Week 3? Madre de dios!

I am almost to the point of flabergastion that we have entered into week three. Besides feeling that I am never going to have a handle on things in any of my classes, I also feel that I never am going to have the time to do something as simple and fun as going to the movies.

Had a nice enough Memorial Day although by the time we had finished eating, and my boyfriend had set up his father's new router, it was already after 5 pm by the time we got home. Wanted to get caught up with a ton of stuff but totally do not see that happening.

So, I just finished adding everyone's RSS feeds for their blogs (well everyone's links that actually worked) into Google Reader. What a tedious task. SO with assignment number two for the class done and submitted, already looking ahead to the next one. Although I am familiar with WorldCat and used it before to look up certain items, I have never exorted things before. In print, it doesn't seem like that terrible or long of an assignment; however, I am not going to approach it as naively I did the last one, when I thought the whole scopus/refworks work could be done in two hours tops. HA! I already know for certain that I am going to need to look up a definition for RIS. At times I am truly envious of today's youth-this is all content and information that is second nature to them. I can see why at times my 84 year old grandfather is so lost in the whole world of technology and computers. Learning technological concepts from scratch can actually be difficult whether you're a reasonably intelligent 23 year old (in the case of myself) or someone that lived through the Great Depression.

Speaking of World Cat, I was on it last night for an assignment in another class. Sometimes I loathe having to do searches, especially with such specific search delimiters you need to set. I think I will end here since I need to read the last chapter for week two's reading. I do not want to get any more behind. I believe it is data output-que divertido! Although I will admit it is nice knowing what is considered input data, what is output data. Now I don't feel as out of at times around my boyfriend's techie coworkers.

Adios a toda le gente. Y feliz dia de memoria.
