This is not a one-semester project!

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been turning my attention to another project for the last several days. I finished it last night and moved onto yet another project. I'm starting to feel the pressure of trying to get my portoflio done by the end of this semester. Jamming the entire process into one semester - and then taking the time out for three hurricanes to pass through - is craziness! I realized that I'm starting to make decisions based on "Do I have time?" instead of "Is this worth doing?"

One semester isn't enough time to thoughtfully build a portfolio. I've realized (and accepted) the fact that my portfolio-as-comp will be my first draft - or perhaps my second. But perhaps this "feeling' is simply reinforcing the notion that the portfolio process is lifelong professional development. It might be never feel like it's "done" or that I have enough time. I am, and always will be, trying to document a moving target.
