Blog newbie

I have struggled with the idea this semester that I'm supposed to go find things to read and then blog about them. I don't have time to blog. Like most people in my class and life, I'm busy. I have a full time job, am going to school full time, and have other personal commitments that I signed myself up for. My brain keeps saying, though "at least you don't have children." People with kids are INFINITELY busier than I am, so if Michelle can find time put up her thoughts, then I certainly can. Of course, I'm much more relaxed reading someone else's blog than take the chance of writing my own, but that's my own issue I'll get figured out eventually!

So today, I took a chance and went to Brent's blogsite to read a little bit. I read his posting about Finding Your Voice and thought - hey, that sounds like me. I don't have any issues with the technical aspects of blogging. I'm just not sure that I have anything all that interesting to say. I followed a few links and found Wendy's blog In the Middle of the Curve: Fear of Blogging and it settled my anxiety a little bit. Now I just need to schedule the time to read things and blog about them!

Schedules!

I'm learning again that I need to schedule my time better. It seems I encounter this challenge at the beginning of every semester and that doesn't make any sense to me because it's not like I've had long amounts of time between semesters!

I'm caught up in one of my classes and getting close in the other one. I'm mostly caught up at work and I've been fundraising my little heart out. The last time I checked, my fundraising total was $3625, which I'm pretty doggone excited about. If you're interested in reading about that, you can visit my page at www.the3day.org/Arizona07/margi3day and that page will link you to my MSN space where I've gotten pretty good at blogging, but only for personal stuff.

Next entry - more along the lines of school, I promise!
