As I started the week I was feeling really "bummed out". I just came back from my honeymoon and wasn't ready for school to start yet. I wanted to stay on the beach for atleast 5 or 6 more weeks (LOL!) But seriously, I have worked really hard this summer (summer classes) and needed a longer break (in my opinion). Nevertheless here I am and I am making it. I thought I would be stressed out by now, but actually I am not. There hasn't been too many assignments so far and everything seems to be manageable.
I do enjoy my computer very much. I look forward to learning all that I possibly can. As I read through all the assignments I actually felt eager to begin. Before three years ago I was one of those people that didn't even know how to turn on a computer. Now I feel very confident in my self to say that I can find my way around pretty well. I ask alot of questions, but that is how I get where I need to be. My husband, being the computer genius that he is, helps me alot. He has taught me all that I know! I must add that my dear friend google helps me alot too. I also receive alot of techno help from MSN tech and gadgets. There is more than one way to get somewhere and hopefully this class will help me find some more.
I do a bit of personal writing on my computer already. I never considered it a journal though. I suppose it would be. I write through out the year to my daughter. I record all the exciting things she is doing (first day of school, first bestfriend, funny things she says) and some of the not so great things (6 year old temper tantrums, smart mouth sayings, and so on). Most importantly I share with her my thoughts and feelings about her growing up. I plan to give these letters to her as an adult. I have been doing this as long as she has been alive and will continue until my fingers stop me.
I use email to stay in touch with the many many friends I have made in the past. I have friends as far away as the Netherlands that I stay in touch with by email. If I didn't have my computer I would be very sad. I get to see my friends' children grow up in a way that wouldn't be possible if it were not for technology. From time to time I even chat with my dad from Alabama.
As this week is coming to an abrupt end, I feel confident that I made it through ok. No worries (so far)!
Well for now I must get ready to cheer the Herd on. My little darling just woke from her beauty rest and we must go tailgate!!
ttfn (ta ta for now)~~~~~MDS
