The end of BEDA is in sight
I have mixed feelings on this subject.
For one you have the “YAY! I COMPLETED BEDA!”
But then you have the, “wait, I completED BEDA.”
I’m really going to miss it.
I’ve really come to enjoy sitting at my computer writing something every day.
It’s just who I am now.
It was a pain in the ass when I first started out. I had days where I didn’t want to write anything but I just got up and did it, which is more than I can say for countless homework assignments that were completed on the bus on my way to school.
Most people don’t get it but for us, this is a major accomplishment.
And even if you didn’t finish at least you tried. You put yourself out there and tried something new that is actually quite difficult.
Were all of my blogs pieces of sheer brilliance… NOT BY A LONG SHOT!
But they’re out there now.
There are a few people whose blogs I have read over the month that have always been meaningful, deep, or just plain hilarious. I don’t know how they did it; how they were so truthful and how the got out what they needed to say, but I really admire them. (You might know who you are, you might not. Subject yourself for a moment)
I have also made some really great friends through this project (that’s you my BEDA buddies) and learned more about some people who I’d talked to, but didn’t really know.
I’ve also found a better way to communicate with more awesome people than myspace.
Now my attitude is basically, send me an e-mail or join the Ning if you want to talk, otherwise come find me in person. (I also accept youtube but that just…too far fetched for some of my friends)
I have also been more active in the internet community instead of just being the creeper sitting there watching everyone else have fun. Which actually was okay, I liked it, but now I don’t have to if I don’t want to. I have options, one of the best ‘shuns’.
I have even retained the way I say BEDA.
I say Bay-duh.
Not Bee-duh
Not Bed-ah
I say Bay-duh and that’s the way I like it (also it sounds like Beta, an already recognized word, giving it some distinguishment and adding to why I say it that way. it has a word buddy)
What I’m trying to say is this has been a wonderful experience.
I have been happy all month.
And I think I’m serious about that. I always have something to look forward to. i don’t know how I would have gotten through the end of the year without you guys.
You make me laugh, think, and see different sides of things I never would have thought of.
You’re all so original and use such great grammar it really makes me feel at home.
If there is one community that is the most supportive, interactive, and awesome collectively I think it is this one. (don’t even fight me on the nerdfighter ning thing, this is so the alete of the nerdfighters, you know it and you just need to accept it)
Sorry, I can’t help it, I was just in the dictionary and I LOVE DICTIONARY SEARCHING!
