Finished!

This has not been an easy month.

School has been busy this semester.

It just occurred to me that last year when I did NaBloPoMo, I was only taking one active class and TA-ing and working on my thesis. This year, I have 4 classes, and I'm RA-ing. No WONDER my posts were of a higher quality last year. I was feeling inadequate. I'm so glad I've rationalized.

Even with conference deadlines (tonight), papers due throughout the month, family time, swine flu epidemics (but I don't have it myself, knock on wood) — I made it through the month!

I am so happy I have met some new bloggers through this month. I'm looking forward to reading more and posting more quality since I'm not without the the nightly pressure to produce. Hopefully I will keep up the fight, though, and post often. I've got some ideas and I also really like my Sunday Snapshot I've started! :)

But tonight. Tonight I celebrate a month complete. A job, if not well done, then done. Sometimes being done is enough!
