The Project: 52 in 52
Once upon a time, a friend of mine (the incredible Jeff Burrow) had the idea to do 52 things in 52 weeks. These 52 things would be U of T related, whether it was participating in something, showing up to an event, attending a lecture series etc. Well, said friend never went through with said project, even though it was a brilliant idea – so instead I will hijack his project and attempt to attend 52 events in 52 weeks.
Goals:
- Connect with the University in my capacity as a student, and a staff member
- See what’s going on in different departments/faculties/divisions around the University
- Learn more about myself and what my interests are/what my role is in the University
- Connect my experiences to learning/development
- Simulate the experience of a keen part time graduate student!
Rules:
- Look for diverse opportunities, step out of my comfort zone
- Attempt to participate in one thing per week
- Give myself permission to change up the schedule – life happens
- Log the experience in this blog once completed
This blog is here as a way for me to remember my experiences (because I forget things really easily), and a tool for me to reflect on each event. I'm not crazy about the layout (it annoys the heck out of me that I can't change the number of posts per line...I'm not willing to learn CSS), but this blog is also a project just for me - no publicizing, or tagging, or effort into monetization/photo naming this time.
Here we go!
