It has been over 8 months since I last updated this blog!! I have neglected it terribly in all my busy-ness.

Wow… it seems that as I age, time passes increasingly quickly and sooooo much has happened since January of this year and now the year is more than half over. I can’t believe how much has changed and how much I’ve learned.

I completed my first year at Ohio State–it ended with a lesson learned: Don’t lapse back into workaholism!! I took on way too much this summer. FOUR CLASSES with two new preps as well as research duties that became increasingly time consuming as the summer progressed.

I spent a whole lot of time at the OSU Thompson Library–doing research has allowed me to learn more about the vast resources available at this great institution.

Well, I can honestly say that I have learned a whole lot about myself and about my new institution, but I still have a lot to learn. I’m getting better at managing my time–I’ve picked up a lot of great tips from my colleagues here in the School of Educational Policy & Leadership and my own reflections on how things are going. It’s truly been a great year–not without its challenges, but definitely a great year.

So, I am going to try to update my blog more often. It’s shameful to let 8 months go by without an update!! Ugh! Well, for now, it’s back to the grading stratosphere…
