A Dear One

Amazing isn’t it? I have just completed the last requirement for my Master’s degree. I don’t think it’s really hit bottom yet, but I am already feeling lighter. I have been wound into knots this past semester and at times I thought they were trying to kill me, but I’ve come out the other side,…

(or at least those who know me) I am facing up to one of the busiest, most stressful times in my life, so far. I am rapidly coming to the end of my Master’s program and as such, everything is due. With every passing minute, the pressure builds even more. I calculated all I have…

I don’t know what it is, but I really love a clean house. It just makes me happy inside when everything is put away and all the countertops have been wiped off. I can breathe easier, find things quickly and I even seem more relaxed. I am sure this means I have issues 🙂

We’re coming to you live from the ever-so-famous…San Francisco! That’s right I finally made the long trek (and I do mean long) to the upper half of this great state. So far I am still in culture-shock. It doesn’t feel like this place should be on the west coast. I keep forgetting where I am.…

Alright, I admit it. I am a sucker for the Muppets. We just stocked up on a few of the classic Muppet titles on DVD. I can’t tell you how wonderful it has been to re-watch these favorites. Besides the obvious nostalgia, they are just funny, clean, cute and the songs rock! I don’t think…

Merc and I met our friend Todd today for lunch. We chatted and sipped our beverages while we waited for our food to be delivered. I had ordered a blackened chicken mini pizza, which sounded great as I usually get the blackened chicken sandwich and have always enjoyed it. Once my pizza arrived I took…

SXSW was great. I got about 4 hours of footage for the documentary. But more importantly, I got to meet people in person that I have known from the internet for a long time. For the most part, everyone was just as I expected. It’s an interesting element of online communication, knowing people before you…

A quick update on my project… I finished my research proposal and gave my presentation. Everything went very well. They all seemed very interested and asked a lot of questions. My advisors for the project gave me the greenlight, so everything is progressing nicely. Also, I am getting great response from my potential interviewees. Many…

I am slowly making headway in my literature review. I have found a lot of good research to write into the paper, but the organization keeps turning me around in circles. Deadlines are my biggest motivator and I rarely EVER miss one, so I am not worried about it. I just wish the progress was…

So here it is…I have been avoiding my poor blog for far too long, but not because I don’t have love for the blog. I have tons-o-love for the blog. This is the last semester of my Master’s program and I am producing a documentary about blogs for my final thesis project. I have been…
