Blog Review

This Blog review assignment was a bit of a challenge and often frustrating.  I first went to the Blog listed above my name (http://wouj.blogspot.com/) and I reviewed and commented on the Module 2 post.  Then I realized that was not the post to comment on and the posts I did need to review were not there.  So as the directions stated I picked another Blog to review.  Here, http://www.chelseareneeartjourney.blogspot.com/2014/02/https500.html,  I was able to find Project #1 using Photobucket.  I read her Blog and reviewed her Photobucket slideshow.  It was well done with each photo explained.  Unfortunately, Project 2 with the Art visit Blog was not done.  Off I searched to another Blog.  I finally found a really interesting Blog (http://cofagrigus.blogspot.com/2014/02/project-1-elements-and-principles.html)  with both projects complete, for the most part.  The trouble now is when I went back to this Blog my comments for project #1 were not there and I had to respond again.  Low and behold when I responded again, my first post was there!!  I tried to find another Blog with both project done.  Success!  http://ginaisart.blogspot.com/?view=flipcard  My posts were there, however as it appeared twice I deleted one (I thought).  It deleted my post and I had to redo.  So now my posts are either there twice the same, twice different or showing up as deleted!

In all honesty, I feel the requirements for this class may be a bit much and overwhelming for many of us.  I realize it is a college online course worth 3 credits and therefore the workload will not be light.  However, I have taken close to a dozen online courses and in class courses.  The time I spend on this course, which is not in my major, takes up more time than all other courses combined. I work full time, take classes full time, parent three teens, help run volleyball and gymnastics teams, teach Sunday School and chair a Nursery School Board among other things.  I know these are my choices but my point is that I have completed all my assignments.  This project took me longer to complete due to others lack of completing assignments.  I also feel that I have been unable to put the best effort into this course as I am just trying to get it all done. I don't get to edit and proof read to the extent that I would like ( please pardon my errors) or add extras like I prefer to do.  I don't feel I'm doing my top quality work.

I hope my honesty is not held against me.  I may be feeling a bit stressed as I had to miss a book club with friends today and virtually ignored my children and husband while working on Module 6 all day, literally.  I'm done for now and free to read my book, assigned of course, for another class.

Me right now, maybe ice cream will help!!
