How 'bout that Favre guy?

Yes, I know there are world events happening as I am consumed with comps. (Or should I say being consumed with being consumed?) How can I not be? The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is a nightly ritual!

But this is not about football or comedy (in a way, aren’t they the same thing? Sorry Beth.), it's about resources. Brett's being resourceful, don't ya think? I'm being resourceful as well.

As recommended, I organized resources gathered throughout my courses - binder, boxes, files, folders, bookmarks … electronic and paper. During quarter break the resources were re-organized in anticipation for comps. Felt pretty secure about it too. Although one cannot entirely anticipate the nature of the questions they will receive, piling with purpose provides a springboard for response success.

So has my purposeful piling served me well? More yes than no.

Pre-sorted and piled categories have cut down on whipping through papers like a mad-woman to locate appropriate references. That's great. But the questions contain aspects that I don't think I could have anticipated and therefore I still find myself in the library filling in the reference gaps or connecting the dots between the resources I have and the emphasis of the question.

At the end of the day (which this is) it's better to be organizationally piled than pile-challenged.
