I completed one of my first assignments for class today. Mind you, I began this same assignment during the summer months ago. I went looking for what I had started, really believing that I had saved it. Nothing found. I bought my first Mac this year specifically for my journey towards my doctorate. So, I'm still learning how this thing works. When I first bought it (allow me to digress here a bit), they told me I didn't need to buy the Microsoft products, that iWork would open all documents and could save it in any Microsoft format you needed. And they were right. However, they didn't tell me that when I open Word in Pages, the format will be all garbled and that when I reformat it to Pages and save it to be a Word document, everything gets unformatted again. I went back and bought the Microsoft products for Mac. Alls good now.
Back to my assignment. I searched Pages. It wasn't there. I searched Word, not there. I searched my documents. Still not there. As I was typing this, it occurred to me that Mac downloads your documents that you get from the Internet. I went to the download folder......there it was!!! Man! I already re-did the assignment, and actually am more pleased with this one than the first one. I'm laughing at myself and I feel dizziness pass by me on more than one occasion (I have no clue why--all of a sudden everything is swimming around me. I tilt my head the other way to adjust). The smell of lobster macaroni and cheese is floating passed my nose. It's not ready yet, but maybe that's what my body is craving.
Thursday is officially the first virtual class. Research is not my thing. But, I have to be able to get this down to total and complete understanding. I have test due Sunday as well, next Sunday, I think. My plan was to write the first test due before it actually was so I wouldn't procrastinate. But everything that could get in the way has. I'll be double checking to make sure I still have more time than I think. I hope I'm right.
Until next time......
