I need a time turner. Where is Professor McGonagall when you need her?
This week I started a new job (in which it seems I will be responsible for creating a new library/media center for science resources for four school districts starting from square one. I am shopping for software right now.) I am also simultaneously working part-time at my previous job (where I've served as rural library director) helping the Board to seek a new director and trying to tie up loose ends of which there seem to be a multiplying number of.....I am working more than 40 hours, come home to two kids, a husband who is becoming a stranger, mounds of housework and hours and hours of homework. It took me 6 hours to get through assignment 1, though I was eventually successful installing Webmin. In general, it does take me longer to install these things than to complete the exercise the installation was intended for but I suppose that is all part of the learning process as well.....My idea of a relaxing day would be one in which I actually got to read and review all my resources and follow up on links carefully for hours on end without interruptions....uninterrupted study time...what bliss!
Unfortunately, my situation is not so leisurely and instead seems to dictate that I can either finish the assignments on time or complete the readings and that is certainly a precarious situation if one hopes to actually learn something.... I so hope I can wring a bit more time out of the week for reading and reviewing because right now ---even though I got the downloads to run and copied my commands out without typos (finally) there is much in the lecture, and from previous units that is a complete blank for me. As of now, I am following instructions carefully without true overall comprehension.
