eeew .. work on fridaaay!

Hehe, my first day of work was great. I didn't really do too much, but the things they want me to do are pretty sweet cuz im interested in them in the first place!
They want me to research wikis, blogs, mashups, SecondLife, Elluminate and how they can all be potentially used for online courses!
Once i've mastered the applications they're going to use, they want me to create a manual to help others use it, and maybe even do workshops to help groups of prof's or students use the applications! I have to draft up a proposal to see if SecondLife is worth them venturing in to for online courses.

The job is being split between 2 people, myself and this other guy, but he hasn't accepted the job yet. This could mean that i might be assigned to the full-time position after-all! What does that mean? Well, i'll have less time on my hands than when i thought i'd be doing 15 hours, but the money will compensate for all that.

My only concern is balancing it all if i did have to do the full time thing, and asking to get off for the 2 weeks when i go home... Two weeks is a long time when it comes to work. Maybe they'll let me work from home.


Time will definitely fly by once i'm home though.
