This was me today.  Wet around the edges and slowly unfurling all the various strands of life as a Domestic Executive. The course materials for the Masters in Gastronomic Tourism, which officially starts next week, are thankfully online early so there is frantic downloading, organising and planning how I’m going to juggle it all.
After only a few hours you find me cross-eyed from deciphering academic speak and being technologically challenged. Call me traditionalist if you like but seems that there is no longer a need for a pencil sharpener or colour coded stationery. It’s all about taking notes in Evernote and highlighting the important bits on the kindle. Seems essay writing is also a thing of the past and 21st century tutorials are replaced by discussion boards, blogging and writing wiki’s.
Thankfully I still have one text book, my pencil and an A4 notepad if the power goes off.
It sounds like you are going to be very busy but if what you share in your blog posts are any indication, you are a very organized person and you’ll be fine. As a traditionalist, I think you might enjoy this link that Ray shared earlier today http://readwrite.com/2013/01/11/why-writing-with-our-hands-is-still-important. Here’s to pencils and paper!
Hi Sabrina – great link. I am so much of a paper and pen person when it comes to engaging the brain.
