its been a while

Its been a while since I have posted. I have been moving along quickly with my classes, it seems like the weeks are flying by. I can't believe its already October next week. I am working in a team on a final group project for my References class. We are making podcasts about NYC called miNY stories. If anyone wants to check out the ones from last semester here is the link: basically my team mates and I make two podcasts having to do with NYC. We chose the Harlem Renaissance and we need to make one podcast for the arts and humanities, and one for more scientific data. We each are choosing one person to focus on in the Harlem Renaissance and also focusing on statistics and migration data. Should be a pretty straight forward project, and fun to do. Its difficult to balance this project with the other two assignments we have for the class, both worth 25% of our grades, and to balance this class with assignments due for other classes, and some serious papers I need to write for each class. I have two 10 page papers to write as final projects, a website to publish for one class, and these miny stories for the other. Time management has been key..I need to write three articles for my Theories of Information class and I haven't even started. I know time is going to fly by and I need to get started.I also need to do a 3 hour job observation. I am bummed that most of the activities I want to participate in fall on a thursday night when I have class. I am finding that networking is becoming difficult in that manner. This weekend I am going to Ellis Island. I am staying at Liberty State Park, and taking a ferry Sunday to the island and museum. This should be a nice break from work, but on Monday I have to hop back into readings, and my second assignment due for my Information Technologies class. So much to do So little time. To add to the stress, I still haven't gotten my financial aide check. I am living on credit, and in desperate need of cash! None of my classmates have gotten their checks either and its been over a month since classes started...apparently this school is very slow with money...
