Overwhelmed

This feeling should be familiar to me by now. Overwhelmed. There are many days when I wish that I could focus solely on my schoolwork. I love my job but sometimes it's too much. This is one of those times. Some days I have it totally together and I'm getting everything in on time. Now is not one of those times. I still haven't done my video for this class, I'm focusing most of my attention on my team projects with both marketing and social web, and I still have to have a conversation with a tree and write about it. Yes, a tree...and it's pouring outside. I think I'll talk to my indoor ficus instead.

So, all I can do now is hold on, dive in, and work my ass off to get back on top of it all. I know I can, I've been deeper before. My main goal: never let my teammates down.

Making New Friends

I love how at BGI, there's always someone new and wonderful to discover. This last intensive, I had the pleasure of getting to know Justin Tilson a bit more. I've known him since last year; he's C7, formerly known as Pine, formerly known as Sage. We were even in the accounting team together (and spent hours banging our heads against the virtual wall). But I hadn't yet had the pleasure of having a deep, lengthy conversation with him. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and the ease of sharing our thoughts with each other...no matter how "crazy"!
