Thursday

I wasn't sure about today from the time I woke up...at 5:00 am!!! Why so early, you ask?? A great question that I can't answer. I just woke up! Trying to make the best of limited time, I decided I might as well get up and get my workout over with. All was well until I realized, while on the treadmill, that I never turned the alarm off. I then had to end my workout early to head back to the hotel and shut off the alarm before I upset other people. In short....little sleep....little workout. I was just hoping that all my bad luck was done for the day!

Morning class was great. I really do love learning about all the fun "stuff" to do on the computer. It's great that it is not only learning for my profession, but just valuable life knowledge. My brother, the IT guy, would be so excited to hear me say that I am actually enjoying technology! He usually only hears my frustrations as he is helping me troubleshoot across 10 states! I was most excited about Audacity. It is something that I have heard our tech ed specialist talk about so I know she will be more than willing to help me when I get back to the trenches!

We received more helpful hints for dissertation. This time it was about SharePoint. Again, I know I still have quite some time before I go through the process, but I am feeling so prepared and ahead of the learning curve. I am also exited to share it with my friend, Brandy, who is just beginning her dissertation! She has helped me so much so it will be nice to repay the favor!

The one thing I learned this afternoon for sure is Dr. Dunn is a patient man! There were all sorts of tech glitches and his calm manner just soothed things over. I did enjoy the technology this afternoon. So happy that photo story is so easy! Without a doubt, I will use that for instruction.

Looking forward to presentations tomorrow...and of course the opportunity to rest a bit!
