I missed posting yesterday thanks to the horrific weather and not being able to get a connection. I should have tried to get a post in while I was still on campus and the internet was most definitely  more stable than the one I use at home, but c'est la vie. I'm ready to drop the blogging project for this month, anyway. I truly need to get back into writing in my paper journal. It's been months, I'm sure, since I have even looked at it.

Maybe I'll try to work on actual writing instead of typing later today once the kiddos I watch have fallen asleep.

I made a 63 on my lab final. With his set 70 class average, my grade was brought up to an 85. Which is an A, by his standards. Thank goodness for curves, I do say. I might somehow pull an A out of this course. Unfortunately, I won't feel smart from it; just incredibly lucky and thankful for his guidelines.

Project 365 is goin' good. I haven't really taken any shots this week I'm proud of, but at least I'm taking some. I've started my own community on here (I'll post a link and whatnot when I get everything completed) combining the 100_snapshots community on LiveJournal (with permission) and the 365 project. I'm forming together a list of 365 words. The challenge is to choose one of those words a day and photograph your interpretation of it. Since I've already started my 365 project, and I most definiately do not want to start over, I'm tempted to either:

A) Merge the two. Meaning, from now on I'll only use the list to take a picture that day and will go a few days over my 365 project to finish the list

or

B) Continue my 365 project as I am AND do the 365 list project at the same time, no merging whatsoever


I feel like I'm cheating, in a sense, if I go with A but I'm not sure how motivated I am to do B. At the same time, a goal of mine is to become more motivated, which makes B the one I should probably do.


I have about 1/3 of the list completed. I'm going to work on it some tonight, most likely, after the kids are asleep and I've finished some of my homework. Then either tonight or tomorrow, I'm going to go through and make sure there are not any repeats or any that just do not seem possible. I plan on having the list posted on Sunday at the very latest and I plan on getting started on it probably that Monday. I'm hoping I can get other people involved; I know it will take a while, but I'm afraid it will be hard for me to be motivated without others joining in. I've asked a friend of mine to join, if nothing else just to keep me company. I might also see if MaxWell would be interested in partaking.

The geek in me is excited to be in charge of a community again; I had a writing one years ago on livejournal. It never got huge or anything, but it was still a very fun experience. I need to find a new writing community in hopes of getting some form of inspiration. MaxWell is working on a story currently, leaving me with jealous feelings. I want to having something to work on, as well. But I unlike him am braindead and continously shoot down any form of a story idea when it enters my head.

Maybe that's my problem.

Another goal: The next time I get a story idea, I'm going to just run with it, whether it is horrid or not. I need the practice.
