This should have gone a lot better, but I really didn't devote as much time to it as I would have preferred. The assignment itself is simple enough, and there was no lack of good selections to choose from in the suggestions offered in the assignment. And, truthfully, Nichole F. had already set up a list of blogs for me back in the day when she was working right across from me (Hi, Nichole! Yes, we still miss you!) Of course, some of those blogs never got looked at again.
Adding to my frustration was running into things I (Nichole) had already signed up for, account passwords that I couldn't recall, and trying to make the choice between what is and isn't work related (and therefore appropriate to a work-related blog). And then deciding for the purposes of this assignment, I didn't really need to make that distinction, did I?
I've heard others complain about how much time it will take to juggle all this information. We had (have?) a similar struggle with email lists and there are times when it's easier just to delete everything in your inbox and drop all your subscriptions. Or, in a more telling, library-relevant way, realizing you've checked out way more books than you can possibly read before the due date, and just returning everything. That's kind of a liberating feeling. But, you can't help feeling there was a missed opportunity there, too.
So, I'm going to try and give this assignment a little more attention this weekend-- on the personal and professional sides-- and see if I can close closer to that happy medium where the end results are worth the effort.
