Finished?

Ok, I think I have it all done.  I am submitting and holding  my breathe to see if I get a response that says I missed something.  I did my graphic organizers today.  I tried all of the example web sites and was only able to print off the maps to fill in manually, so I made a map with word.  I have done this for previous classes.  I then made a map on the mind site. 
I learned so much in this class, despite the fact that I had difficulty and did not have as polished a result as more experienced students.  Thank you all for your patience and assistance as my world was expanted.

catching up

Ok, yesterday was not a good day. Had a bad stomach bug. But I am better today and working to get everything finished on the check list.  One I overlooked was the search worksheet.  I completed and was suprised how easy it was to narrow down a search.  I used the search to find a good recipe for Chicken Picata.  I ate it at a restaurant on my trip and looove it.  I am obsessed.  And only one local restaurant has it.  so I thought I would try to make it myself.  I found a number of really good sites that have recipes.  I think I like the food network one the best, it has videos. and I know the chefs are top notch.
well, onto the rest of my list. below is the video I found at foodnetwork.....

Monday

Monday, Monday.  I have worked on my getting a video to embed.  It was supposed to be easy, but of course I had trouble with it.  I know it is my own fault, but so much of this class has been frustrating and overwhelming.  I struggle to figure one little thing out, only to discover that five more assignments have been posted.  I know I have learned a lot, but seeing how much I still have to do, I havent learned as much as I was supposed to.  I appologize for being short tempered.  I just feel like I am always ten steps behind.  An assignment that was to be quick took me four hours. soo, I must get back to it.
