Thing 2 - L2

What do I hope to learn?
Well, there is so much...I feel a bit overwhelmed but excited. I hear about so many things that I do not really know about, or understand. I need to be realistic, dabble in several things, and then really pick a few things that I can use effectively and purposefully.
When will I find the time?
This is the million dollar question! Time is everything, especially when you try to balance family, work and everything else that goes on. I never really thought of learning about 23 things as important as exercising for heath, but when I thought about learning and how that is as important as taking care of my physical health, I decided that it might not be as hard to find time as I thought. Time will tell.
What am I looking forward to?
Now, I am just looking forward to continued learning. When I put it in a simple format such as learning and improving myself, it all became a lot easier and more fun.
How does the internet affect my time at home/work?
It can really consume all spare time. It is so fun to mess around with this phenomenon that all of sudden I notice that hours have passed. What I cannot get over is the fact that I have not tapped into even a fraction of what is out there. I just need to figure out how to streamline things so that I am using my time wisely and effectively. Always a struggle!
What about my library?
I think that the libraries will definitely need to move forward here. With small children, we frequent the library for primarily book checkout but to keep my kids interested for the future the libraries will have to offer these advanced L2 tools. I believe that this is the way that their future learning and recreation is headed.
