Thing 2

Since I have zero experience with creating a blog or an avatar, this experience was a little stressful.  I couldn't find the things I needed at first, but eventually I figured it all out.  I just named my blog after me.... it seemed like the simplest thing to do. It was not really hard to create the blog, rather it was a simple process once I figured out the website.  My avatar looks like me.  I made her have a stack of books because I love to read, and with school I feel like I am always buried under a stack of books and homework.

Thing 1

This is my first experience with blogging, so here goes nothing! Technology has never really been my thing.  However, with this class I will be learning some new things so maybe I can be more comfortable with technology!  I was surprised how easy it was to set this blog up.  In just a few minutes, everything was done.  I was a little anxious at first, but then I was quite comfortable with it.

The slideshow on lifelong learning was something I was much more comfortable with since I have been in school constantly for the last 20 years.  Learning and education are more natural to me than most things in life.  However, I still struggle with some things.  The habit I have the most trouble with is habit 3.  I get frustrated easily and since I am so detail oriented I get bogged down and buried in work easily.  While at Murray State pursuing my Master's degree in history, this was a huge problem because of the heavy workload.  Making it through that program did a lot to show me that I can achieve what I set my mind too. I still struggle with seeing problems as challenges and not getting aggravated though.

The easiest habit for me is habit one.  I am a very goal oriented person; thus, I always keep the end result in mind, rather it be a good grade in a course, obtaining a degree, or even just learning something new for fun.
