Sometimes Being Slow Pays Off

So I have finally figured out how to budget my time to manage my demanding job and demanding school work. The details of this are generally uninteresting so I will only detail enough to explain the flaw in my plan. I had decided that Mondays and Tuesdays are lecture days. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are dedicated to reading (and posting to discussion boards if necessary). I'm a really slow reader. On Saturday I catch up on assignments for 2600, and Sunday I do whatever else I haven't done yet, which is typically a lot and includes reading announcements, exploring other parts of Blackboard that aren't required, and checking my email...in that order.

So last night at around 10:30 I finally got to reading through class announcements and my email, where I discovered two things: I missed sign-ups for the group projects, and I didn't see that we didn't have to post our Zotero demonstration until next week.

Ok so being slow definitely does not pay off all the time. I have no idea what group I will be put in for the group presentations in July, BUT I am done my Zotero demonstration (which by the way, is quite entertaining mostly because I was SOOOO nervous even though I practiced 4 times).

My advice to my readers... all two of you... don't be slow. But if you are, sometimes you'll win!
