this is now a week or more old ...

holy crap - it's almost been a month since my last posting. (wait that sounds like the beginning of a confession ..)

forgive me internet, for I have sinned.
it's been a month since my last confession.

since last time i have:

finished my 3rd semester of grad school
started a year-long leadership intensive training program
continued to fall in love with this amazing woman i'll call: ami
decided to teach myself how to write left-handed out of sheer curiosity to see if and how it affects the way i think
eaten far too many cookies
been to the gym far less than planned
eaten and drank health concoctions made by a witch doctor (which doctor?)
dismantled my identities (ouch!)
and got an 'A' on an exam i didn't take*

*so, last week my class comes into take our final exam and before getting started, our professor (and my boss at my internship) starts talking to us about how much he has enjoyed the class and how we have impressed him more than any other in regards to the amount of effort we've put in and the quality of the work we've produced. he also explained that he has made every decision around the class in order to maximize our learning. then he said, "and, that being said, you've learned everything you are going to learn in this class, so there is really no point in giving you the exam since it will not teach you anything. so, i'm giving you all an 'A' on the exam and, unless you have any questions, you're free to go."

then the 11 of us picked our jaws up off the floor and took him out for a beer.

that's one of those dream situations that you always WANT to happen and think never in a million years would happen. well, i'm happy to say ... it did!


(and i never really finished writing this ... so there.

where did you get the idea to write with your left hand to see if it changes anything? because i have the same notion, though i haven't had the patience to do it for more than a minute.
