Latest Updates & Concerns

While reviewing my blog posts in preparation for writing my rough draft, due this Friday, I discovered that I discovered that I had only completed nine blog posts. The required amount of blog posts, as I am aware of, is fifteen, meaning that three should be have been done for each week during the project. I was surprised that I was short six blogs and checked to see what I had done wrong. I soon uncovered the problem and am now blogging about it to clarify the matter.  

If my blog posts are to be acutely followed, it is noticeable that there is a week-long gap between late April and early May. This gap occurs directly after the April 27 nonprofit organization meeting that seARTS participated in. Between the time of my next blog, which was a May 1 blog detailing the meeting, I had lapsed back into school work, which was preoccupying and time consuming. After having attended the nonprofit meeting, that I had contributed to through my work on the surveys, I seemed to find myself in a situation in which I had nothing to do. The nonprofit meeting had been one of the most important events of that month for seARTS. I am glad to have been able to be involved in the preparations for the meeting and to have participated in it first-hand. But since it was over,  there seemed to be no long-term projects that I could involve myself in. Until an opportunity came about, I waited and in the  meanwhile worked on school-related assignments.

This waiting period lasted for almost a week, during which I made no blog post since I had nothing to contribute to the project. In retrospect, I could have done more research on sources for my paper. But after my week-long hiatus, I once more became involved in seARTS through it's participation in the meetings between the federal economic assessment board and the Gloucester city government.
