Wonders will never cease!

I have finally managed to publish my website. Here it is and I have also put the link on my Wiki: http://students.ed.qut.edu.au/n0289868/cln618/
I had an interesting time on the journey from start to finish and without all those nice people who helped me along the way, I would not have even got off the ground. I even managed to lassoo Masha and Yvonne when they were passing by in the Library, and thank you so much for your help. I have collared Annetta to give me feedback and I am looking for one other daring soul . I am breathing a short sigh of relief before before I start Grammar on the 6th.

Last Goodbye?



This week, my daughter and I said our final goodbyes to the family dog, Buddy. He was sixteen and I have difficulty recalling life in the household without him. He was alpha dog, and boss of the household - a loose cannon. I will miss him. I am devestated, but soldier on I must, as three pieces of assessment are due on Friday.

Incommunicardo!

I haven't been around much so I've missed you all. I have been having a research fling with Eric doing the final assignment for Methodology. I didn't think a database could be so engaging. I'm almost there and hope it is cut out of the right cloth. Meanwhile, I'm now back to Technology so I am sure much fun is yet to be had. I've been preparing the activities in Word so far and haven't yet hit the Hot Potatoes site or joined in the fun of Dreamweaver. It will be back to Eric to research the theory, as that is quite a good educational data base. Also, I must remember to to read that nifty little book we all bought. Cia bella!

"A Rose by any other name"



Hot potatoes are all around me so I shouldn't be waxing lyrical and thinking about Shakepeare's "Romeo and Juliet", but this time last year I was in Verona looking up onto Juliet's balcony and how things change in a short time. I am now swamped with assignments due and the Semester coming to a close. I even managed not to heed the Jacarandas' early bloom. When those purple flowers bloom, it means to stop living and start studying. The Website task preoccupies my mental energy, but I somehow managed to not do very much. It was reassuring to chat to Nilly who is quite savvy with these sorts of things.
