I was excited about creating my own electronic literature piece; now I’m a stressed mess about it.  The end of my Masters has been so much more taxing then I even could have anticipated. My nerves are shot and I have several (4) larger projects to finish up. I have already taken my comprehensive exam and I have my defense on Friday.

I originally thought it would be fun to do a parody of on-line dating, where you could pick your own destiny (pull downs or easy to answer questions) but even that has become terribly difficult.  I cannot figure-out the html piece of this project.

I have a couple of ‘prewritten’ pieces I thought about utilizing, but no matter what I pick I’m having a very difficult time executing.  I’m not trying to learn code, and even the simplest navigation is difficult for me. I’ve read other peoples experiences and blogs and I have to say that I’m impressed with the over all great attitude and self esteem this class has as a whole.

I’ve been working on this for days and I’m no closer to having anything to share with the class, but I’m going to continue to try.  I need to focus better, just follow my instincts and stick to a single subject.  I’m going to try and storyboard this for easier execution. 

Visiting my family in Spain was important to me, I had not planned to take a Monday night class when I made the arrangements, and missing two classes is very much not like me.  I’m bummed that I missed workshopping this, it would have been helpful.  I’m going to read the notes and everything else I can get my hands on and do the best job I can with what I have and what I know.
