I’m very happy to report that I’ve completed and submitted my capstone project for my Masters degree. Huzzah! The project, to create a university, graduate-level course on social media and technical communication, was a big task and represents a lot of hours of work over the course of this semester. I’m very pleased to have it in the bag. I’m not quite done, however. Next Tuesday, April 26th I’ll be doing my defense presentation for my department faculty, my peers and other interested parties. As you might imagine I’m pretty nervous but also confident in my knowledge of the subject matter. And I’m looking forward to really being done. I’m…

Welcome, 2011
Had a really fantastic Christmas and New Year. While they haven’t lacked for stress and drama, the last two weeks have been informative – transitional – as the time around the new year often is. There are three relationships that got some consideration over the last couple weeks. Despite the fact that I have a blog and occasionally expound upon my feelings at length I’m generally pretty uncomfortable doing so publicly. But I feel the need to make a few comments here and now – for posterity, I suppose. The first relationship is with work – with my job, office, whatever you wanna call it. It’s not in great shape…

More people have read your shirt than my blog
I’ve had several blog-related discussions in the past week. A couple of people informed me that they’re reading my blog or have asked for the URL so they can (Hey HyperWife! Safe trip home, Mr. Darcy!). I don’t know if blogs are back “in” or what, but I think that brings my readership to five! I also had a discussion with a friend, let’s call him Viddy, about how lame and silly and self-absorbed blogs are. The truth is, I agree with him and I’m constantly trying not to be excessively lame (I’m trying now- read my older posts at your own peril) or self-absorbed (recent “year-of-me” posts not withstanding).…

I had a wonderful day!
I had a wonderful day! I woke up still feeling sick but got progressively better as the day went on. I had a nice, leisurely lunch with a good friend. I got lots done at work, far more than I expected. I went to a hockey which we won in OT after an incredible come-from-behind two goals in the final two minutes. And I got to play with my adorable one-year-old nephew (his birthday was Saturday!) and chat with old friends, new friends and lots of family. Oh, and I found out I got an ‘A’ in my class this semester (phew!). This is what life is all about. It’s…

Busy, busy, crazy busy
God, I haven’t written in SO long. Bad blogger! Quick update: work is stressful and busy my class is stressful and keeping me busy barely made it to Thanksgiving but did get some much needed R&R over that weekend Coming events: UNC CAUSE conference for work Christmas parties – including my own Christmas shopping and cards (WAY behind on that stuff) Roommate is making me nuts. There are reindeer ALL OVER. I don’t think I can make it through another year living with her. I hate clutter and there is just too much stuff in this house. Unfortunately, I also hate confrontations so I haven’t yet worked out how to…

marit’s week in review
I’m a little behind so here’s the week recap. Weekend: ‘rents had the annual Oktoberfest. Tasty beer, tasty food. Neighbors brought over a 1961 bottle of Crown Royale which, other than making my dad a bit sad to stop drinking beer, made my parents very drunk and happy. Conference in the ATL: here’s my consumer report– Sheraton Buckhead was not good. Power went out at the hotel (only the hotel, thank god the bar down the street was unaffected) for 8 hours. Whether because of that or something else the lobby and basement (where the conference sessions were being held) was without AC for the second day of the conference.…

Wednesday Evening, 10pm
I broke my rule a little bit. The 9/11 post was long so here’s a quick update my day-to-day shit: This weekend looks perfect. Football (State) on Saturday and hockey (Canes) on Sunday! Next weekend is the Oktoberfest (yes, I know it’s not October- not my decision!). All I have to do is get through the week overflowing with work and class readings. Speaking of work, I’m getting to do more stuff I want to but not getting to drop the other stuff I have to. I haven’t cracked yet but I think the strain is beginning to show. Roommate is in the throes of new-relationship joy with yet another…
