it is not something discovered, it is something molded

This week I mainly spent my time sending emails about permission to use music within my podcasts, as well as doing research for potential guests for upcoming episodes. While I was unable to accomplish much, I feel as if I learned a lot from this week. I took a moment to look back on what I have managed to finish so far, which helped me plan for what comes next.

I began to make decisions about what I can reasonably expect to complete come presentation time, and now will have to make adjustments. If I could focus 100 percent of my time on capstone, I think my original goals would be attainable, but unfortunately college doesn't function that way. Quantity does not make up for a lack of quality. I want to put my best effort into my project.

I am going to spend a few days regrouping, potentially changing 5 themes into 3 or 4. Sports, for example, had a great interview but not much extra information outside of football. I might be able to incorporate the sports information into a broader theme and expand some more. Or, I might scrap the idea of reaching out to actors and actresses, as it might take time away from contacting people who are more readily available.

I want to give myself time to really look into sound editing, and to give the podcasts the best look possible when uploading them to WordPress.

Time management has not always been my best friend, and if now is a time I can learn to adapt, then I'd like to do that and move forward. I think it was important for me to identify what I can reasonably handle. For the sake of redheads everywhere, I will continue to do my best!
