tHiiS hAs GoT tO bE fUn.

So as week three came and left on me, I am sitting here trying to figure out what to say. Anyways enough with this, I will figure out something to say. So what I have to say is.....nothing is coming to mind. Alright I think I may have something. Some people get on my nerves so bad. The reason being is, when I'm driving down the road and some idiot is riding my butt and just about hits me. People really need to have some respect and watch the road and not ride my butt when I'm already going over the speed limit. Alright enough of being crabby. So this class is taking its toll on me because, it means I have to actually sit longer than I want to. But, in the long run I'm glad I actually get to sit down for a minute. I think that this week it has taken me over sixteen hours to do this class. I get it but, my head is still in a ton of pain from the surgery. The doctors are thinking they have found a new problem to deal with. The headaches are coming back ten times worse, and no one knows why. This issue I am hoping will go away really soon. We can only pray though. I have only got two weeks left until my vacation with my family. I can not wait. We really can use vacation right about now. This is one of the hardest things about having a daycare, never any time off. I think that this class is starting to teach me more and more about computers everyday but, I have recently learned this class is very time consuming. I know that most college classes are but, a little more than I have expected. The things that are taking more time than anything is the digital literacy. I am not liking that to much. It's kind of hard and complicated to me. I think that I could get the hang of it if I sat and messed with it for hours on end. I just don't have the time for that. So that's why it's kind of hard.
So I recently found this website called nettop20.com that is all about current events. I found that they have the top twenty websites for the week. These websites are all about computers. I find this place very interesting because it gives you websites for interesting downloads. I personally like the cool tool of the day website. Like I say its the top twenty websites so everyone may have their own opinion. The other one that I love is the free downloads that they give. I personally don't download anything on my computer, but I always tell my friends that have computers so they can get some stuff. Also their is a new site for computer news. It hasn't been out for that long. So I am not one hundred percent about it. But, I know it keeps you up to date on all the computer news. Infoworld.com is the site. I think that with this site every one can learn something from it. I hope everyone enjoys this weeks blog. Thanks :) Christina

Weeks Go By!

Weeks go by..
This is week two of this computer class. So far so good. Kind of. I have gotten most of this work done but, I am behind due to some surgery I just had on my head. This class would be a lot more enjoyable if I didn't have a headache all the time. But, life goes on right? The reason I had surgery was because I was born with two small bumps on the crown of my head. They are just known as nautical scars. No one knows what they are or were caused by. So after twenty two years of these bumps getting on my nerves I finally went in and had them taken off. Alright, not just like that but, after the EEG, MRI, and a few biopsies they came off. They weren't connected to anything so surgery was a lot easier. Twenty one stitches and an incision line was left on my head. Its like a little hole now but, soon it will just be a perfect little line. This is why the headaches have been affecting my homework. I have to say at least it was not the dog. In the middle of all this surgery stuff with me, my four year old comes down with some virus. He has had a fever, vomiting, coughing, and a runny nose. For some reason this little virus has hit practically everyone on my side of the family. Both of my sons are momma's boys. So they don't want me to do anything but hold them. My arms are so worn that I can barley lift them. But, these things makes me know why I love being a mommy. So while my son and I were on the couch sick as all get out, my youngest goes outside and picks us a whole bunch of dandelions. It made me feel so special. The little things in life like dandelions are what makes me feel like I'm doing something right. So now I am playing catch up on all of my homework with all of my classes. Where there is a will there is a way!! I have a will!. My family and I are counting down the days until we get to go on vacation. We can't wait, we deserve it after all the hard work we have done. This will be our first family vacation, and were gonna have the time of our lives! It will be in the middle of this class, so, its looking as if you guys will get to see the vacation also. Speaking of the middle of this class, this class is going good. I usually spend around eight hours a week on it. Getting my classes are really important to me. Seeing that I know a little bit about computers, its not to hard for me. I do struggle a little, but, when I do I try with the next chapter to study a little more. The only part that I don't like about this class is the digital part. I think I really like the book a lot better. But, I will hopefully get used to doing the digital literacy a little better. I do enjoy doing the skills review though, it seems to teach me a little more every time about my computer. So after all is said and done I have to say math is still my favorite subject!! :) Hope everyone else enjoys this blog as much as me :) Have a good day!
