Oh well... too late now

This is especially for Kathy, Jack and me. Here's how it starts: "Let’s say you’ve been a journalist for a while but you feel a bit out of the loop when it comes to using social media and multimedia... Should you go to grad school?

'Lord, no,' says Jen Lee Reeves of KOMU-TV, who’s on the faculty at the University of Missouri. 'You can teach yourself anything. You just need a little quiet time.'"

Aye, and there's the rub. Where do you find 'quiet time'?

You can read the whole story here. If you have trouble following all of the logic in it, please let me know.

I definitely hear what you are saying here and really questioning whether I will ever get some of this stuff. Sitting in a hotel room in California this morning re-installing Wordpress and rebuilding my entire blog. I won't bore you with details, but I tried to change something and it didnt work. Uggh ! Not always a fan of this technology.....

Going back to school was one of the best decisions I ever made. I mean, look at all the resources! I've met so many terrific people, instructors, and students who are truly motivating and inspiring. I've tried this on my own--just didn't work. I may not be the best and brightest, but I've made more progress in school in the past couple of months--than I have in years. Just ask my 14 year old!
