750words

in the midst of a manic, monday meltdown (like that alliteration?...), i learned about this project at my writing camp this morning...

750words is a website where you are challenged to write 750 words (or more) each day.  it can be about anything, it is private, and you can even gain "points" and play challenges/games with your fellow colleagues to see who can get as many points as possible... nerdy? maybe.  cool? definitely.

as i was sitting there exploring the site and, of course, listening to the lady speaking at the camp, i discovered the man who developed this project - buster benson.  this "buster benson" fella is pretty awesome... after looking at some of his other projects, i could see myself spending hours reading and exploring his sites..

so, just wanted to share this gleam of awesomeness in the midst of my monday meltdown...

mixed emotions

Well, I just took my last final exam ever.  Like EVER...

I have been going to school for 20+ years.. that's more than two decades... crazy, huh?

I feel excited, happy, sad, weird... scared... emotion overload..

My real final exam awaits in late fall of this year... I'm sure I'll have the same rush of emotions, but greater...

"80% of the final exam will be based on the one lecture
you missed and the one book you didn’t read."

the many Cs of life

One of my professors always refers to his "Cs"...

His Cs refer to things dealing with school, assignments, and what not..

Mine, I'd like to think, are essential for a happy life...

Cs for the day... commitment, communication, and compromise.
