Getting in Deep!

HTML and CSS, I have to say are very interesting to me.  I had NO idea how websites were made and i really thought that it was like rocket science.  Well, now that I am getting my feet wet in this arena, I am not sure it is rocket science but maybe more like a new language that I am learning and I am stuck on how to say, "hello".  I have now made a super basic web page with the html assignment, which I did have a little trouble with.  I now realize that just because it looks like a space on the tutorial doesn't mean that there really is a space and that I should check more than one source of information.  Due to my lack of html knowledge prior to this course I was still pleased with my outcome and have learned even more since the grading of the assignment.  As for the CSS, I found myself wanting to bang my head against a wall until I realized that what I need is more time in my day, and another day in my week.  I as struggling a bit with finding the time that I need for this course to do all of the tutorials and to do them again so that I really understand the concept.  I do feel like I have made some progress in self scheduling this week and really hope that it will show in my work.

I do feel like I am learning a lot but still feel like I am left at the end of the week, praying that it is enough to build on in the week to come.   I am intrigued by what we are learning and am excited that I am actually able to make a basic page and can make changes to a style sheet and somewhat understand what all of that even means.  This course still makes me nervous, but is challenging me and that is worth it. I look forward to see if I am able to learn how to make my own family blog much cooler than it is now with the basic stock format. Or maybe even a family website that the whole family can use. As far as my future career, I feel that what I am learning opens countless doors considering that my goal is to teach online courses.  I feel that as much information in this area that I can acquire will only help me in the career arena and make me more marketable.   

I look forward to what is to come!
