Starting somewhere

OK- well the semester has officially kicked off!! In addition to the numerous other challenges of a web-based graduate program, I find out we have to blog. Everyone keeps telling me that with all this you just have to start somewhere...so be it.
I'm an ecclectic reader who has never been a fan of textbooks though I'll read and ejoy almost any other nonfiction material. I'm discovering just how inept and unversed (?) I am in techno-speak. I can tell this program is going to be extremely difficult for me just by looking at my course syllabi. I've already gotten frustrated by the sheer volume and magnitude of software to be downloaded or installed as well as the number of accounts to be set up...
Well- OK. Not a very auspicious beginning, but it's done. Sort of. I just hope we're not to maintain this for the duration of the program!

Nope, not enthused at all, are ya? It'll get better. It's supposed to be fun, right?

I can't imagine starting back to school!

Okay this is unfair... Your blog is a lot nicer than mine. Perhaps I need to get more interests or become interesting.

from your profile: "I'm interested in a lot of various things but am not usually engaged by one for long..." this is similar to how I would describe myself, too! I call it being "catbrained" (in the most loving of ways -- I adore my 2 catbrained feline children and all other catbrains [felines] as well). although in my/our defense, over the course of time I do see myself being "engaged" in the same things on a macro level, just in different micro-level ways... (hmmmm, it doesn't sound too convincing when I type it out...) :) nice to meet you. :)
