Time Crunch
Time is getting short and assignments are piling up. Technically, I haven't missed a deadline yet; but, I'm not getting as far ahead with each assignment as I want to be. A big part of this is trying to manage the random and not so random outside tasks I'm having to. For example, I'm in a dispute with my ex-landlord over move-out charges and having to write letters, meet with legal and university council etc. The one that bothers me the most is the portfolio. It feels like I have so much to do for it because most of the stuff in there is from sophomore (?) year and some of it is specific to my previous self-design major. Fortunately, I do have most of the documents I need for it. I just have to print it all out or copy it to disk and write a short summary. The big projects are the matrices of meaning, two reviews of said matrices, and the transdisciplarities. It's not all going to get done by the end of this week, but it's definitely at the top of my agenda, right below writing the next portion of my thesis. Like graduate school applications, it'll be done (first version) before Thanksgiving.

Jason,
Remember that the watchword for the portfolio is "completed." The good news is that the portfolio is pass/fail, so if something is there and is okay, you are home free.
Unless you have strong personal feelings about updating it to reflect your current ideas, leaving stuff from sophomore year and a former individually designed concentration will be fine. Just let your advisor know.
Keep going.
Jason,
I agree with Harriette, as long as it is "completed" that is a good feeling. I have turned mine in already and have yet to hear from it, but I think that it looks good.
I know what you mean about the whole time crunch though. It has seemed to fly by. I have so many books and papers around for all of my classes and they do not seem to be leaving any time soon!
why is it that landlords are always a**holes? i just finished a small claims against my former landlord. its like they WANT us to live on the streets.
