1.28.2014 FORWARD

GRANULAR VIEWS

It is late, but I am getting familiar with blogging tools and experimenting in the spirit of the course. I look forward to viewing the virtual microscope that our instructor mentioned in her most recent video. I enjoy reading and learning so I have become attached to the name of Nidaba, which according to online references, has something to do with a Sumerian goddess of writing, learning and the harvest.

I will want to learn more about that. I have always been attracted to the pleasures of writing and yet, oddly enough, this is my first blog--as a student. Finding an online biology course this semester was looking like a dim prospect right up until I managed to spot one seat left and dared to inquire by email if I might be a late registrant.

Once I determine the option of keeping this blog from going viral, I will post additional comments for classmates. I am certainly not interested in following comments from anyone in the virtual world led to this blog by bots and the practice of indexing for search engines.
