It's a Mystery


So my week as been busy off line doing homework and working hard at my job. I discovered I can get wireless at an extrodinary cost at my home, but will not be hooked up for a week or two.

My next challenge is to visit other bloggers and invite them to be a follower. Miigwetch Brian and Chrissy for finding me in ciber space and I was feeling kind of lonely floating around out here on my own.

I had ordered a new digital camera through a UMD linked site...It has been 3 weeks. I ordered on-line. The camera hasn't arrived. Must have done something wrong. I was excited to have a photo journal on this blog. I check out a couple of other blogg sites through Wabishkimakwa's Cohort IV link and I really thought Raina's slide show was a great added touch.

I left my computer on yesterday, had the language software open and another DVD in the drive...I fell asleep...the computer fell asleep...and I was unable to revive HIM!!! Yiiks! This seems to be happening to me lately. Everything I touch turns to MOO. My video camera, my VCR, my DVD/MP3 player, the copy machine at work, my truck, my car, and now my computer. Strangely enough I got it working again (it's a mystery!)

First steps


It was difficult and a bit scary as I stepped into the virtual world of blogging. I took some time, but I made it! I have decieded that I will need to obtain an on-line connection if I am going to survive this semester. I cannot learn the skills without access to the tools.
My next step is to research my options of connecting on-line. McDonald's staff is great and the lake view an added benefit (car racing on ice today) however I always feel like I have over stayed my welcome after 3 or 4 hours.
Makwa's journey is an on-line documentation of an urban Native taking her first steps into a new environment. The virtual environment. Reactions to techology and social interactions. Beware: humor, Ojibwe language and sarcasism found in this blog maybe offensive to some individuals. No harm or hurt feelings are intented. Read at your own risk.
