I am feeling very overwhelmed with software downloads and readings that I am having a hard time learning. My first attempt to download the first of two ubuntu files failed and my second attempt isn't going that well either. I currently don't have high-speed Internet at home so I am at my local public library downloading to my laptop but as I shared in the activity section of our course I might need to upgrade my RAM. It's driving me crazy the hours involved to download. Is this normal? I wonder whether my classmates' experience is similar. I hope future activities don't require this amount of time. I suppose I could let these things download overnight while I'm sleeping peacefully but I guess I won't know until I get service which won't be for another week because I am going on vacation starting tomorrow.
I'm not faring well with the readings and assignments. I keep reading and rereading the same things. I have a hard time keeping straight what we post where, etc. But I know I am not alone and I am glad you all are out there because I'm going to need you!

Thanks for sharing your angst, Elizabeth. The assignments are like trying to read Greek (or geek might be the better word). Rereading hasn't really helped me. I've decided to breathe deeply and wait. Being a school teacher I know the power of "learn by doing". Cathie
I suspect much of this will abate as you become familiar with the lingo. That's why we stress the various dictionaries, information sources and terminology early on.
