Nightmare on Tech Street

This has been a very frustrating week for me.  The multiple audio's I tried never seemed to work or the websites would tell me that I could not download it for some reason.  I've still been trying and am trying to remain optimistic... Maybe today will be the day I figure it out.  Until then, the frustrating madness will continue.  I will be posing the slide doc I attempted today.  Hopefully it is something in the right nature as that was just as confusing and frustrating to me.  With more practice I'm sure I could understand it better but wanted to post my feelings- if only just to vent and come back to a clean slate to work from!
 Here's looking at you kid...

Here is the update! I don't know if I did this right but I really tried.  I have even emailed the author I was doing this on.  I wanted to take the hint and do this on Margarita Engle whom I am doing a Prezi on.  She is a fascinating author with many awards and acknowledgements to her books.  However, finding information on her life is incredibly difficult! So hard that I even found her email and have emailed her with loads of questions to try and learn more.  I don't have Word on my computer so I used the OpenOffice.  I ended up having to snip it because it wouldn't let me download. The graph I could not figure out how to change the dates.  I finally threw my hands up and nearly pulled my hair out.  My hope was to do a sort of timeline on her life.  Starting from when her father went to Cuba, met her mother and fell in love.  She would summer in Cuba and I did find that one summer in 1960 diplomatic relations between the states and Cuba broke down.  It was incredibly difficult to get home and after that communication with that part of her family was restricted.  I'd like to come back to it and keep updating it.   Maybe even getting it to work! Until then, I'm going to try and tackle this audio link, again... maybe this time with success.
One can dream....
