The summer term is starting up tomorrow at FSU. I’m signed up for two classes at the moment: Health Information Resources and Information Architecture. I want to take both — really, really badly! – but I am not sure if I can handle two graduate classes at the moment…

(On a side note, I am also currently enrolled in CS 195 – Beginning Web Authoring – through Oregon State University, which is where I work full-time. I’m half-way through the class – it ends four weeks from now). I’m learning lotsa good stuff, by the way.

I want to learn as much as possible about librarianship – not only because it’s uh, kind-of important, but moreso because I LOVE it! Furthermore, I am working to supplement the academic experience with practical experiences – which I also love and find joy in. But, at the same time, I am keenly aware that I can’t let the full-time job that pays the bills suffer… I put 100% into that for sure… and I am putting 100% into the other responsibilities important to me: my volunteer experiences through the local public library and my internship.

As a result, it’s been a little tough to add in the weekly blog writing like I wanted, and staying on top of all my RSS feed subscriptions has been rough…When Bloglines tells me I have two thousand posts to read, it’s a tad bit daunting.

And there’s that thing called family that needs to fit in too…

Ah, the joys of work-life balance!

So yup, I’m purty busy… yup, my brain is ’bout to explode… Nah, I don’t get much sleep… But there are other folks who are doing twice as much as me…(How the heck do y’all do that, by the way?! Please share your secrets with me!)

So… back to the original question: shall I jump in and take the two courses or just one…?
