===How I feel about what has happened today===
+At first I felt quite daunted, but now I feel optimistic. I believe this will be worthwhile of not only my time but for those in the future who will use it. I look forward to creating something that will aid in my learning as well.

+==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)==
+
+===Sections I've been working on===
+* [[:Category:Liver - Pathology|Liver]]
+* [[:Category:Pathology Flashcards|Alimentary Flashcards - Pathology]]
+* [[Liver Flashcards - Pathology|Liver Flashcards]]
+* [[:Category:Lymphoreticular & Haematopoietic System - Pathology]]
+
+===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
+* The challenge of organizing the initial information in my sections enabled me to get a good grasp of what information was involved and what needed to be discussed.
+* I've learned so much more about internet/html usage. Although I must admit, it's easiest to copy and paste someone else's formatting to get you going!
+* I feel I have VIP access to an impressive creation. I plan on using wikivet to revise for my upcoming exams!
+* I have met the nicest "boss" I've ever worked for! Good role model :)
+
+===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
+* Making a simple change to a page heading (eg capitalizing the word system in lymphoreticular haemopoetic system) loses your links to the previous page since it is case sensitive. I think I have excess pages out there in the world wide web now.
+* I found it extremely time consuming to use images from pdf lectures yet so much easier if the lecture is in power point format.
+* Coming back to my section's homepage only to find it's been reworded and now the linked page headings don't match the rewritten subsections created by another student! I am reminded " If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here."
+* Spending a great deal of time about a topic, and then realising it's already been discussed in another section by someone else! Do you then consolidate? Leave as is? Or provide a link?
+
+===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
+* Personally, I feel a section is most manageable when assigned to one person. The initial stages involve so much rearranging of categories, it changes on a daily basis of input.
+* I would like to see the use of consistent wording, eg Clinical Signs or Clinical Symptoms. Histologically or Microscopically.
+* Having a 'web master' to point out areas that need improvement or change on a regular basis eg managing the number of subheadings in a topic
+
+===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
+* I know it could be never ending, but I would like to 'tweak' my sections
+* I enjoyed making flashcards for the liver section, and I would like to go back and make some more once I have images uploaded in the liver section.
+* I wouldn't mind being in charge of making flashcards for other sections. As a former teacher, I enjoy it!
