Research Journal Part 10: Create a Web Page

http://letteraday.org/students/wmcelroy.html

OK a paragraph where I summarize this experience.  Well lets see.  It took all weekend to get my soon to be ex-wife to let me use the computer so I could at least attempt to do this assignment.  Since she knows my homework was due Sunday she wouldn't let me do this until Monday.  Did I mention where she threatened to call the police and tell them I stole "her" car if I left and tried to go to the library and do this assignment? Since the car is in her name, since the bank wont let us put my name on the title until the loan is paid off, and I didn't relish spending time in the local lockup, I get to do this late. So lets recap the whole term.  My grandmother passes away at the end of April.  I have to arrange to take care of Grandpa, an Alzheimer's patient, because Grandma was his care giver.  I have to damn near browbeat my Father,  their son, to come out here and take care of his parents so I can go to work and school. Once all that gets straightened out, my wife leaves me for her unemployed cable installer "friend," and now I'm working not two but three jobs (one full time and two part time) to try to keep afloat.   As far as the webpage was concerned, it was simple cut and paste, reminiscent of the days of MySpace, and about as interesting as it was back then.
Some parts of this class were fun and informative, some where refreshers, and some I really disliked.

All in all, it was an experience......

  1. Hi, William:

    I can see given your full plate that the course topic doesn't exactly hold your interest. Thank you for completing the assignment. It was a final exercise is understanding how information gets on the Internet, so reader beware...

    The class was about internet research and online living so technology plays a large role in that. You have my empathy for the tough time you are having personally and my appreciation for taking the time to complete the course work. You should easily be able to get a C out of this class, if you are able to complete your final, that would probably be a B. Please don't consider it a waste of time.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
