3rd Summer Journal

This week I have been tired, I think my iron is low(I
have had low blood for forever). This has caused me to
really struggle this week with initating assignments.
This week assignments included: subsrcirbing to a
professonial mailing list, searching for our last name
and our topic using 3 different search engines, looking
over some extra research info, developing a prompt and
answering it, a learning highlights assignment, reading
instructions for our MRP, make our webliography, compose
foundation questions and a journal.

Well I have completed a lot of the assignments this week
(to my suprize). First I want to discuss the mailing
list assignment, I really felt good subscribing to a
list where I can exchange information about
international communication with professional-- I think I will learn a lot. I had a little diffculty
subscribing, because the address listed did not working so,
it routed me to the new one. I learned that the command
you have to enter differs from mailing list to mailing
list. For the one I joined I had to type in join
international communication instead of subscribe, but I learn quickly so
there wasn't to big of a problem. I think I am getting
better at troubleshooting mistakes or problems I
have...my confidence is building(smiling). I tell you what, no amount of confidence could have prepared me for the
search on my topic, it took me literally hours to do that
thing and we haven't really even started the project yet! And to top the time a put into it I didn't get that much info. My bubble was cruelly burst, I think I may have to rethink my EQ. I didn't know that there were so many search engines
available. Question:a search engine like google or
profusion is different from a browser like att or aol
right? Why is that, when you can look -up stuff on both? What is lycos considered to be?

The last thing I want to comment on is the MOO
everyone's help was greatly appreciated. I hated
disconnecting so many times, I really am thing of
getting a cable modem , but I am concerned about having to switcheverthing over during the middle of class--
suggestions? I have been reminded that I have to be a quick
thinker this week and be ready for the unexpected ( truly this week has been full of suprizes). I
also underestimated the difficulty I might experience while completing my research project ( i need to have a back-up plan).
