Thing 2 RSS

I spent my entire first year in MILI feeling like I was behind on the whole RSS feed, reader thing. At the end of the year last year we had to set goals for ourselves before school started this fall. Two of my goals were making an igoogle page and adding a reader to it. Well, I got the igoogle page set up and couldn't figure out the reader piece and now just today I got the reader attached and I have reached my goals before school started!!! YES!

Day 2 thing 3

Last year when we were introduced to the RPC I wasn't sure how to use it so I didn't. This year I seem to have better ground under my feet and am ready to give it a try. There are so many tools that seem so helpful I am going to give some of them a try. I have found from past experience that trying to do everything with each of these tools is TOO much and I will focus on a few smaller elements as I get my feet wet trying this tool.

Day 1 Training

As i recall the confusion of the first day of Mili training last year and the sense of foreboding that I felt as I thought about what I had signed up for and whether I was up for it I smile. Knowing now that it will be okay and I'll be able do these things they are talking about is a great relief to me. Looking around at all the first year people I can see what my face looked like last year as we began. This year will be better, my confidence is already blossoming!
