Computer Down....

FYI to all my readers (and my professor and classmates!) My computer is down! I have gotten the dreaded blue screen everybody hates! I will have to find somewhere here in Germany to get my computer fixed and it may take some time! I have the library as my only resource, which only allows me an hour on the internet, and my Twitter account is blocked from the library computer so I also cannot update my Twitter account. I am very dissapointed because if you know me, you know how much I depend on my computer on a daily basis. This will also make it a challenge to finish this class, but I am determined to keep that 4.0 GPA! I guess I will be spending my life at the library the next few weeks!

So Neglectful

I have to apologize to all of my readers. I have had so much going on in the past two week I seemed to have forgotten about my blog! Okay, I admit I didn't forget, I have logged on and thought that I need more time, and that I would post later. Here we are two weeks later and I am finally getting around to it.

Much of the business is due to the holiday "rush", which for me does not consist of shopping this year...Yay! It does however consist of knitting ornaments and alot of them! I have enjoyed doing these little crafts because it is a source of instant satisfaction, but some have been more instant than others. The other thing I have been doing is baking.....yes, baking. I am not a big baker, but I figure I have the time, and I won't be getting my Mother's or Grandmothers cookies this year. And I have alot more I plan to make before the season is through.

Another thing that has sidetracked me? Working out, and that feels so good to say! I have really created a routine for myself which I have attempted to do some many times in the past few years. I enjoy working out now so I must have found my so called "thing". I am proud to say that I have lost 10 lbs since I have moved to Germany. My goal is to lose 25 so I am almost half way there! There is nothing like the feeling when you put on a shirt and it looks 10xs better than the last time you put it on!

I have also been sidetracked by school. I feel like I spend so much time on my school work for this class, but then I realize that perusing Facebook for 2 hours isn't technically schoolwork (although it was an assignment to create your own Facebook account!) Due to this class, I have created my own Ning network, and PBWorks wiki page. They both are not fully complete. I really like the Ning network I have created. Instead of creating a hypothetical Ning network for this class, I decided to create a Ning network that I will attempt to keep going as long as needed, about Educational Technology. Of course this will only work if I have members so if you are an educator interested in learning more about Ed-tech or sharing what you know visit at http://technologyisgreat.ning.com
