On the road again

I went to my study group yesterday....mostly to cry. But, thank you Susanne and Karen, you've encouraged me to start over. I will just do the best I can to create something between now and Saturday when all projects are due and hope for the best. Just as in life and mental health, I will try to control the things I am capable of controlling and accept the things that are beyond my control. This translates to accepting that I started this process at a novice level and have grown by leaps and bounds, just not to the level of my peers. I have been challenged not only by my learning style but 3 broken computers and now worst of all, by my having deleted my project. Of course, as I try to recreate my wiki, I am having to learn the steps all over again, as if I had never created it the first time. Perhaps if I succeed, the redundancy will increase the potential for my retaining my learning. I am proud of myself, that after wikispaces has told me that they could not retrieve my info, that I have not thrown my computer out the window, that I am back to trying to create pages, links and pictures. Whether I succeed or not in the long run, I have had personal success as I haven't thrown in the towel and am going to grin and bear it, producing a product for my professional use. My comfort with technology has increased exponentially and I know that with time and effort (and luck for my equipment staying healthy), I can create things that I previously thought were beyond my realm.
