Lab Hours 2/23/10

Today is my daughter, Madeline's 1st birthday, and since my hospital stay and her birthday party this past weekend, I have been very far behind in all of my classes. This has left me up very late tonight to complete my reading, updates to my blog page and completion of the quiz. I spent 3 hours reading, adding to my blog page, reviewing pics in Dr. Castaneda's pictures, and taking the quiz. I also spent a total of 2 hours this week looking at other people's blog pages (and being jealous of how nice they are) as well as spending 1 hour searching for my artifacts in the museum with Dr. Castaneda. We found my beaded pouch, but was unable to find my basket after 2 attempts. I did note that she was able to later find it, and photograph it at a later date this week. I added the entire class' blog pages to follow on my page, and I downloaded the RSS feed that was suggested, but don't have a clue how to use it ( perhaps someone who is computer literate can assist me with this part). I downloaded pics of my artifacts, and chose Team 4 for assignments. Hopefully I can catch back up this weekend (but we have friends staying with us Sat, so not likely). Say a prayer for me....

Total time: 6 hours

Home Sick

I missed class on Wednesday because I have a horrible cough and also a recurring fever. I am surprised that I was able to create this blog without any direction. I feel like a computer geek. I am stuck in bed and my husband has had to stay home with our baby because I am useless. Hopefully I will feel well enough to be at school next week. Good news is I have plenty of time to catch up on my reading when I am not sleeping due to heavy medication.
