But seriously folks, just think about it - I am 19 years old. I have practically no life experience, and I have a very very narrow area of knowledge. Wikipedia is accessible by people around the world, and practically relied upon for useful, accurate information. If not a single on of the millions of other users was able to turn a stub into a proper article, how could I be expected to do it? I know there are clearly other ways of getting information, but to me this was one of the hardest things to even begin wrapping my head around, let alone actually starting to work on. It took days for me to decide on a topic, and even after I made an account on Wikipedia I couldn't figure out exactly how to maneuver the technical parts of the website. Combine this with the intimidation I feel every time I think about all the stipulations for a correct blog post and this whole e-portfolio assignment is just... not my thing.
I hate the idea of posting things on the internet for anyone else to see, and I would honestly rather have a midterm and a final than to have to do this blog. I would rather cut off my pinky finger than to have to do this blog. It's just so frustrating to me, because I am not a computer kind of person and having this many sites and accounts that just keep bloody emailing me is incredibly annoying!
But I digress. As per the stipulations I feel that I need to point out that Rebecca seemed to have the same kind of idea toward the Wikipedia article as I did, although unlike me she overcame it and actually seemed to have enjoyed looking up information on her topic. But really, with a name like hypergymnasia it does sound kind of fun, until you learn that it's a disorder. Whoops. And now I'm almost out of my 2-4 paragraph wiggle room, so I will leave you with a picture of a person looking frustrated while trying to use a computer.
