I have mentioned previously that I am a non-traditional college student studying speech-language pathology.  This past week has been so hectic for me that my poor little blog has been neglected.  Imagine my surprise when I looked at my stats to see that my daily traffic has more than doubled.  Evidently Adam Jasinski from Big Brother 9 is doing quite well in the house so fans everywhere are Googling him.  Although he is the source of the majority of my traffic, I feel compelled to post a bit about my studies today.

The semester is coming to a close and I’m working on my IPA transcription portfolio as well as studying for my phonetics and anatomy and physiology finals (which are in about ten days).  I transcribed more than 400 words yesterday and sure enough, when I went to sleep I dreamed about transcription.  I sleep, and ultimately dream, to get a break from the daily grind.  Dreaming about transcription didn’t lead to beneficial sleep on my end.  I have about 2,000 more words to transcribe between now and Friday.  I predict more transcription dreams in my future.

I am loving the challenge that my studies are bringing me, it feels refreshing.  However, I wish I had better time management skills as I could have spread these transcriptions over the past few weeks.  Procrastination is a bad habit of mine.
