This week has been a challenge. After the WebX meeting on Tuesday, I felt like I had a good grasp for how I was going to collect the data. When I finally did begin to write the three parts of my paper, I began to feel overwhelmed, lost, and extremely frustrated. I spent 4 hours working on it Friday night and I hate to say that I ended the night in tears because of my frustration. On Saturday I pulled myself together with the help of Lee commenting on my blog and letting me know that this is the process and that I was doing fine. I also read several people’s papers and got a better idea of what was expected of me.
Another frustration to me is the Livetext website. I don’t really like it and don’t think that it is user friendly. I am usually very good with technology and apps, but I just don’t like this one.
I have spent a lot of time this week tweeting and e-mailing with others from the class. We have begun sharing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing our frustrations. It does make me feel better to know that I am not alone in these feelings and we have been working together to figure things out.
Next week I will try and start my assignments earlier. I said that last week, but I wasn’t able to. I do have a good idea of what I am going to do for my data collection and I am looking forward to starting that process.
