Well I decided to get an early start on my journal and get this part out of the way. Week three hasn’t been that bad except for the remembrance of September 11. Class was canceled Wednesday night, which worked out really well for me since we wanted to attend the memorial service at the high school. Unfortunately, we had to leave around 8:30 because my niece had homework and so did I.

Productive thought for this week is organization. Since I bought my Dayminder I haven’t felt as pressured. I guess its because I have everything written down in one place and I’m trying really hard not to become obsessive and compulsive over my classes.

My aims and objectives for week 3 are to complete the assignments ahead of schedule so I can have some breathing room. I began working on my assignments a couple of nights ago and if my computer worker a little faster I’d probably be less stressed. As I was sitting there trying to subscribe to the professional mailing list I was wondering what is taking so long. My computer is so slow sometimes it drives me nuts. I found the name search assignment to be a frustrating experience. The reason why I feel this way is because all the search engines that I’ve been using have brought up the same info. It seems all the databases have the same resources. Another problem for the week was that I couldn’t get the Vark Inventory to work. I’m going to try again later tonight just in case it’s working now. That assignment looks like a lot of fun. Friday night and Saturday I worked on my Webliography. This is the first time I have ever created anything like this. So when I finished I couldn't believe that I could actually accomplish a project like this. I guess maybe for some people its not that big of deal but for me it was monumental. I wanted everyone to see what I had done. Wow!

Oh well I had a real scare this week. It was when I printed off the MRP instructions. It looks frightening. I am wondering how in the world am I going to be able to do all this. Even though I’m dreading all the work some of the projects actually look fun and exciting. I’ve never written a poem before and I’ve definitely never considered myself to be creative so I’m looking forward to learning how to do something new.

Oh well just another challenge or I could say ocean to swim on my long journey of education. I keep telling myself I’m the SPONGE and I’m gonna be okay.
