I think I need to take a 16 week class on how to be patient.  I really do feel like I am spending too much time waiting.  I am waiting to hear back from my "advisory group" on my survey and while I wait, I find myself making changes and starting a second survey--one of open questions and thinking it would really be nice to have a focus group.  It took 3 years to get an information literacy rubric developed and accepted by our general education council.  If that's the speed of deliberation, I shall resign myself to the fact that I will not see this needs assessment administered in time for my final paper. 

Rats!
