Challenges

This week has been full of challenges, both to my perceptions and to my sense of being. Actual school work has been fine. I wish all I had to do was read for classes, so that I could then just blab on and on about whatever it is that we all agree is important about which to speak. Alas, alack, it is not thus. This Sunday past was October 10, 2010. More to the point, it was the day of the
One Day on Earth project, and they chose 10.10.10 for the sake of symmetry and perhaps as an mnemonic device.
We went out to shoot footage, and we wanted to talk to people about how they used their language, but no one was very communicative. It was a bust, frankly, so I was frustrated.
Then, Tuesday, one thing after another conspired to make my day completely enervating, and when we were in class for 418, I started to panic, because I am not very good at using technology. I am actually surprized that I can even use blogspot, despite the fact that it is easy enough that young children have no problem with the medium. But, I swallowed back the bile, and started to think rationally, and watched the tutorial on window's movie maker, and made a storyboard for the film, and with any luck we can do some good work tomorrow. I just hope this all pans out, because I am now, and forever will be as long as I take classes, anxious about my grades.
That's why I like papers so much, because I get how to write them. Some people don't, and they panic about that. Can I do the same about technology?
