I survived Physics this summer and therefore I can make it through anything. (I was on the verge of tears everyday in class.) I WILL make it through this semester...and maybe even enjoy it. I have to make it!!!!! It sounds like my first week was horrible (can you say Drama Queen) but actually I am excited to be back and looking forward to learning 2 new languages...Spanish and Computer.

I know that I am a big procrastinator so I took off with the 315 homework the first opportunity that I got. Granted its Saturday night and I am just now doing my Journal but I wanted to get an idea of what everyone else was going to do first. Eight assignments down and only one more to go after this one is finished. It wasn't too painful either. I had to go step by step and read things a few times to get it straight in my head but it wasn't that difficult. Surprise!

I feel like after this course is finished that I may be able to carry on a conversation about computer processes with my brother and sound halfway intelligible. Also, I feel as though maybe I can complete Journal entries each week. I do not, I repeat DO NOT like doing Journals. I know this is really bad to admit, especially where my professor who loves this stuff can read it, but I have trouble writing my thoughts down. I can talk all day but when it comes to this stuff...lets just say I am not real excited about it...I am sure I will get over it...it hasn't killed me yet and I am almost finished. I'm just not a real "deep" thinker. I don't really reflect that often...I am very impulsive and usually only regret it when I do. Sad, I know. Who knows, after Ms. McComas gets finished with me this semester I may be as enthusiastic as some of my classmates about Journal entries. We will have to wait and see....

Hasta pronto! (See you soon!)
