The End...

Well, it's hard to believe that I've finally made it to the end of CML's Learn and Play. It's been interesting to say the least. I had no idea that there was so much to do on the internet when I started, and there are definitely some that I'll take with me now that it's over.

The exercise that has impacted me the most was the Google Documents one. I have another job where I work partially at the office, partially at home, so having a place where I can save my work and not have to worry about sending it to myself so that I can work it at one place or the other has saved me time and frustration.

I also liked YouTube more than I thought I would. I thought it was mostly a site for people to do crazy things--you can thank the news media for that; it seems like every week there's a story on "you won't believe what I saw on YouTube." But there are really informative and interesting videos on it too. I'll probably check it out a little more once I get the time.

Even the basic act of writing a blog post was something I hadn't done before. I'm wasn't sure if I would like it--I told one of my bosses that I would rather have someone else look at it before I send it out into the world. But then again, this is a forum for my thoughts, so they aren't influenced by what someone else thinks. If nothing else, this has helped me get back into the swing of writing on a semi-regular basis, which is good for a budding writer.

Still, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to continue with this blog. I have high hopes for it, as I do with most of my projects. I tend to think big and usually fail to aspire the greatness I expected. And yet I am usually satisfied with the results. So here it is, the end of an enlightening few weeks and the beginning of real lifelong learning. And with that this is Crafty Katie signing off until next time...

Let no one say I don't have a flair for the dramatic!
