This is my first creative online class.  On the 1st day of class, I was excited but nervous.  Excited to be starting a creative class, but nervous because I didn’t know how difficult the class would be.  I was probably more nervous than anything else…just staring, confused, billy goat style.

As Professor Seslow continued on with the class, I thought, he’s a nice guy. Then he started using terms like inbed images and hyperlinks.  I tried to keep cool…tried to keep my poker face on, but emotionally I felt I looked more like this confused cat…

After class, I tried to navigate my way around the Commons site and find the first class recording to complete assignment one.  That probably took me a couple of hours alone.  I finally found the recording and was going back and forth between creating my post and listening to the recording like, he said do what na? (in southern accent)…

I kept at it…tried to get out of my head and have more fun with it.  Finally, I calmed down and got the hang of it.  Even created a gif for my first post.  I previewed it to give it a look, then published it.  I sat on my sofa and smiled.
