Full Speed Ahead
This semester I have scheduled blogging time on to my calendar each week with the hope that maybe I'll use it. Here I am, 45 minutes into that hour, and I'm just beginning a post. No need for recap of the 7 months since I last spoke here. Life and work right now are FULL SPEED AHEAD.
No time to wrap my head around the fact that we're already closing the books on week two of the new semester. Only enough time to look ahead to what's coming - it's gonna be a great one!
Moving forward with a galloping pace - 6 classes to teach next week (hoping to use the response system); the Annual Open House the week after - followed by more classes (I've lost track of how many sessions I've got on the books - at least 20 so far I think); team teaching LST 083S - it's the same First Year Seminar as last year with a new look and feel. Got it on the books officially, and we're trying it out as a jam-packed 5-week course, meeting from 9/29 - 10/29, twice a week, culminating with a multimedia presentation which is being assisted by the Digital Commons and Ellysa Cahoy, ETS Faculty Fellow and library colleague. Late October brings a season of travel - heading to Monterrey for Internet Librarian, where I'll be co-presenting a session on handhelds that includes the Sony Reader project. Immediately after that is Charleston, at which I'm presenting in an E-Books pre-conference November 4th. Throw in there two book chapters due this fall, and you'll see why there's no looking back!
