I love technology.... (NOT!)

Well I figured it was about time to start one of these things... It will be a journal of sorts for myself. I figure I can type much faster than I can write. Don't worry, don't worry... I'll still have a written journal. However, for my everyday life events, this seems like an easier way to record it. Plus, then everyone can see how my life is going etc.

Right now I have just tried to finish a slideshow I am putting together with pictures of my family for my Sunday School lesson coming up in a few days. I figured since tomorrow (well... seeing its really late... today) is Thanksgiving, I thought I'd get it done before I forget about it. Now for those of you who don't really know me.... 1. Why are you reading my blog? (Ok, now that I've got that out of my system) 2. I'm what the geek squad likes to call "computer stupid". I mean, I have taken some computer programming classes... but lets be honest. What does CS 142 actually help you to do?.... NOTHING! I'm learning Vb.Net Again.... NOTHING! So I'm trying to burn my slideshow on a DVD-R and my DVD burner is not recognizing that I have a DVD in my computer. So I try a CD-R... it burns just fine.... but it doesn't work on anything I put it into... not my computer.... not my TV DVD player. So by this time I'm frusterated. I change the format to VCD and burn on a CD-R again. This time at least my computer recognizes the disk and can be read after it is burned... but now the quality of the pictures has decreased significantly. And there is nobody left in Provo who can help me! :-( I hope my roommate's boyfriend Thomas comes back from Vegas before Sunday. He is our apartment's computer expert... but knowning my luck, probably not.

Well that was my rant for the night. This whole blog thing is very exciting and I hope I can find at least a bit of time each day to tell about my life! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
