This semester was a doozie - both challenging and rewarding. Heavy course work load kept me from blogging, although I probably have at least a half-dozen half-written posts needing to be polished up and fleshed out so I can publish them already.
As far as how I did in the classes, I enjoyed them greatly, and I really like finally getting to thoroughly exercise my brain. I'm still awaiting the final grade on a major group project in one class (40% of the grade for that course), but I got a high A in Organizing and Accessing Information and Knowledge, which was a course heavy on metadata, taxonomies and information architecture, with three substantial projects. In the first course (in September), Information and Knowledge in the 21st Century Economy, which was a foundational course, I got a solid A. Management and Leadership in the Knowledge Domain is my only still-outstanding grade. I have a 94 so far, but that 40%-of-the-grade project obviously carries a lot of weight, so the final grade in that class is still up in the air, but I have high hopes and expectations. :)
I just got back to NY from Texas, after visiting the family for Christmas. My 1-year-old niece is absolutely adorable :) I love getting to play doting Auntie! Of course, I came down with a cold my last day there, so had to skip the goodbye kisses and hugs for the little one :( At least I got my flu shot this year. Too bad it doesn't do anything for the common cold. :\
Now back to the job hunt, and seeing how much productive stuff I can get done between now and when classes start back up on January 17.
Happy New Year!!
