Digital Transformation, the MSc
I've been having a hard time figuring out exactly how I'm going to blog going through my MSc coursework. I want to keep on doing things like I am in my kate learns web development tag, where you get to see where I'm going with all of this.
But, at the same time, there's a lot of stuff in this course, and I have to figure out not only how to get it all in my head just for the course's sake, but how to distill it into something that would be interesting for people. While also learning how to do Harvard Referencing.
And it's killing my JavaScript learning, because I spent all of yesterday and today going through the reading, and no time for JavaScript, Dr. Jones, Paralives is on early release.
So I have to balance wanting to still learn JavaScript and blog about it with needing to do a lot of reading and taking notes with wanting to blog about the things I'm learning in my MSc with everything else I need to do as well.
(At least I don't have a job at the moment. How do people manage all of this?)
But I think I figured it out.
My schedule
Mondays and Tuesdays are coursework days. I do all my reading, I take all my notes (by hand, ow my fingers), I do all the journaling and watch the lectures and do everything I'm supposed to do.
Wednesdays and Thursdays are JavaScript days. Lord knows there's enough on there to keep me busy for weeks to come.
Thursdays is also course discussion day, where I get to talk with my classmates about the coursework.
Which means that on Fridays, I get to write up my thoughts about the week's coursework and post it on here. So every week, you get to see what a Digital Transformation MSc entails, while I also keep the JavaScript going on and don't forget what I'm doing in it.
Of course, also in that week is doing stuff around the house, going to the gym, watching movies, knitting, working out my talk for EMF, melting in 30°C heat (or as my good old bit of script reminds me, 86°F), and the regular medical appointments I still have thanks to my cancer year.
But that's all fine. I'm managing. And that's what matters.
So, tomorrow? I start JavaScript Objects. Friday? I tell you all about Information Systems Failures and the Technology Horizon.
Today's Sticker
Have I mentioned how great Eldritch Rach's Sticker Club is? Because it is great and this one is from it.
This is also now on my coursework notebook. Because, actually, that notebook did fix me. I was trying to take piles and piles of notes in a tiny tiny A5 notebook that had huge margins and huge lines, and I went "...this is ridiculous. I need a better notebook for this."
Now it's A4 with plenty of lines and it is working a treat.
NEW NOTEBOOKS CAN FIX YOU. DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY OTHERWISE.
