Finishing Touches

Working on this website is exhausting! You know I was thinking the other day, when I took Dr. Gilbert's Tech Tools class over one semester, I found it incredibly challenging (and I learned a lot!). My present classmates are having to squish everything from that course into THREE WEEKS!! I just can't even imagine....I think my head would explode! I guess that's why they call this an "intensive" right? Well I still managed to learn some new things during these three weeks that I hadn't known before: what is a podcast, how to use FETCH, how to save a word doc as a webpage and post it on your website, and most of all, how great it feels to help others work through their HTML hardships. I have to admit that I've genuinely enjoyed watching my classmates' eyes light up as I explained something new to them one-on-one that they hadn't known or a little "tip" to make things easier. I found that I really enjoyed helping them and realized how much I actually know about this stuff! Since our course was compressed into three weeks, our class formed sort of a little family. We could all have welcome conversations with one another-laughing and chatting like old friends. It was indeed something special.

I keep working on the rest of my webpage and it's taking me awhile to fine-tune. I found that I couldn't quite get my resume to post right. There was always something wrong with the alignment at the top of the page. Any suggestions? Next project-create my podcast page and prepare for the presentation tomorrow.....


Working with Kim and Edgar has proven to be incredibly informative and fun! They have so many great ideas and I know a lot more about opera and hip-hop than I did before! I never thought opera and hip-hop had so much in common!
