So just want to say I had an amazing time in Italy and got away from work long enough to miss it. Weird. I know.
Anyway this is what I'm working on. It's crunch time for my event. The booklets are printing as we speak. The last minute accommodations are being made. I have to organize the speaker order as well as make sure that the buffet/poster dinner is set. I have more name tags to print out and make. I have a program of events to make. I have to write up a mini tour of WVU.
Plus I have to write up my replacement ad and have that in the paper soon. We're looking to hire for someone in May, but August is cool too. If we don't find someone for May, I'm going to be working for Dr. Lewis for the summer, then I will train my replacement in August.
I've got a lot going on at once. I've noticed that English majors (or other English-based majors, like journalism) are required to multi-task. It's a wonderful ability to have and perfect, but sometimes it just seems like "How on Earth will I get all this done in time?" I will say, I love it when I do accomplish everything and get to relax from the work.
That's what's going on this week. Next week, RESULTS! The event is next Friday through Sunday (April 11-13). After that, it's just cleaning up and tying up loose ends for my capstone poster. The end is so close!

Marie!
That is GREAT news on the printing status! It sounds like things are really coming together for this event that you've worked (and continue to work) so hard on. I think you've really committed your time to it and it'll be very interesting to see your capstone poster presentation as I think we'll all be able to see the full process of beginning to end and all the work that went into this event. Can't wait to see everything!
Good luck on the event! Let me know how it goes! Great job!
I hope that the event was a success -- I'm sure that all of your hard, skillful work paid off! Like Meagan, I too am looking forward to see how you choose to present your work on your poster presentation.
As a non-English major, I would like to note that we have to multi task too. Espically when we take on totally unrelated minor like PWE. haha. But I'm definitely feeling the end of the semester, multi-tasking crunch. I can't tell if it's because I put things off too long or take too much on. Although I suppose things like these blog posts (which I should have been doing all semester) are a sign of my procrastination. Oh well. I'm glad your presentation went so well!
