Funny how everyone but me believes I’ll do OK on this web design midterm coming up.  Somewhere inside of me I don’t think people recognize just how far behind  the learning curve I actually am.  Or.  It could be that once again other people have higher beliefs in my abilities than I do.  I think that is something I’ve needed to work on most of my life.  I have always been surprised when people told me I was smart.  I wonder why that is.  I must not have received enough validation growing up; I guess that is what happens when you grow up in a big family.  Sometimes you are just part of the larger clan, less individual, one of the kids.  Most of the time that was OK with me.  Most of the time it is still OK with me.  But we were  individuals, all good at different things.  It’s odd that it’s taken fifty years for us  to figure out just what we are each good at.  I’m pretty sure computer skills are not ever going to be one of my specialities.  And I’m OK with that.  As long as I pass the course and graduate on time in April I’m OK with it.

The midterm is Wednesday morning.  Stay tuned.
