Tell us a little about yourself and your interest in the course you're taking.: I have successfully avoided this class for a year and a half. As a transfer student, I began this course my first semester and promptly dropped it hoping to have more time to devote to the work later. I would like to know more about establishing a web identity and using that identity to network, but feel a little intimidated by the technology.
>>> 1/20/09 hahaa! dropped this class last semester trying to avoid it further.

What are your reading and writing habits? (i.e. what do you like to write and read?): I am reading this book right now called Survival of the Sickest. I don't remember the author off the top of my head but it's really good. It's about how genetic diseases of today, like diabetes, may have helped our ancestors survive in the past, possibly explaining why those diseases have continued to float in our gene pool.
As far as writing is concerned, I have made a concerted effort this summer to write more and actually go back and revise my work. Many people already know that I'm going through a possible divorce (my husband has his own place but we still do lunch) so I've been using this experience to help my writing and I've been using my writing to help me with this experience.
So, I have been keeping a journal this summer and writing some poetry, both as a form of therapy.

>>>1/20/09 this is kind of funny too because I still haven't finished that book.

How would you describe your general attitude toward computers and related technology?: Comfortable but not super excited

Do you have a high-speed internet connection (e.g. cable, dsl, etc.)?: yes

Do you have access to a webcam and a microphone for your computer?: don't know

What "Web 2.0" websites do you use?: Facebook, My Space, YouTube

I guess i like Twitter. It's a nice way to know what people are doing but so is Facebook. I love my Facebook!!! I check that every day. I don't know how people can possibly keep track of all these different ways to network. Twitter is pretty short and to the point, though. I guess there's no reason why I can't find the time to let people know what I'm doing. On the other hand, though, who really cares what I'm doing right now? I mean, until I have first existential meltdown of the semester, my l… Continue

Need life coach

Man, i was just thinking how cool it would be to have a life coach. It would be awesome to have someone to follow me around and tell me what to do. The best part about this thought is that i hate when people tell me what to do. I never likes my parents doing it and my husband knows better by now. when i find someone is trying to "life coach" me, i go on the offensive and begin to find them overbearing. for some reason, though, i think if i had a professional (whom i had to pay) i would listen. s… Continue
