Comming together....slowly

It has been a long weekend. Friday's class I left a little confused as to how I was suppose to put all of the things my instructor wanted together into one project. I let it whirl around in my head, went to bed when I got home and started my weekend of three 12hour night shifts at the hospital. They were, as usual, three long nights. I left work this am and headed to class for another go around.

My instructor gave me some one on one instruction/explanations and everything is coming together in my head. I have some ideas for my personal page, and the brochure. My instructor said be creative...I hope she is ready for that. lol

I am very proud of myself, and feeling a little excited to be creating something that just a couple months ago was a far fetched out of this world concept for me. It has come down to my realm of understanding. I thank my instructor immensely, there is no way to explain how this knowledge has helped me in life and will help me in my future employment. It brings me to even ground with my competitor. So many small things my instructor didn't even know I needed to be taught has come from this course. I didn't know how to open inside a document, or even save a document to various places on the computer, I didn't even know how to open a new tab before this class began. I now know two ways to open a new tab. I now complete my charting at work in half the time it use to take me. So again I thank my instructor. I also thank my classmate, and she knows who she is, for never losing patience with me when I ask the simple minded questions.

Maybe this crazy idea of going back to school at my age was not as crazy as it felt at first...maybe.
