the mailman came...

...and passed me a letter, telling me to post more, since it can have some benefits.

Now, really that isn't true. The mailman didn't come with such a delivery. I, however,
was looking at the stats of my blog and saw that after more than a year I only have 52
posts. That would be less than 1 post a week. I know that this is true, not because
I counted each time I blogged and figured out if it was a week ago or more, but because
there have been months that I only posted one time or even none at all...

With my new GRAND ADVENTURE just around the corner, I hope to keep some of
you a bit more up to date with updates (haha) on this blog. Not because I don't want to
email each or you, but because I kinda think that maybe it will be a little busy with papers
and homework and just trying to keep up with university life, that I won't always be
able to update you all individually. I'd love to still hear from you all though, and will do
my best to reply to emails and such. Just bear with me, I will be doing my very best!



I found this little magazine article years ago and thought I'd post it for ya, since it says
that blogging can have benefits... :D

"If I hadn't publicly said, 'I'm running a marathon,'I might not have done it," she says. The same istrue....."

And on it goes... I'm not going to quote the whole article, since I think I'm already doing something illegal without citing it, since I don't remember where I got the article from. Anyways, so I'm going to tell you what my goal is for this year (and yes, my years start in September and go till summer holidays, than the next year starts the follow September.... :D o boy). I want to do awesome during my first year of second time round post-secondary education, and grow in many ways....! (Perhaps more in later days on the many ways?!?)

bear - I admit, I had to look this one up, which bear to use.. you know there's two spellings to the same sounding word (a.k.a. homophones - yeah I learned something last year when I worked with grade 2ers!)
