COME ON REALLY

Alright here I am again, talking your ears off. Is that possible to talk someone’s ears off by reading? I’m thinking a yes for that one. Alright I got caught up a little bit, not by much though. I’m still working on homework every day. I have recently learned I am starting to hate my computer. This computer lately has really gotten on my nerves. Really it is gotten on my last nerve. I don’t think it’s the class that I am starting to hate I honestly believe it is the computer. It doesn’t do most of the stuff I want it to do, and it’s a brand new computer. I am thinking of throwing it out the window. (But my husband said no) I will be working on something like Digital Literacy and either it won’t start for me or else it quits in the middle of it. UGH. Then I have to go back through and do it again. Did I mention I don’t like Digital Literacy? It gets on my nerves also. It is just one of those things I think I can live without. Maybe. Even though it is a good thing to have, it’s just not for me. I need a vacation already. This class, this computer, this life, it’s all too much for me. I’m thinking the Bahamas will be good for a couple of weeks. Right now that would never happen though. Wow my imagination goes wild. Anyways on Netflix there are a few great movies to watch you guys should check them out.

Let's not Laugh at this.

This is no laughing matter when I say I’m in the hole. I’m in the hole in school work. But, I’m not going to complain because I am right here working on it. At this very minute I am so close to being done I can taste it. Too late to give up now, I have got to keep going. Wow, working on this class, work, being a mom and all that good stuff is really hard to do. Why can’t I be super mom? Wait; to my sons I am super mom. They think I snap my fingers and everything is done. Well just a secret everything that is done in my house usually has a lot of tears associated with them. There is so much school work, house work, yard work, and then work in general that I feel like I can’t go any further. This class has taken me longer to finish than I ever expected. I was hoping by now I would be all caught up but, I was wrong. I am still behind struggling. I’ll get this someday, hopefully soon though. I’m thinking right about now my guardian angel could come down and help me. But, I’m sure she see’s I have tons of work and say no thanks. The only thing I really struggle with in this class is Digital Literacy. I really liked the old computer concepts book we had. But, some things have to be changed. One of those things can be my way of thinking. 

Here we are on week six. This shall be good. Things are getting better and class work is getting harder. My sons are finally all better but, my dad is getting worse. I’m trying my hardest to stay afloat but, honestly it’s not working at all. I’m still behind in my work and praying isn’t helping get it done. I rush thru most of my work hoping for a miracle to happen but nothing. I’m thinking the hardest thing so far is the Digital Literacy. This program hates me with a passion. I think it wants me to fail. It won’t work at all on my computer. Again I’m praying for a miracle to happen. This work isn’t going to do itself. I try to spend as much time on my homework as I can. I haven’t looked at the clock to see how much time I spend on it. But I know it’s a lot of time. I’m hoping that I will get caught up soon. But it’s a lot I have to catch up on. I just need to think positive. Also I’ll try to keep telling myself I can do it. Some things just seem like it’s too much on me. This is one of those things. I have to say I’m a pretty good floater but this I think has got me beat. But here I am, doing what I do best, working on more work. Sooner or later this will get done and hopefully I will pass this class. If I don’t, I don’t know what I would do. Seeing that this is the second time I’ve taken this class. Alright time to get back to some more assignments. Have fun.

Alread Week 5

So this is already week five. We are just about half way thru this class. As I sit here typing this paper, knowing I am behind on a few things I wonder if I will ever finish what I started. Thinking I won’t and hoping I will. This class is really starting to teach me a few more things about my computer but, it seems I can’t stay caught up. I am struggling to get all the school work done. I know that it should have already been done and now I am paying for it. It takes me quite a while to do the work for this class. Especially since I am now dealing with a few sick kids. I sometimes wonder if they get sick only so ill put the computer down and focus on them. Either way they always get my attention. This week I have gotten so much bad news that it’s really took a toll on me. With my kids being sick and me having to tend to them I also got a phone call from my dad who told me he had another heart attack. So with all that I have to honestly say this class was not on my priority list. Not a good thing at all. I’m one of those who thinks they need to do and take care of everyone. Hopefully I will get caught up really soon so I don’t have to cram for the rest of my life on everything else. 

WeEk 4.

Week four has came entirely too fast. I have gotten behind in a lot of my classes. I am trying my hardest to get caught up. It all takes time. That is why I am locked in my room doing this. It is good for the soul. So with this week things have not really been good on my side. That saying things come in three’s, yeah I think that is right. Three of my family members have been in the hospital. I was supposed to take vacation, well my vacation ended up turning into a family crisis. This happens to me a lot. It’s alright I still got to see my family, just not like I wanted. I did get to see the ocean which was very soothing. Things have defiantly been rough but, I’m trying to keep my head above water. Everything happens for a reason. This reason being my family is in the hospital, I have not a clue. But, they will pull threw. J

So with this being week four of class, I am understanding pretty well. So far not to many problems comprehending. I am hoping I start learning some new stuff. I’m always wanting to learn something new. I love to teach my sons the things I learn. I’m not spending enough time in this class doing my work that is what caused me to get so far behind. I’m pulling it together though. I’m thinking I will have learned so many new things by the time this class is over that my head will be spinning. Which is a good thing my head will be spinning. I continue to ask myself what does Robin have in store for us next!!. We can only wait and see.. Hehe.

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!
