I submitted my first assignment, and wrote my midterm, for Medical Terminology. To no one's surprise, except to me, I did well. I go through this process with every course, and can safely narrow it down to five processes. However, I want to skip over number one. (You'll see why.) 1. Panic and Stress Out … Continue reading Fatima’s Five Thoughts During Any New Course

Music Monday: Two ‘Pressure’-Themed Songs
At ten past the hour, I would get up from the front desk at school, and do a head count. Sometimes someone else does the headcount, leaving me to get up to move around to push in chairs. It's a way not to stiffen my back, and keep things moving. I leave the students alone, … Continue reading Music Monday: Two ‘Pressure’-Themed Songs
The New Saga: From Computer Language To The Language of Medicine
After my Web Development course, I debated either taking Photoshop or the HTML/XHTML course. I also debated taking nothing, or taking another acting class. What's a life-long learner to do?

I learned a lot from my course, and I just learned the biggest lesson of them all: take something you enjoy.

The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
Post writing in WordPress has two options: I create using visual most of the time. I started to notice the code in HTML mode as I embedded rdio tracks or Youtube. I already had images, or other such items, and I noticed the coding arrangement. Beyond paragraphing, bold, and italics, plus some headers, codes for … Continue reading The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
A Coding I Will Go, A Coding I Will Go, Hi-Ho the Merry-O
I wrote about crossing my fingers for a spot in a Web Design introductory course. I can uncross the digits as I got the call saying they have a spot. It's a good deal: Work pays while I wait for a spot after students register. It's a fair exchange. I will have my coding skills … Continue reading A Coding I Will Go, A Coding I Will Go, Hi-Ho the Merry-O
