Life Catch Up

I’ve been in a bit of radio silence since Residence Life training started and with the start of my (final) semester. I have just 93 days until graduation, and I can hardly believe it. I still have a lot of things I need to accomplish before graduation, including passing my classes (and staying on the track of graduating with honors), applying to jobs, going to the Botanical Gardens, and hitting all of the essential East Lansing places.

Life is hectic and crazy with seven jobs. Yes, that’s right. Seven. Technically seven are “jobs” and two are e-board positions, but it all adds up. Basically, I’m ridiculously busy. Here’s a screenshot of a week from Google Calender for some perspective.

My September Calendar

My life currently revolves around Google applications: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google+… you name it, I’m probably using it in some way.

In the meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out the best way to present my portfolio. I built a Custom Content Type with PHP in the Spring, but I’d like to expand it to do more. I’ve found a great plugin, but it doesn’t actually change the output. At some point, I should meet with my professor Mike McLeod to help sort it out. It’s high priority, but not high enough priority that it goes over the homework. Hopefully, I can manage to fit that in at some point soon.

I’ll try to keep updating with news. If anything, blogging is a good way to keep myself in check. For now, it’s time to arrange a presentation on a digital creation for Thursday. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take up the rest of my afternoon.
