So I think in our first blog we are supposed to talk about which habit we would have trouble with and which habit we would find the easiest from "The Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners"
Habit 1 – Begin with the end in mind
Habit 2 – Accept responsibility for your own learning
Habit 3 – View problems as challenges
Habit 4 – Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner
Habit 5 – Create your own learning toolbox
Habit 6 – Use technology to your advantage
Habit 7 – Teach and mentor others
Habit 7 ½ – PLAY!Have fun! It's never too late to become a lifelong learner.
I guess the easiest habit for me would be Habit 7 ½ – PLAY! Have fun! It's never too late to become a lifelong learner. I love playing with new technology, and I have already used quite a few things we are covering in Learning Web 2.0 e.g. myspace, facebook, wiki's, youtube etc. So I think the next 9 weeks are going to be quite fun.
The hardest habit for me would probably be Habit 7 – Teach and mentor others. I have a terrible habit of getting excited and talking too fast when I am trying to explain things to people. I am getting a bit better at it as I get older and I hope that I am becoming more patient with people when they can't keep up with me. (I sound very arrogant don't I???)
I usually like to finish off my blogs with a quote and my favourite quote at the moment is:
"True friends stab you in the front."
Oscar Wilde.

What about 'Thoughts from a drama queen library technician' instead of random throughts?
Habit 6 : Use technology to your advantage - I think you have that bit down pat too!
Hope you're having fun blogging.

If you are refering to my habit of cyber-stalking people then yes you are correct I do use technology to my advantage.:-P
Great start mate and I know the feeling, I have the same problem - my enthusiasm just carries me away, usually from other people at a rate of knots! Stick with it - you'll get there - I know I am, slowly but surely.
Monica, your blog may well be more interesting than history but overall I would say that is not the case. However you are a drama queen so I expect big things from your blog.
