Thing #3

Well, I decided to create the blog. I can see the value of blogs in educational settings, but there are very few blogs I really like. So I keep thinking, "Wow, I'm sure glad I retired before I had to learn to do all this stuff." Then I decided to do it. Well, I was in the middle of creating the blog when the electricity went out in our house. I had done enough that my blog was saved, but when I got back on the site I was really confused about where I was in the process and what I needed to do. I think this may be a sign that I'm not supposed to do this. Now I'm going to see about creating the avatar and registering the blog at Library2Play. Then I really have to quit!

Thing #2

The 7-1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners - Well, the habit that's hardest for me is the first one - begin with an end in mind. I never want to commit myself. If I have a goal I'm supposed to be committed to finish. In this case, I don't know if I want to commit the time. Or if I really want to be a lifelong learner. The habit that is easiest for me is to be responsible for my own learning. If I really decide to commit, then I'll probably spend way too much time figuring something out. And that's one reason I'm not sure I want to do this.

Thing #1

I read this about 6 times, trying to decide if I really want to do this. Do I really want to learn about what I'd be doing if I weren't retired? Not sure. Will I finish this? Not sure.
