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.
