Mindmapping...sketching...resume..oh my

So today im feeling a bit overwhelmed..a lot a bit actually.
Not only do i have a lot of work to do for my resume and portfolio, but today is the beginning of recruitment here at Quinnipiac. i am the vice president membership for kappa alpha theta and for the past year, and even more so in the past few months i have been planning and creating thetas recruitment. while it has been an exhausting task, it has also been rewarding and exciting. i have held numerous workshops and mandatory meetings, and along with the help of the membership committee, we have created the theme and breakdown of each recruitment party which will take place within the next few days-and yikes begin in the next few hours. I am very excited-and i may even be attempting to relax myself with the breathing techniques PB taught us today in class!

As for my portfolio process, i have been experiencing days where i feel completely on top of what i have to accomplish, and days where i feel as though i have absolutely no idea about what i got myself into. this is good, normal right?

I created a rough draft version of my mind map last week; it includes internship experience, my courses, resume information, etc. However, after seeing my classmates mindmaps i realized i may have drifted from the original task-neglecting to include some key items. i liked viewing my classmates mindmaps, in that they helped me find the words that i couldn't grasp to describe my "skills", i found that the word "software" was a better term. by seeing other students thought process i was able to learn more and get more ideas for what i will need for my own mindmap. i downloaded a 30 day trial of NovaMind for my computer and began remaking my mindmap, and will hopefully construct one that fully shows who i am and what i can do.

our next assignment is to create 24 sketches of a logo, and 12 compostitions. while i have always loved drawing and sketching, it is when i am put to the test that i sometimes panic. i think that i think too much, and try too hard to be overly creative and outrageous when i try to come up with a logo, which then makes any sort of design look way to processed and complicated. i need to break free of this and just let my creative mind go--
