Quest 2 - Blog

I've never done a blog before but it is kind of fun! Check out this blog for those of you in reference - http://www.refgrunt.blogspot.com/. Good luck to everyone on the Tech Trek 2.0!

Quest 1 - Habits

I guess the hardest habit for me to learn of the 71/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners is to begin with the end in mind. I am usually able to persevere and attain those goals I do set but I just have a hard time setting them - maybe they just seem too final! I like to keep things open-ended but it would be good for me to become more goal-oriented.

The easiest habit would have to be accepting responsibility for my own learning. I am nearly halfway through the library and information science program at USC and since it is done at a distance, it is all up to me whether or not I get my work done. Of course play is also easy - I enjoy playing around with things on the Web and maybe this, along with my other classes, will help me become more tech-savvy.
