Shalom shalom!  Here I am writing in a journal again instead of making a video. I have spent almost my whole day trying to accomplish my homework tasks for my web design course and it hasn’t been easy.  I’ve been in front of my computer for almost the entire day.  I only wish that I had more to show for all my effort!  While it’s true that I have learned a lot through trail and error and by trying to mimic my instructor, I am still far from completing the assignment that was due this morning.  Here are some things that I have learned and accomplished today—I learned how to insert anchors on a webpage, how to make a blog page (kind of), and how to create a menu.  I still need to insert my menu and logo that I created the other day into a header that I will build.  That’s for later.  I’m the student that is trailing the class by one week.  The truth is, I don’t have a natural feel for web design.  However, I do think that once I learn the tools that I will be able to be very creative with this and that it will be fun for me.

Because I have had many setbacks in my work and have felt very under stress, I’ve been quite grouchy today.  Also, I’m lacking sleep.  Rachamim wanted to go out and do something today but I just couldn’t.  He doesn’t seem to know how to back off when I’m under pressure and he proceeded to read a list of all the things that we need to do which made me all the more anxious and angry too.  That’s how my morning began.  I got back at him though (in truth, my actions weren’t at all to get back at him) by telling him that I needed his help in ordering housecleaning for one day this week from an app that we use called “Midrag”.  Because the app is in Hebrew, it is beyond me to be able to negotiate it alone.  Unfortunately, Rachamim is one of the least techie people in the world so it’s hard for him in a different way.  After much annoyance and cursing we did finally arrange for a cleaner to come on Thursday.  It will cost a lot, but I need help getting ready to receive company a week from now.
