Blog reaction paper 1

Today was my first class in Computer Mediated Communication. I am happy to report that I like this class more than I thought I would. When I first had to read the reading assignment I was overwhelmed with all of the information I had taken in. But in class the instructor broke it down in ways that didn't freak me out like I thought it would. I think that computer knowledge comes easy to some people and I am not one of them. I also think that people that it comes easily to don't realize how something so easy to them is really hard for people like me. As of right now I have hope that I may make it through this class. I didn't freak out when Dave ask me to create a blog. Although I still am trying to find ways to make my blog look more "professional" like some of the other blogs I have seen. I am just going to take this class one class at a time and ask lots of questions. If I try to remember everything my syllabus says that I have to do by the end of this class I will get overwhelmed. I would like to believe that I will have a better knowledge of how to be able to do these things on my own and not have to ask everyone for help. I liked the way we had group discussions and took the time to answer questions. I hope this class stays this way. I also like the idea of learning how to blog and being able to meet my classmates. This class may turn out to be fun and not like my other class I am taking this session. I also noticed that a lot of other people in class had questions and it wasn't just me. I only asked a few questions but other people had some of the same questions I did and Dave answered them all. I am glad he is not one of the teachers that makes you sorry you even asked a question to begin with. I have had plenty if those. I also liked the way we started our class. We told about ourselves and Dave also told about himself and made everyone feel comfortable. The only thing I think I am not gonna like about this class is the reading. I don't mind reading, it's just that I can't remember everything and I don't know if I am concentrating on the most important parts of the chapters. But if we discuss our chapters in class like we did today I should be fine. I hope I will continue to like this class and I hope I can do okay in it. I actually hope I can do better than okay. We shall see.
