This week one of our assignments was to comment on other students top 5 ideas for the $100 challenge. I was really hoping for more diversity in the ideas that were presented. It seemed like most of the ideas were things youth would come up with instead of professional adults. Admittedly most of my ideas were very similar to those that were mentioned.
I did talk with my husband this week about the possibility of "setting up shop" and cutting hair once a week at his office. He said that he would propose the idea to Kevin and then let me know what his reaction is. Based on his response I will then either present the idea or change direction
For my "dream job" project I have been making a list of all the corporate companies located in Twin Falls. Over the next couple of weeks I will be emailing them to find out about internship and mentoring opportunities. I will be doing my internship in the fall, my next to last semester before graduation.
I liked working through the HHM on creativity. Although we were supposed to do just the 20 minute path, I ended up working through the whole thing because I just kept selecting "next". The information in this session was very useful and can be used for entrepreneurs or intrepreneurs. Both require an ability to look outside the box to solve problems and find inspiration. We saw examples of this in the "Boston Duck Tours" assignment.
My biggest frustration this week was that I posted my Boston Duck questions late. Yet when I posted there were only 3 others who had posted. As of Saturday at 5:30 only 6 of us have posted and I have not been able to complete this assignment yet. I think the due date is difficult to find as it is listed as Activity 6 - maybe if it were listed higher it would be noticed more easily or have 2 separate assignments, 1 for the initial post and then a "check when complete" for the discussion board responses. This is the first semester that I have had issues with how assignments are listed and posted on the "due in 2 weeks" calendar. Surprisingly this is an issue in 3 out of 4 classes.
