I received a kind, eye-opening comment today regarding my previous post about the portfolio/ blogging workshop. As a result, I would like to clarify the last part of my message. It is VERY important to take your academic career seriously IN ADDITION to gaining "out of the classroom" experiences such as workshops, motivational speakers, or internships. In retrospect, I feel that I may have mislead my readers to think that these experiences were more important than academics. What I meant to convey is there is a delicate balance between academics and alternative forms of learning, and I think students sometimes forget that, including myself. I apologize for the confusion, and I wish everyone good luck in the last few weeks of classes. Thank you for the comments as well. ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL SPRING WEATHER (finally)!!!
