I guess some things aren't transferrable in blogs. :(

I so need a summer break

It's that time again. Work, study, heat are catching up and slowing me down. I think I will appreciate the summer break more for catching up and re-organizing.

On the upside: Things are looking good for my trip to the CEA convention in Little Rock, Aka.

Looking forward to seeing other blogs, since I am not a real good blogger I'll probably learn a great deal. Well, onward and upward.

FFIO(Finally Figured It Out)

Maybe I'm just dense...or overworked...or tired...or none of the above.

Here is my second issue blog for a course that I am sure I will like a lot! Getting into blogging is not as difficult as I thought. It's not quite like facebook - which I'm not fond of due to the gossipy chatty nature of that "beast". I love my friends and family, but how in the world do they find the time to sit and chat?

I guess I'm looking at things like facebook and twitter and tweet, etc. as entertainment, and blogging as utilitarian communication. I am such a bore :p

Anyway, I hope to see my fellow classmates here - often, and I hope not to bore anyone with tales of Bosco (my dog) and Sadie (my cat) and George (my husband). However, they do make interesting reading!
