Week 12 & 13

I forgot to blog last week...

So what have I done in two weeks...

I finished the proofreading for IJSF. I don't know how many mistakes there were supposed to be, but I found kind of a lot as far as I was concerned. But since I've never done this before, who knows. Matt didn't seem bothered by it. So we sent those away to Jamie and I kept a copy so that I could proof them when they got back.

And then she sent me the new PDF and there were only 4 mistakes, two of which stemmed from my handwriting. Which is bad because I tried really hard to write neatly!

I went in today and broke down the new PDF and sent all of that away to the woman who puts things online. She works right next door and said that they would be put up soon. While I was there I also did some pull quotes for Matt from an article. I have copyediting stuff to do for Val that I've had FOREVER. I have been really bad the last week because I've been super busy, but I'm going to get on the ball. I have to; my semester is winding down!

As far as my web portfolio goes... YIKES! I have my meeting tomorrow morning. And.... I really don't know what to do. I mean, I think I know what I want to say. I want to talk about how important structure is and talk about APA style and my example would be a reference section. And I want to talk about the process of producing a journal and I have a bunch of examples for that. But none of them are really very good examples that would be easy for someone to look at and go "Oh yes, I see what she means." And really that's all I did this semester. Oh, and copyediting. But that's hard to look at too! And that's only 3 things - is that enough for a web portfolio??? AH!!
