Seems like a number of the blogs I read everyday haven’t been updated in a while. They are probably burnt out with blogging or are pretty busy this time of the year.
Lately, I’ve kind of been sporadic with my blogging as I try to catch up with my MBA coursework. Being on jaiku and twitter is a bad distraction too.
I think I’m just mentally exhausted with the busy days and lack of sleep. Putting my feet up, being lazy and watching TV seems like a better option for now. I do have to make a conscious effort to post short snippets, quotes and references on my scrapbook instead.
I know what I need … a good night’s sleep, a relaxing weekend and I’m sure I’ll come back refreshed! TGIF and hope your weekend is a great one.

Hi Mel - I have been one of those guilty bloggers. I have had a really bad flu bug, then an infection and I’ve really struggled to keep going with my blog or anything else.
I think a lot of people get busy at this time of year. The kids going back to school after the summer make it feel like the start of another year - if that makes sense.
Good luck with your MBA and have a great weekend.

I know what you mean; I took several days between my own blog posts because I have been really busy. I am to the point that I have more to blog than I have time for, and instead keep carrying newspaper and magazine articles as well as Post-Its to remind me of what I want to write about. However, when the news is no longer timely, I have to let it go. I still have photos from Halloween and a reflection on a hiking trip two weeks ago!

I haven’t been updating much either. This college application process is killing me.

Heh, I don’t know if you read my blog regularly or sporadically, but I have been a little spordaic in posting. It is definitely the time of year, I’m not burnt out at all! I have ideas that I’m jotting down and I’d love to post. I’ve been reading blogs about blogging and they’ve influenced me to put effort and research into my posts. Put that on top of assignments and exams (end of my academic year) and it leads to less frequent posts!

just posted a new video and some photos of lovely Leopard. and twitter is the worst distraction, but so lovely for following similarly geeky folks and their daily trials and tribulations with tech, computers, and nerdy things.

I think the demands of getting an MBA is very taxing. I should know! You probably just need a relaxing weekend and time for yourself!

I’ve been so sick lately, so blogging has been low on the list. I’m back now, thank goodness! :D
