As you can see, it’s been a while. In my last post, I was struggling with burnout, and that did continue for quite a while, even though I thought at the time that it was easing. I had to get an extension to finish my second assignment, but I did manage to get a very good score. Not sure how. It feels like luck rather than skill.

I talked about ePortfolios in a previous post, and this has now become a requirement of the module I’m studying. It’s a reflective log, so a blog could certainly do the job, and yet I didn’t want to pick this blog for the task.

There’s something about the Medium platform that puts me off. Certainly all the adverts and the aggressive pushing of subscriptions. I like the clean, minimal look, but I’d rather have a little bit of control over fonts and colours. And while I thought there was a sort-of built-in audience on Medium, I haven’t really found that to be the case. I don’t know where my tribe is at, but it’s not here. This place feels dead.
