Welcome to week 4 of my blog. For this unit, we are discussing time management, which has been my primary focus since starting the SLIS program. I've based my academic schedule around time management, because when I get my first career, I want to make sure I have the balance between work and me-time. I do a lot of extra-curricular activities, like swimming, bike riding, writing, playing Tetris, and spending time on my violin, and I do not want to give up any of those things for work. I have been keeping a Time Management Sheet, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet displaying different times of the day for me to fill in my daily activities, and I've filled in the times for things that I know for sure I will be doing this semester. The rest is up in the air. I have time set aside for swimming, meetings, and violin, and the rest is empty, which I can use towards schoolwork and what not.
As of right now, I've been going in and out of Second Life, adding furniture to my new house in Hampton Square, and teleporting to all the locations I visited with the LIBR 287 students in order to take snapshots of them for my virtual collection. It is a great thing to work on as I wait for the feedback to come in from my ePortfolio advisor, since I'm spending most of my time writing the essays for that. I'm supposed to write 14 competency essays by November 18, and so far, I've passed 3. I completed number 4 a couple days ago and sent my professor the link, and I'm waiting to hear back on it. My philosophy is "revise, revise, revise, until it's perfect."
