Wrapping Up

I realize that this blog did not get updated as frequently as others, and that much more time and effort could have been expended in making it beautiful, but I think I did find things out about myself and my project in the course of it.

My Reflections post in particular opened up a whole new area of interest for me. (Why is it that people rely so heavily on technology when there are already people around?  This is particularly true, in my opinion, about people who text while hanging out with their own friends. Is the company not fulfilling enough? Is there just a human need to be around as many people as possible?)  The blog opened up this line of thinking where as a written reflection may not have (and it saved me from a cramped right hand).

I do believe that blogging is something I'd be more apt to do outside of class. It's something that I  have done, on and off throughout the last few years (on and off seems to be a default for me, so my inconsistency on this blog is really not atypical for me).  However, I always tend to see a blog as something to introspect over personally, rather than professionally.  As was seen in my Reflection, rather than expanding on a topic for my own project, I went on a tangent for something else, it's just something that I, as a person do quite frequently.

The other concern I had with this blog was purely tactical.  I had to create a new email address, one that is out of my immediate attention, thus the blog attached to it fell to the way side.  I could have changed my homepage or left myself self email reminders to bring to attention 'Yes, A, you have another email address now,' but to be honest, I don't have that much foresight.  This did, however, teach me that as a student, as an adult, I severely need to ensure to set reminders about deadlines and stick to them. (And also brought to light how horrific my spelling is...)

I do think I will continue blogging, under my primary email, and probably not again 'professionally', but it is a great way to introspect and see everything from a different angle.

So, until that time... I'll be out and about, just taking a Look.
Ta!
