When what you thought you remembered finally comes back into the light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Well, the semester is in full swing now, and glimmers of what I learned more than 6 months ago and notes that I thought were so clear then are now coming into blurry focus. I am always so eager it get into the meat of a course and learn stuff, and I feel that we have been doing that. Building simple sites, writing code and doing the research to know the when-where-why’s of it all help me to get a sense of where I have been and where we are going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, in the beginning of the course, I set out to answer three questions every post:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. How have I “pushed my edge” professionally? Well, I have been forcing myself to maintain documentation and build a workflow reference for future work that I can build upon. The goal is to keep it simple enough that I can find information quickly, but detailed enough to address the reoccurring questions. I have also been preparing internship requests. I want to start trying this work in a real world setting, I want to be a talented someone’s apprentice!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What have I learned about Web Design that I will take into the future? I have been slowing myself down and solving a coding problem even if I don’t use the end result. I don’t want to be the type of designer (as I have been) that designs around what is accessible. I want to learn to make sense of the issue and then make a design decision from there. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. How have I “pushed my edge” personally? My parents live in the sticks….like population: 180 people kind of town. They are prepping for another crazy snowy winter and I pushed myself physically to help cut, split and stack firewood for 4 days straight. We are going to be toasty this winter!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
