YAY US! (Day 12)

Guess where I spent most of today. Go on, guess.

That’s not right, but it’s close enough for points (except for those of you who didn’t guess, in which case....well you’re just no fun now are you?

It was in a tent!
In my yard, like 12 feet away from my house
But still, I set up a tent and I’m happy about it.

While I was in that tent my sister called to wish me a happy Easter (btw, happy Easter BEDA) and somehow we got onto the subject of computers, then wireless internet, which leads to internet in general (well, you know how it goes) and it lead all the way back to me doing BEDA.

To which my sister (my lovely and supporting sister) replies, “What do you have to talk about, how you sit around all day and do nothing exciting”

Now, in all fairness, she’s kinda right, but still.

Then I started thinking about why I was doing BEDA in the first place.
I finally made a commitment to something and am sticking it through.
I’m kind of proud of myself. I generally pride myself on my procrastination skillage and how I don’t need to study all week for tests, all I really need is to cram right before.
But these are actually bad habit that I should really break and BEDA happens to be helping me do that.
It’s not like homework where it will be there in the morning, or like a 4-H meeting where if you skip it there will be one next month.
We actually have to commit ourselves to bettering our writing skills, and even when we’re tired, beat, bushed, just don’t want to get out of bed for the life of us, we still man up (or woman up) and power through. It’s really quite incredible.
YAY US!

And in the long run, we’ll be able to look back at this experience and say, hey. This [insert thing that needs to get done here] isn’t that bad. I have already acquired the skills to deal with this because one day Maureen Johnson woke up and used a term that sounded a little too official to tell her fans she would be blogging everyday in April. :)
