I'm a woman of my word, so I'm a gonna do this 
I am trying to do a rose on a square. It's my first time (I really thought I could do it when I simply looked at it). Last night I actually sat down, read the pattern and bam, round 3 already I ran into trouble. "I figured, let me sleep on it, this is supposed to be fun." Well, now it's the next day and I still can't envision:
"from the back, sl st around the post of the first dc on round 1, directly below; ch 5 to count as the first dc and the first ch 2, (bpdc around the next dc on round 1; ch 2 7 times . . ."
I'm cool until I get to the slip stitching around a post (never seen that before; I am a visual learner). I believe bpdc means double crocheting around a back post??? I thought I saw that somewhere once when it wasn't my concern, thus I did not learn it.
I have more ?'s about this square, but I need to get through round 3 first

You are a lifesaver, my partner!!!!! I am so wanting to present a good impression here (which is funny; not like I'll ever meet my newfound peeps, but still) ;-).
Printing it out right now.  |

bpdc means you dc around the post of the stitch in the previous row instead of the way you normally do it...going from back to front....
