YES!!

Well, can you believe it ?? I, finally got into my blog!! Glory Halleuiah! :)

I really thought I was going to die, no, I thought that I was going to lose my mind, No I was beginning to cry hysterically, when I realized that I wasn't making a break-through. But I did.

This has been a really challenging two weeks for me. Last week, what was it? 5,6, 7, hours trying to figure this all out. Not only was I struggling to get my blog and postings started, I racked my brain trying to find the links. (that took only an hour, ok it took me an hour and a half, give or take a couple of minutes,or hours). Whereas, I have come to the realization that I am most definetly computer illiterate, and am a product of the industrial age mind set. I can no longer pretend that I can function effectively with technology and the new computer world.

I made a great step in acknowledging this about myself. Just like with members of AAA, the first step is acknowledging that you have an addiction. Well, I am a dysfunctional computer user, and I actually dreaded using the computer any other way than the basic ways. Please notice I said dreaded. That's past tense. Ater my breakthrough a new awaking has come over me. I am now eager, and very excited to learn a new language, to interact on a "higher level" to travel by new means and explore new worlds, by traveling in cyberspace. (I looked out the window and I Still can't see it.It must be past the stratusphere) I want to be better equiped to teach
and reach my students.

I owe my new out look on life to our Teacher, she gently told me that she could help. That gave me peace and a new hope. She did E-mail me and asked me to give her specifics on my troubles. Like, what happened when you did such and such. The question alone blew my mind. Did she really think I could explain it? After I let it saturate and I got the nerves to go back on the computer.( don't ask how many days it took, I got back on). Anyway to make a long story short, after a shorter time than before, and added knowlwdge and through trial and error I managed to get through this ever so simple (to you guys anyway) task. I couldn't get on my original bolg, so I created a new one with a new e-mail. I know that makes it complicated for others to e-mail me, but what is most important I got to post a blog!! :)
