Web 2.0 week 2

So it appears that life in this class is slowing down a bit. I have been introduced to a lot of new terminology that I have had to look up. I have found I don't know have the acronyms people use in their posting, but I am catching up.

So far this class is much more social than the other class I am taking. I like that. It is great to share ideas and ask questions, everyone is pretty quick to add a suggestion or guide me in the right direction.

Outside of class this week has been a little crazy. It seems most of my co-workers have taken a cranky pill or something. It made the week very long. It also didn't help that none of them seemed to know what to do about the impending weather that was going to happen this week. Which did of course happen, causing opening night of my fiance's show to get cancelled.

Hope everyone else is surviving their second week of classes.

Thanks for stopping by.

First Impressions

So, I have never blogged before and hopefully I won't say anything embarrassing or stupid throughout this process.

This first posting is to be about my impression of the class during the first week. I can start by saying that in the first three days I was so overwhelmed I thought about dropping the class. Everyone was posting so much stuff and I felt I had nothing to contribute other than asking questions about what were they talking about. People were using terms and talking about programs I have never heard of and the few programs I had heard of I didn't know enough about to chime in.

So, I actually posted something on my other class's site saying I was a bit unsure of this class and another classmate sent me an email to share her experience when she took this class. She didn't give anything away, but gave me enough information to realize there was some method to the madness and that if I stick with it, I will get a lot out of this class.

I just have to remind myself that one of the reasons I am in this program is to learn something new and break out of my little world. So bear with me, I may seem dazed and confused, but I will be along for the ride.
