Thing 3

Yes, I made it!!!! This has been a very frustrating experience to set up this blog and get this process started. I've been trying to sit down and get to work for almost an entire week but have been interupted countless times, gone to a myriad of meetings, and asked to do numerous unrelated tasks. Finally, it is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Yippee!

I also found this process frustrating because I had to read all of this info, then go back, start the blog, then go back and create the avatar, and then do two blog entries. I still don't have the time correct, so I'll have to figure out how to do that. I have a have dozen tabs all opened up, two powerpoints, and I've created three different accounts with different usernames and passwords. I'll have to have a scorecard to keep up. GRRRRRRR!!!!!

Anxious to see the next step!

Thing 2

Of the 7 1/2 Habits, I think the most difficult for me is number 3: to view problems as challenges. I tell myself that problems or setbacks are challenges in disguise, but I don't necessarily believe it. Yes, I understand on a cognitive level that one probably learns more from challenges, however, I prefer not to have them.

Naturally, since I am an educator and librarian, I feel more confident in Habit 7: Teach/mentor others. When I'm excited about something new I've learned, I can't wait to show someone else.
