Does anyone feel a little overwhelmed with the blog posts?
I have been doing an ok job about keeping up with them until recently. Part of it is the fact that I've been more in absorb info mode than really responsive mode. I'm checking out a lot of these sites and playing with them enough to get a feel for what they do and what they can do. However, I don't have much to say about them because it's still mostly figuring them out and by the time the next post is due, I'm already thinking about the homework and everything for the week after.
I'm an English major that doesn't like to write. What I mean by that is I don't like journals or daily writing requirements. I find myself more focused on getting something down for class than actually being any form of creative about it. I know that sounds horrible, but while I feel like I'm keeping up well with the blog posts, other things seem to be getting in the way. Because of that, most of mine lately have been lackluster and quite nearly boring.
For instance, this week I spent every day either at work or at school, and when I wasn't in either of those, I was trying to get ready for my best friend's wedding. Tuesday was ok and I did spend a great deal of time playing around on Goodreads, but by the time Thursday/Friday/Saturday came around, I was so focused on the desire for sleep and the temptation to throw my friend's fiance out a 6th story window, that I bypassed the homework. (Probably not the best thing to admit publicly, but it's true)
I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue? Am I a horrible student?

I appreciate your honesty and no, I don't think you're a horrible student. Others have mentioned how time-intensive it can be just to accrue a sufficient knowledge base of any one of the online technologies introduced so far. I often find that absorption mode can be just as important as response mode (if not more so).
