& She’ll Pretend To Be Busy When Inside She Just Wants To Cry

Sep 1, 2009

The beginning, in the first weeks of class she did everything to try and fit in but the others they couldn’t seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface and she would close her eyes when they left and she fell down the stairs; and the more that they joked; and the more that they screamed, she retreated to where she is now.

It seems to day is a first for everything or perhaps just the start of something that will encompass the reawakening of a creative soul that’s been dead for too long. I suppose as the month progresses we shall see. Today marks the first day of Ecstasy MB’s blog-a-thon in which I will attempt and hopefully succeed in blogging for 30 consecutive days. Along with that I have restarted my 365 Days Project, which I had wanted to but couldn’t bring myself to restart. I suppose it’s time to stick to my guns and follow this through– at least now I have the support system to back me.

When I last left you I had mentioned several goals that I wanted to accomplish when I returned. While admittedly some of them I did not complete, I am proud to say that I was able to complete three of the five items– which isn’t stellar but it’s still something. I’m proud of myself to say the least and I hope that my renewed vigor and determination will lend me the strength I need to successfully complete one 365 Days Project and Project: Blog. I suspect that I will have moments in which I don’t want to attempt anything, but this time around I am going to push myself, regardless of how lazy or distracted I may be.

School has recommenced once more and I hope that my 2 week hiatus will grant me the motivation I had lacked in my previous class. I’m determined to complete each assignment on time and attempt to actually read the material instead of skimming or seeking out the information I needed which is what I have been doing. I have a lot of people behind me to keep me motivated so I hope with their help I’ll be capability of accomplishing what I could not before.

In addition I have decided to branch out from World of Warcraft, though I suspect I will recommence playing, given then new expansion pack due out, and have decided to try Aion. I wasn’t able to try the beta as they did not have the option to play this weekend, but it will be open this weekend and I have pre-ordered the game so I’ll have a month and a week of play time to decide if I want to continue. Thus far every person I have spoken to who has tried it and plays WoW says I will love it, but I’m a bit skeptical. I guess I shall have to see. I do know that it will be nice to have some games to switch between instead of being completely burnt out by WoW. When I’ve tried the game I will make a point to give some insight into it and also assess if it’s a game that a WoW player would be interested in trying.

I leave you all again with not only the start of my 365 Days Project image, but also the goals I have set for myself. Perhaps this will keep me motivated to continue with the projects and assignments I have ahead.

Goals:

• Think ahead for each 365 Days Project so I’m not stumped as to what my next picture will be
• Create a list of things you need to finish, prioritizing what should be completed first
• Read the materials required of you for school and complete all assignments due in the beginning of the week
• Comment on at least 3 blogs each day
