Relaxing

So, this is my second blog ever....I am still getting the hang of it...for e.g. I still don't know how to add anyone on it as "friends" or whatever they call them here....I do say though that it is like a mini journal to the world...it is raining outside...and I am listening to the rain, writing in my journal....a personal inner-most journal with all of my thoughts and desires out for the world to see; and it feels good. Why? Because now they are not trapped thoughts....and now I can see if there are people out there that actually think like me....and if not, why? I am no longer hiding....but framing myself...and it is kind of cool....
'til next time...

First Time for Everything

This class has been a roller coaster to say the least. I did not expect so much reliance on technology or team members. I think that it is good because it is forcing me out of my comfort zone and teaching me things I never wanted to learn, as well as communicating with others, which I generally refrain from doing.
But, it is pulling teeth. I am not enjoying it, and I find it a little disorganized, hectic, and round about. I am also not prepared to embarrass myself in front of people that want to learn from me and want me to be their mentor...! I have been humilated enough saying that I don't know how to use 99% of the technologies, in class confrontations, and not knowing what I am really doing. I feel like mentoring a teacher is a nice gesture, but we are not prepared.
For the most part, yes, I am learning about technologies....not about the world. I am learning, but I am very confused. I am sure I am not the only one because as I was sitting in class asking peers around me what we are doing, have done, etc. . . not one person could answer.
