While sitting in the library, KM and I were frantically trying
to get our blogs created. Panic, anxiety, and “frenzicality” were just a few of
the emotions we felt as we scurried to establish our shell on Google’s Blogger. I guess I shouldn’t answer for
her, but that is what seemed to be looming in the room. I think it took me an hour just to set up the
shell and pick out a title. My mind was drawing a creative blank because of the
growling hunger in my stomach. I could
hardly wait to devour the delicious lunch I had prepared this morning. I picked
the first thing that came to my mind—Delicious, Horner, Horner-licious! So there you have it—23 Horner-licious Things.
You cannot have 23 Horner-licious Things without a random website address: www.23thingstodowhenyouarebored.blogspot.com.
No one outside of this class will ever find it; this will allow me to hone in
on my blogging skills prior to stepping into the classroom as a real-live
teacher!
I had a blast finally getting my blog established when I got
home. I did not have the hustle and bustle of first-day students running
frantically around me in the library. I was able to post my first blog and then
set up my avatar with ease. I have had some experience with avatars prior to
EDUC 5540. I used to make Voki avatars for my students while teaching in
Alabama. Vokis allow for verbal expression through voice uploading, or you can
always choose a pre-fabricated voice in the system. However, I liked how user
friendly Doppelme was. As an English
major, I was drawn into the program name. Everyone needs a Doppelganger in
their midst. My Doppelganger is Will Ferrell—just in case you were interested. I
think my avatar reflects my loud and studious personality. I often like to have
fun wearing a flower in my hair while walking around with a computer on my hip.
Notice the fancy purple pants! I am now actually on a mission to find this
outfit—maybe a quick trip to the Gap is on the agenda if I ever get through
with Thing #2!
Do you really walk around with a flower in your hair and a computer on your hip? It would not suprise. You making blogging sound like so much fun in this post. If I had not already made my avatar and blog your post would make me want to try it. Way to go!! I love the look of your blog and what a great pic of you and your hubby. As for the Will Ferrell thang, you are crazy girl! Blake Shelton is so much cuter! have fun with your blog and I know we will chat soon!
