This morning I found myself getting up much earlier than I usually do (I even used an alarm), getting and ready and heading to the base. Our lecture room slowly filled up with staff on their laptops, connecting to the internet, and Janis and I realized that this was the most people the base has ever had connected wirelessly, at one time. (There were 9 of us… ok, that’s not so many by American standards, but for us, it actually slowed down our internet quite a bit… it was monumental.)

So, what was all of this for? I was teaching a seminar about blogging. Blogs are something that our staff have been interested in for some time. Chris has been working diligently to set them all up and today I spent the morning showing our staff how to customize their blogs, as well as the basics of how to write a post, add pictures, etc. We used to projector and I walked my group of students through the process, step by step. It was a challenge, but we did it. I was proud of all of them. They all learned the basics and got started on their way into the world of blogging!

I’m sure that I’ll be getting a lot of questions in the not-so-distant future, but it’s not so bad.

Oh, did I mention we leave for America in 10 days? We have a friend, Danka, from Czech, coming tomorrow for about a week, and a band coming from England that Chris is hosting… a lot going on and a lot to do in our last 10 days before we leave.
