Technical difficulties

Because this is my first blog, I am working through some of the problems that one normally encounters with new technology.

For some reason, my password didn't register on the old blog, so I guess technically, this is my second blog!

The past week has been quite a learning experience for me. I have noticed that the impitus for my organizing is when I have lost something. During the time that I spend looking for it, I put stuff away and organize. If there is not a crisis, I prefer to do other things with my time. My uploading a picture a day project has been stalled because I have not yet purged all of the junk from my room. I have, however developed an effective system for orgainzing my files and e mails. I rarely have trouble finding electronic information.

My second goal regarding communication has been going rather well. Since it is more of a "situational" goal, I only get to practice in certain situations. Luckily, business school is rife with situations where I have a diffrent point of view in a conversation. I feel that recently, I have exercised restraint when talking with someone who I would normally argue with. It is amazing how much more people are willing to say if I just shut up and let them talk. This has in most cases been a good thing and has opened my eyes to anotherr point of view.
