Progress and no progress
The penultimate week at work: I made no progress on my Noro jacket project, and spent about 3 hours a night with my homework assignments, so the week whizzed by, and now only 1 week remains. Wow.
It’s a massive leap of faith, but I guess…what isn’t?
Finally got out to the apple trees today, but the ground was a bit too soft for stomping around, so we just marked the branches we need to cut & headed back to the balcony to sit in the sun for a little while. As difficult as it is on our desires to ski, prune trees, and revel in snowfalls, the January thaw does have its benefits.
Losing my mind a little
It’s a year of big changes for me: I’m going back to consulting, instead of working full-time, so I can finish my degree in an accelerated program from Boston University (and be totally done in around 18 months).
School hasn’t started yet, but will in 5 days, and I’m trying to crank through my reading (The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, which is very absorbing, luckily).
It’s an online-only course (which is the only way I could pull this off without actually moving to Boston), so orientation’s been accompanied with some delightful interludes of setting up one of the home computers to be my designated workstation. I’ve never seen so many add-ons & plugins in my life. It’s definitely going to give me a whole new perspective on the technology end of e-learning, and I’m going to use what I’ve learned for future IA/UX work, to be sure.
