Very Cloudy with Chances of Rain

We're all here at the library trying to figure out how to complete cloud tagging. Many are experiencing problems locating an RSS feed for delicious and connotea. Some have successfully found a feed but are unable to view the customize feature of the clouds imported in blog. So we're going back and forth in an attempt to complete these clouds. Patience is wearing thin because there is also built up anxiety about the book review that is also due within a few days.

Things are gloomy and all are stressed as the days begin to close in on us. The race is on and everything still seems to be cloudy.

We still have a long way to go and neither of us are close to finishing.

Grieving

Today is not one of my better days. My family and I are currently dealing with the unjustifiable lost of my brother. I'm unable to concentrate and am feeling a little confused at this time. I have to get myself in gear for reviewing the books assigned for the end of this week.


All I can do at this point is pray for strength and understanding.

Vacation

I am jumping for joy now because I just began my two weeks vacation. Hopefully this will allow me enough time to really accomplish many of the assigned tasks for the courses. I usually do my best work before sun down so staying home would allow me a solid block of time to prepare and complete the lessons.

Request for Luck

I have been trying everything possible to export Zotero for the past week. I have even given every advice and suggestion a try and am still not getting it accomplished. I must say this one has got me stomped. I only have this weekend to complete the assignment.

Wish me luck.

VI Cohort In St. Thomas

This weekend the Virgin Islands Cohort met on the St. Thomas campus. Members of both islands had an opportunity to meet and greet each other. We also had the experience of sitting in a class session with both Dr. Alman and Dr. Tomer. There presence allowed us to clarify many of the questions and concerns that were lingering about the courses and the program. We all spent two full days together recieving course insructions from both professors and also engaged in three preseantations that were assigned. The sessions were stimulating, informative, and pleasurable.

I thank the St. Thomas group for providing transportation to and from the site. We all are looking forward to the next meeting in the fall.

No Rest for the Weary

Well, I have been at this importing and exporting task for over 12 hours and am very frustrated at this point. I have only gotten 3 hours of sleep and was up again at 5:00 am. trying to complete the assignment. Yeah , yeah, I know it's due next week, but so is everything else.

Discussion Board

Over the last few weeks, I have come to rely heavily on the discussion board for clarifications on any given assignment or topic. I realized that many of my classmates are experiencing some of the same technical problems as I do and have asked the same questions.

My hat goes off to those classmates who have been very helpful in their response. Many have provided vital information needed to complete certain tasks.

Collaboration is one of the keys to success.

Thanks to all.

Meeting with the Heads

This weekend the Virgin Islands Cohort will be meeting with the professors. I think we're all a little anxious but we're prepared to go all day as planned. I wish we all meet Debbie Day since we've had to communicate with her often. Sorry Deb. Perhaps next time.

Tackling Assignments

I am now realizing I must approach these courses one assignment at a time. This week has been extremely demanding. There are so many different things to keep track of. This week I made up my mind to tackle the assignments that could be done within 24 hours. So far it's working.
Let's see what happens next week.

Exporting issues

Ok. I'm loosing my mind here. I did everything I needed to for exporting connotea and it's not working.

What in the world am I doing wrong?

Online Conference

It's amazing how technology has evolved. Sunday night I had an opportunity to participate in an online video conference. Although those of us who participated in the Virgin Islands were unable to be heard, I thought the process was interesting. I hope that all the kinks or problems that we were all experiencing are corrected soon. I look forward to having a smooth internet video conference the next time we meet.

Fast Track

Well, another week has passed and I am exhausted. This train (MLIS FastTrack) seems to be moving at lightning speed and I am trying my very best to keep up. It's not easy. As a matter of fact I have lost one pound so far. No telling what will happen in the weeks to come.
