Progression slow

I began my learning adventure by taking a demo class from a on-line photography school and although I aced the written lesson when it comes to up-loading the requested pictures I received an error message.  I have e-mailed the instructor and am awaiting his suggestions.  I really hope that I can get this process working, I really would like to take the course.  The problem is that it is taking to much time to up-load the pics.  Needless to say I am at wits end.  Maybe soon I will receive an reply and will be able to complete the assignment.  Below are the three pics that I tried to load.  The first is a land-scape, the second is a person, and the third is sender's choice.  What do you think?

On another note, I must say I am looking forward to getting out and about and shooting some new stuff, hopefully it will not be to long.   Waiting to see.
