Week Two - Thing #4

I registered my blog with Region 1. It all feels official now. And...I am back on track with the 23 Things schedule.

Week Two - Thing #3

Setting up the blog was fun. Finding a title that wasn't already being used was not that easy. I felt very uncreative until I decided to combine my love of coffee with a library theme - not really a stretch since my library sells lattes as a fund raiser. And there's that whole Barnes & Noble thing with Starbucks.
My family got involved in selecting my avatar. I had no idea that they considered me a blonde. Yahoo doesn't really have a color to match my hair or a person who reflects my age. I guess I will have to settle for young and perky. Would that count as using technology to my advantage or viewing a problem as a challenge?

Week One - Thing #2

The 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners are practical, inspiring, and challenging. I am a life long learner by nature so I found myself agreeing with what I read. The easiest habit for me to accomplish is habit 2: accepting responsibility for my own learning. I always have. I love taking classes and studying. The most difficult habit would be a tie between habit 3: viewing problems as challenges and habit 7 1/2: play. I tend to worry about all I need to do and not take time to play. Viewing problems as challenges would be a step in the direction of being less serious and taking time to play.
I downloaded the learning contract to work on these two "problem" habits.

Week One - Thing #1

I read the Region 1 blog in preparation for this adventure. I determine not to fall behind in the assignments; however, it's week two and I am just completing week one so I will have to be more disciplined. These are topics that I have wanted to study so motivation should come easy once I get started.
