Because posted his, I figured I'd post a similar post indicating where I was in each US census year. Of course I'm a shade younger than he is so mine will be a tad shorter, but still! – 1990 – I was in 2/3 split for grades 2 and 3 and thus learned a LOT… Continue reading (US) Census flashback/forward meme

So I'm in the midst of procrastinating again. But I honestly don't much care: the assignment's reasonably easy and I'm getting some progress done. I hope to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight get up in the morning and be more productive than I have been. And like usual when I'm procrastinating, I've gotten more… Continue reading Post Day of DH daze… and other happenings

So this week (on March 18th to be precise) I will be participating for my very first time in The Day of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH), and blogging my exploits for approximately 24 hours. I really look forward to it, as I really enjoyed reading all that transpired during Day of DH 2009… Continue reading Upcoming this week: Day of DH (and other updates)

So this weekend was productive in the WORK area but not so much in the SCHOOL area of life. Still it's been a good weekend. I got a fair bit done on two RA projects that I'm working on which was nice, and managed to procrastinate homework rather horribly. Still I got to spend a… Continue reading Social Media — time waster/procrastinator… Technology — helpful hindrance! 😉

So as you may well know, I'm a ridiculously busy person. As a result this semester, I've had a slight tendency to get stressed, complete with tense shoulders, and sleep deprivation. Not precisely my idea of a good time, but whatever. I've definitely been working on maintaining some sense of balance though. You know, fitting… Continue reading Stress and balance… time to adjust yet again…

So as you probably may have heard HuCon happened this week, which meant a fair bit of prep work, and a LOT of exhaustion after the fact. This weekend, I've been a bit less than productive, though I've already done my class readings. My RA work is going along at a snail's pace partially because… Continue reading Brief update…

Apparently I've jumped into some more social media fun (craziness). You may already know that I'm on some other sites (like oh, foursquare, twitter, facebook etc.), but I'm adoring answering formspring.me questions [at least I do when that site isn't broken]. Ask me whatever you want, really! But that aside, I joined Empire Avenue today… Continue reading Quick social media post! 🙂

So this weekend: rather unproductive in general (this seems to be a trend), but I did get a few minor things accomplished: 1. I made a weekend to-do list. If all goes as planned I'll have accomplished more than half of the immediately urgent important things on the list along with most of the life-balance… Continue reading Brief post before essay writing (yes I wanna write two papers before I sleep… We'll see how I do!)

So apparently Reading Week has come and gone and I have accomplished no more, really, than I had before. My room is a bit cleaner, DCON has come and gone (and I have two more conferences on my plate in planning capacity in the coming months), and the workshop I was to have given last… Continue reading Reading week, what reading week?

Instead of answering just any meme, ask me anything here: http://formspring.me/KiraAli (yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon! I blame two individuals whose names conveniently start with the letter 'J').
