What a long week. For as long as I’ve been in school, October always seems to be the busiest / craziest / longest / shortest month of the year. It seems like all of the major projects and midterms and presentations hit in October, and this one has been no exception. About an hour ago […]
This week was hands down the busiest since starting grad school. From my 6750 midterm to the 5660 presentation in Elluminate on JSB, to leading two demonstrations on iMovie in VCT1030, I was really looking forward to this opportunity to sit back and reflect on my accomplishments.

Reflective Journal – Week 1 Week 1 traveled at the speed of light. Getting started with both grad school and being a graduate assistant, I was left wondering what I got myself into!
