Frustrating Day

So one of my classes this term is "Internet in Depth" which is the reason I started this new blog. So far the class has been great, but at the same time incredibly frustrating. I am normally very non-trusting, cynical, and look for the worst in everyone. I know that's not the best outlook on life to have, and when I was younger I was quit the opposite. But life sticks it too you and you adapt and change. I have always been very skeptical of everything I see on the internet and love to punch holes in the lies and scams I come across. With this said, my professor has showed me my Achilles heal twice this term. I get fishing e-mails all the time, never fall for it, he sends me one and even though one part of my brain is screaming NO!!!!! I click on it anyways and enter my info. It's from the school, it has to be legit.

  Why oh why did I not listen to my bullshit detector? It was going off like mad, yet blindly I followed orders. Of course I am the type to stew on things so this is just eating at me, making it difficult to get my mind on task. Which is why I am blogging instead of doing homework. O.K. time to recite my mantra for a while, "don't trust anyone, don't trust anyone, don't trust anyone".
