This week seemed to go fairly well: I stayed ahead in most of my classes, was on top of homework assignments, and didn't have any major hiccups in getting babysitters organized and getting myself to class. The difficulty was with this class.... I find myself putting in nearly double the suggested time for each post required for the Orientation Week! I kept clicking over to interesting side jaunts in the large Wiki World, and, well, everything just took so much longer! This was most likely compounded by the fact that:
- I was intimidated to create a blog
- I was intimidated to have a blog
- I was intimidated to keep making posts to a blog
But, I did it! Tech-savvy-less me be damned, I got started! Somehow, I managed to also stay on top of the assignments, though Wednesday was a little hairy. Now that we're settling into the reading schedules, I am enjoying it so much more. I can do reading, I know reading, reading is my home. Making blog posts about the reading? I'm not yet in the comfort zone with that, but I am getting there.
Resolutions:
I'm looking forward to watching Sita Sings the Blues later on in this course, as the style of it immediately draws me in. Which reminds me, that for now, I'm excited to be flying through the Ramayana. I've not actually read through the Ramayana or the Mahabharata (for shame!), and I am incredibly excited to be able to mark those down as read after this semester is over. I just want to take a minute to point out how incredibly soothing it is to listen to the readings through Sound Cloud.... simply click, and hear the words pour over you, relax, and say "Aaaaahhhhhh...." It's such a good way to go through the course (so far!)
