I am a mere 5 days away from my summer vacation! Which is a really a work-cation ((Credit to Kalev for coining the word “work-cation”.)) because omg, look at all the crap I have to do: Granted, that is my “to do” for school up until October, but just seeing how much is on there […]
Now that I’m on summer “break” ((Where by “break” I mean I’m only working full-time, updating the course I teach (note to self: send email to admin peeps re: updating course), working on my business plan and a couple of assignments for school.)), I’m actually allowing myself to read things whose titles don’t include words […]
A mere 2,557 days ago, I started my blog. And I ended that very first blog posting with the words: “I’m not procrastinating. You’re procrastinating.” And who would have thought that 7 years later my Little Procrastination Project That Could would still be chugging along, providing a procrastination venue for me. When I started my […]
Before I started the MBA, I talked to some alumni about what the program entailed. And one of the things that came up in these conversations was the amount of time they spent on homework. Most people estimated it to be around 15-20 hrs per week (remember, this is on top of a full-time job). […]
I’d like to take a moment to pay tribute to these fallen soliders, who gave their lives so valiantly as I took notes in class and studied for my many exams in recent days: Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
OhmyFSM, I am so tired. This last few weeks has been absolutely killer, but I have, apparently, lived to tell the tale! Believe it or not, I managed to complete all the things on my “to do” leading up to this weekend. It got pretty crazy by the end – pretty much every day last week […]
As promised, here’s the Prezi that I made for my “A Day in the Life of the Evaluation Specialist” presentation: I doesn’t make a whole lot of sense without me standing in front of it and speaking words, but it does highlight my ability to find free stock images. And, hey, I never promised coherence […]
I’m doing a presentation at an All Staff meeting at work next week on “A Day in the Life of the Evaluation Specialist”. I figure since most people have no idea what I do and about half the time I get introduced as an epidemiologist, this might be a neat opportunity to spread the word […]
While I’ve been busy with this whole being-way-too-busy life I’ve got going on right now, I appear to have missed both my cariversary and my workiversary! Hard to believe that my baby car is three years old! She’ll be in kindergarten before I know it! Equally hard to believe is that I’ve been at my […]
I’m resurfacing after a weekend of classes! Had two exams this past weekend – marketing and IT management – and started three new subjects – stats ((Now, you are probably thinking, “Stats? Don’t you *teach* stats, Dr. Beth?” And you would be right. I do, in fact, teach stats. But stats is part of the […]
