What I've Been Doing

Earlier in the summer I kept thinking I wanted a desk and office space for all my school junk. Last year I sat my rear in the corner of my couch and piled papers and my laptop all over my sectional. Since my family had to sit on the floor while I spread out my work, and since I wore a hole the size of my rear in the couch I decided something drastic needed to be done. I started searching for desks and ideas online, then I came up with more thrifty idea. I hucked the old dinosaur of a computer out of our existing computer cabinet, dusted out a year's worth of dust, threw away papers that had been in the cabinet since Kenzie's birth and moved in. My favorite interior designer, Faith, picked out all my accessories at our new favorite store, Marshall's. I love my new space!

Early in July I set out to work on my proposal for my Master's project. I got it all typed up, all 24 pages worth, and turned into my professor. She read through it and had a ton of suggestions to make it a better, stronger proposal, I cried, called my mother for words of encouragement, rewrote the proposal, and resubmitted it. I got my professor's approval and now my proposal sits in the hands of the hospital review board. After that it has to go before SDSU's review board, then, if approved I can move forward. If I was smart I'd start working on preparing my digital storytelling piece that I will show as part of my final project, but I am not so smart and I have been playing instead.

Remember that wonderful link to the iced coffee recipe from PW. Well, after drinking a gallon of iced coffee per day, I decided that I should forgo making the magic brew for awhile. However, Robb put in a request this afternoon that I whip up another batch, I just might!

This is really what I have been doing, and why I haven't posted in several weeks. I have rediscovered the library! I have been reading through 3-4 books a week and not getting out of bed until 10 AM!
