Are People Reading This?
Blogging accomplishes two purposes in my opinion…
The first of these is to complete one’s thinking into an organized fashion. (Although you could get that with just writing) The other is to communicate to others what you are working on or what’s going on in your life. I’ve not really been spending as much as some other people do on their blogs because I’ve been involved with things that not many other people necessarily care about, and much of my energy for writing is going towards schoolwork. After my sabbatical leave is over I’ll be scaling this website to become more of a software engineering perspective (because I will likely be writing more code then).
I like to be verbose in my writing which makes it hard to spit out really short posts sometimes.
As far as what I’ve been doing lately, I just completed my application for graduation in December. It’s hard to believe it is coming that soon. I was talking to my sister today and she had remarked about the fact that it had seemed like I just started. This indeed is true. My first class was Fall 2005, and I was thinking I would be able to get done sometime before the 6 year time limit of my program. I’m rather proud of the fact that I was able to do it in much less than that (provided I don’t mess up my comprehensive final exam required to graduate from the ASU Ed Tech program), and that I’ve been able to pay for it with money from my own pocket.
At any rate, I’m going to be going back and inserting some relevant posts about things I’ve learned. I know that is not what a blog is for, but as far as keeping a journal for others to read it makes sense to go back and put these items in.
When I get back to work in December/January I will be reporting to the MCCD sabbatical committee on what I learned. I will be referring back to this website as an electronic portfolio of my experience, so some of those things should be in there anyway.
