Persevering....

I'm finding it sooo hard to get a chunk of time long enough to really focus & get my teeth stuck into what I need to do for this course......I easily get a 10 or 15 min slot when the kids are entertained but it's short lived. At night, I've got my own JNI lecturing & posts to do & need time out too with my husband & often I'm just too exhausted to concentrate on the material we're asked to.

The good news is that I am feeling a little more confident with using different tools within the portal like reports & viewing activity levels etc.....so that's a plus.

In honesty, I'm still thinking it's more than 90mins /week......by the time you focus, read all the references, plan your response, execute it etc.....its probably two'ish but maybe I'll still get snappier.

Glad to hear that Sadia & Margaret also felt it was taking them a while longer than anticipated. Was thinking it was just me being slow with the technical stuff & requirements but felt better when they reported they were feeling the same.

Thanks god for Barbie movies.....they're engrossed in one now so I've been able to pay some bills, do this post, & respond to students.....thanx Barbie.....I never would have thought I'd be thinking of you favourably but there you go!!!

Week One is almost over & out

Well.....it's been a shocker of a week.....the worst flu I've had in years......I teased Ari last week for having this & being so precious...boy that wasn't fair.....note to self...apologise to Ari as this is an awful flu...he wasn't being precious...he was sick.

I took a few days off work so I could rest & so I had some extra time to get into the THINK course......at this stage I'm thinking that the demands will take more than an hour & a half per week but I'm sure I'll get snappier as I go.

So far so good....I'm ahead of schedule......have done all I'm supposed to & still here.....

It's the tech stuff I'm going to struggle with but hopefully this course will give me some confidence in this area.....

So far, everyone's been super helpful & I have no complaints.

Writing a blog is actually a relaxing & enjoyable thing to do.....

Was thinking before, it's not a bad idea to start another blog...to do with my mothering role of the girls......so one day when they're much older they could look at it if they choose......some kind of legacy.....

Need more hours in the day to do all that.....but I like the idea....

More later.....taking this sore chest to bed.....
