Dear GOD,

Dear GOD,

Thank you so much for Mark S for without him I would be over the edge by now! He helped me figure out what I had done incorrectly on both my Blog and posting the Zotero assignment to my blog (I see a running theme here where my blog is concerned!)I think I would have figured out how to change the size of the assignment as I Googled that and it looked fairly simple (what I thought about creating a blog too!) At any point it is now onto the Lab assignment - but 1st I am going to go play tennis with my girlfriend who is in town - then back to in front of this computer. If it is the last thing I do (and that looks like a possibility) I will learn to "love" the computer and all the things that I am able to do on it! Thank you GOD. Sincerely, Linda

Sunday June 6th

Today was a great day! I should have stayed home and done school work but instead chose to go to a retirement surprise party for 2 teachers I worked with when I was at Logan Elementary as a Teacher Assistant for 2 learning support classes! It has been years since I have seen some of these "friends". I am so happy I went and caught up with them and what has been going on in their lives! The weather held out and it ended up being just perfect out. I came home and turned off the air and opened the windows and it will be so pleasant sleeping tonight. Tomorrow I might wish I had stayed home and done school work but I will never regret my decision! Happy time! Now we will get together once a month to eat, drink and laugh! Great day.

I have NO idea....

I just finished watching the class lecture for Intro to computers June 1st and I think my brain is fried. I think I'm doing alright understanding things and then the questions start from the class and I can't hear the question and then when the question gets answered I am totally lost and it's just downhill from there. I just start to get a bit of confidence in that class and then it's like being hit in the face and being knocked out only to come to and find out that no one noticed and you feel like you are listening to a foreign language!!!! I now need to go take a nap just to let my brain rest. By the time I finish watching class my jaws are clenched so tight that I am afraid when I open my mouth my jaw will break. This is not good. I listened to the 8 minute video in dabbledb and that just shoved me over the edge. I mean seriously could the guy talk any faster????? I turned it off because I was not understanding anything! I need to go take a nap or a shower or both and then I am going to church and PRAY.

last full day of students!

Thank God today was the last full day for students! Was the last day for lunch duty! I had 2 lunches to monitor this year and it was hell! The only good thing about lunch duty is it's air conditioned...the bad is that it's lunch duty. Getting things done for my online classes despite that my computer is freezing up on me! Three half days (finals) and then 1 full day (in-service) and I am off for 8 weeks. Trying to get ahead so that when I am on vacation I won't have to spend too much time doing school work. Am wondering what I will do if my husband wins the trip to Hawaii. The trip is in Sept and I am sure it's right after fall classes start. Guess I'll just deal with that when the time comes. It's late and I'm tired and have to get up to workout tomorrow so I'm outta here.

whatever.....

Got everything all set up to do the Jing assignment and just could not get things done in under 5 minutes. The computer just takes too long. After about the 10th attempt the computer decided it didn't want Jing to work ........I talk too much and the computer is too slow and I hope my new laptop comes soon!!!!!! I finally know what I am doing and the computer decides it doesn't want to let me do it!!! FRUSTRATING!!! I will shut it down and try again tomorrow. A shout out to Mark - thanks for all your help. I thank God that you speak computer!!!!

getting there...

Well I finally seem to be getting somewhere.... Got my hair cut off yesterday and feel like a new person. Found someone who is computer smart and willing to be patient with helping me understand the different things I can do on the computer! Getting through a lot of the reading and actually spent 20 minutes yesterday reading for pleasure. Trying not to stress too much over these 2 classes and if the weather would just cool down a little bit I would be so happy!
