Swept Away By A "SOO-NAH-MI"

 yeah, swept away ... read on to know why


Another session for my Education 509 and we are assigned to do a presentation about killer waves. We're right here in the cyber library but I am doing my own stuff, hehe --- blogging on the side, that is. 


This is what happens when the software I am downloading so I can download a You Tube clip takes forever to complete.  I am already through downloading files, pictures and other related stuff and it's this darn downloader that's making the research process tarry. 


I wasn't thinking of doing a blog right here ion the cyber lib, but since the situation suggested that I do, then, here I am rambling like some madwoman without really knowing what I want to say and type --- well, bear with this somewaht crazy madam, LOL! And I learned quite a lot today.  I thought that research using the internet is termed the same as the good ol' "research", but  (hides face in shame) it's really termed as webQuest Inquiry. Wow! If didn't enrol, I wouldn't have known how it is called --- but of course, I know the process.  I didn't even know that putting together a collection of photos, journals, videos and the like is termed electronic portfolio --- ignoramus of moi! (I could laugh at myself, I know!)


And since I am at it, I thought that  the word TSUNAMI is pronounced as it is read --- meaning "tsu-nah-mi", but boy, was I wrong! It's to be pronounced "SOO-NAH-MI".


Kaulaw fud, hehe!

    I wasn't able to install my downloaded software. It was blocked and only an administrator could do so.... looks like China has wormed its way into SSC cyber lib, grrr! After hours of waiting, everything was worth nothing.
