It’s been a while since I last blogged as I have been really
busy with finishing off my Chartership portfolio. It’s now finished and
submitted, and all I can do is wait! It feels quite strange to have let go of
it; it’s been part of my life for over a year! If I pass, I’ll write a post on
my tips for putting together your portfolio. If I don’t pass, then it’s back to
it!
I’ve decided I’d like to give some more time to my non-LIS
interests for a while. I’ve enrolled in
Spanish evening classes, which I’m really looking forward to. I love languages
and started learning Spanish when I was at uni, but have since forgotten much
of it, so it will be good to start again and try to keep it up.
I’ve also started a new blog about something which has become
important to me recently – travel, specifically solo travel. I’ve experienced
and learnt lots during the trips I’ve done so far so I thought I should start
writing it all down. Hopefully it might be of interest or use to other people
too.
Other plans include looking into studying geology and
volcanoes in some way, picking up on the half-finished poetry collection and
the various ideas for novels that I have sitting on my computer, and starting
street or hiphop dance again.
I’m by no means reducing my LIS activities though! I will be
continuing to look after LISNPN, and within my CDG role I’m currently starting
to help plan an event for new professionals in Bristol later this year. There
is also going to be lots to do at work as the new academic year begins, with
new responsibilities and challenges, so I am expecting to be kept busy.
Good luck with the new academic year, everyone! Don’t forget
to take some time for yourself every so often.
