Week 1 and 2 - Oh Joy!

Hello Friends!

I am back for another semester of graduate school. Oh joy. :)

It was wonderful to have a break to refresh, relax and rejuvenate. During school breaks, I can read and relax and not think of deadlines outside of work.

Week One

I have four courses this semester. Pray for me. In my IT-648 class, we were required during week 1 to introduce ourselves. Don't you just love when no one responds to your introduction? No one responded except Dr. Wang (thanks Dr. Wang!). One student responded to everyone except me. Did my picture scare everyone away? LOL. Who knows. It isn't a big deal, but in a fleeting moment, I felt like the new student in class that everyone else ignored. This thought quickly passed and I formed a wonderful group and moved on to my assignments and communication with my students. :)

Week Two

Okay -- I admit, this week got the best of me. It started out with a bang on Monday. Tuesday, I had a very productive online meeting with my wonderful group members (hi Kandi, Madelon and Kala! :)). However, it went all downhill by Wednesday evening. We had a terrible storm and tornado watch and we lost power that evening. How did we ever live without the Internet? I felt like a meth addict without money to buy meth (I guess a meth addict would panic, right?).

Needless to say, I am a bit behind and will spend the weekend catching up. I plan to get a head start on Week 3 to prepare for any type of future crises.

Goodnight!
