Right now while I'm waiting for my jury duty and putting the final touches on my papers, I thought I would take the time to share a few pictures of my "babies". In the photo on the left, the dog on the left is "little" Zeke. He's 9 1/2 months old and weights approx. 75 lbs. The dog on the right of the same photo is Angel. She is approx. 14 mos. old and 65 lbs. In the second picture, Zeke is in the front and Angel is in the back. They are both Akitas and true to the breed they are both strong willed.
When I first heard about the IT graduate program about a year ago I was very excited. This week I have felt overwhelmed, but as I get my IT "legs" I think that will go away. I'm very excited when something goes right, and when I realize I've learned something new. In just this short period of time I have already learned and done things I have never done before. I had never heard of Google Docs, Social Bookmarking, some of the web browsers we researched, and I had never blogged before. I always wondered why people blog when they could just "speak" to someone. So before I did my first blog my friend said to me I should use my blog as a "journal" so that when I look back I can see how far I have come. Now that I have set up my blog, I understand why people do it. I'm excited to read my classmates blogs and learn about them, and to record my progress along the way in my own blog. Technology is forever changing and I'm glad to be part of it.
Tammy, those are some cool dogs! I have a dog too. His name is Budee and he's a 70 pound white boxer. He's a little older than yours though, he'll be 6 in October. As I read through the rest of your post, it seams that a lot of what you said is how I feel as well. It's amazing how much we are learning, but at the same time you have to stop and breath because you know you have so much to do! What I have found helpful is just to do a little bit at a time here and there. I will stay at school and do a little of this work, or during my lunch I will take 10 minutes to do some school work. Then when I get home I will do a little to. It seemed to do well last week and I think it will help me out every week there is class.
ReplyDeleteThere really is power in the collaboration of the blogs and sharing, we all learn from one another. Have you read a classmates blog that made you reflect on something yet?
