Oh, Gee Whiz!
Right now I am feeling rather fearful. Tonight, we all tried to utilize a new form of chat and it didn't work very well. I couldn't figure out how to use the listen.3mu file without having to give Yahoo my credit card information. My husband was trying to help me and I found myself getting even more frustrated! Who knew I was so technologically challenged?
In addition to feeling totally inept in the technology department, I'm also trying to handle the intensely philosophical voice of Thomas Kuhn and still complete thorough comments on the drafts of my junior students' American Literature research papers. What was I thinking, trying to start a new grad school program at the end of the school year?
Luckily, I think I'm not the only one feeling crazy. Lots of the postings on our discussion boards seem to demonstrate that my new classmates are experieincing similar emotions.
I'm going to think positively and remember that with practice and dedication, I will begin to learn these new skills and complete the assigned tasks.
On the plus side, I tried out the Skype practice call and it worked! So at least that was one positive from the day!

I felt the same frustration with the class last night. Well, it can only get better, right?
