Learning and Growing
This is the coolest thing I've seen nomadlife do thus far- and I couldn't be happier. Everyone's feelings and ideas couldn't be stronger and one post led to reactions, which led to posts, which led to more comments, which led to more posts. It was and is a thing of beauty :)
If you're anything like me, you haven't gotten jack shit of homework done since sometime last week and these sudden explosion of blogs has made it hard for you to not check nomadlife every ten minutes. Your sleep has been compromised because you simply can't stop thinking, your meetings are going hours after scheduled end times, and your 'study dates' have resulted no progression of the pile of reading staring you down every time you look at a syllabus becuase you simply cant' stop talking about what we are on the verge of.
I got an email this morning from my friend Kathrin, whos not an aiesecer, and who spent time reading the posts and the comments- and was pretty intrigued by everything and gave a lot of awesome feedback from an outside perspective. She used @ correctly and LC means Local Community kathrin :) My favorite part reminded me of some comment somewhere saying something like, it may take a long time to perfect a good idea, but once it is perfected it can be repeated rather quickly. Her take on it was "What to do when support and the want for active participation in @ grows?? See: Madison
It makes me smile to see people, in the LC and out, interested in seeing us succeed.
A lot of big things are on the horizon and I feel great to be here on the front line, even if here means its -35 out today and my face feels like its being cut in half by the wind.
My thoughts will continue to be expressed... but maybe on smaller scales at the moment... but i'm looking forward to the real life conversations where we can start covering some ground by staying focused on one issue at a time.
