WEEK 1- How it all started

Curiosity, surprise, euphoria, impatience, excitement, confusion, tension, desperateness, relief and here I am.
I am aware of the fact that the way I start the reflection of week 1 is quite strange. However, every mood has an explanation that I will explain in a minute.
1. Curiousity: The moment I saw the mail sent by UO I wondered what it was about.
2. Surprise: As it had been quite long since I applied for the course, I was really surprised seeing that I was acccepted.
3. Euphoria: I was delighted as I was going to take the course free of charge owing to the scholarship.
4. Impatience: It was really hard to wait for the start of the course.
5. Excitement: The moment I received the "welcome to the webskills course" from Dear Donna I felt as if I was preparing for the journey to a destination that I loved.
6. Confusion: As I received the attachments for the tasks a bit late, I didn't know what to do , which puzzled me.
7. Tension: Knowing that the tasks are to be completed in the week, every day added tension to my life and I couldn't help asking "What if I couldn't achieve all these?" This was because I used the class key on the worksheet on the attachment then realized that I did it wrong.
8. Desperateness: I saw more than fifty classmates on the discussion board but most of them had sent their messages in April not in June, which made me feel hopeless. Yes, I was doing something wrong. Luckily, there was no problem with the survey.
9. Relief: Going to my checklist for the Week 1 tasks I felt nervous and e-mailed Dear Donna to ask for help. How nice! She replied very soon and guided me. I can't tell you how relieved I was. I am still trying to bring the tasks to completion.

You see, even from the start, the course helped me feel a flood of emotions and above all I am very happy to be here. I am looking forward to learning the opportunities that technology offers us and hearing your ideas on various topics.
