O.K. So I’ve been a bit busy lately

Yes, I’ll admit it the last few months have flown by and I’ve been neglecting my blog.  In fact I’ve even drempt about my blog and how negligent I’d been.  What’t more after awhile I got “blog anixety’ where I actually felt writers block when it came to blogging.  However, most of all I have not been posting because as you’ve probably guessed my scheduale has just been too crammed.  The truth of the matter is that this current blog post is actually procrastination on two of my term papers.

Everything and nothing seem to have been happening in the last few months.  The research grant for Huafan was approved and I’ve been doing a lot of cool things with my PhD course work.  However, my whole schedule of teaching, PhD course work, and Chinese classes leavs me feeling quite drained and many aspects of my life have been neglected recently.  Our apartment looks like two men live in it and key personal errands like getting a new cell phone or hair cut just keep on getting postponed.

    i felt exactly the same way. that combined with a neck injury prevented me from being on my computer for a few weeks so i really had to let go of a lot of web based activities…

    blog pressure is lame and pretty much self-inflicted… so one of my 2008 new years resolutions: you don’t have to be perfect all the time. let go of this silly notion and just live!

    anyway, i am thinking you and Range and wishing you both a very happy new year!

  • Writing With Video Reflection March 31, 2012
    Over the past several days I have been reflecting on my progress in Joseph Squier’s Writing with Video course.

  • Film for Module 3- Writing with Video March 28, 2012
    For our Writing with Video module 3 I would like to do an extension of my first film and question the relationship between art-making and art education. Within the field practitioners are often encouraged to promote art educational research over art-making practice. This dichotomy is unfortunately aligned with the expression “those that can’t do teach”. [... […]
