Wiki Woman

I have felt so guilty. My last post was a declaration of love for blogging and then I turned my back on this friend and took up with a wiki!! Can one have two passions and be fair to both…torn between two lovers! Okay, I’m going a bit overboard here, but I’m having some fun. I’ve had a great week. I am an educational consultant and that, as you can imagine, is an up and down world…well at least for me. Well, everything for me is up and down. I get  joy out of the simplest of “things” but the tinest of hurts can cause me pain, too. Back to the point….I have developed a “wiki workshop” and I gave it for the first time this week…and it was great! I really got a group of English teachers sold on the wiki and more than that, gave them some “food for thought” about how to use that wickedpedia for educational purposes. I’m speaking tongue in cheek; I hope you can see the smile in my words.

 I am also sympathizing with students right now…I have a pretend assignment from a professor in doctoral program…I am writing a “pretend” grant proposal…only about 40 pages!! Why or who has anyone do anything anymore that they don’t have any use for? Sometimes the process is enjoyable, but I should have written the “some” part of the word in subscript…if you get what I mean. No exaggeration, yesterday I worked on that paper at the computer for sixteen hours and I’m still not done. Today I took a bike ride, and then I took a drive, and then I bought groceries…are you catching the theme–avoidance. But here I am tonight, back at it.  Well, only for a couple of hours. If I am going to pretend, I should be doing that in Second Life, which is a place I have never been, well, not on the computer!!!

I’m getting silly now, so I better go. No words of wisdom; no educational sites to visit; no accolades to other bloggers or techies–just blathering about what makes life pleasureable…just letting my words spill out because they can’t stay locked up anymore.
