It is with the utmost regret that I am writing these sentences. Over the past 21 days, I have done my best to keep up with my writing and picture taking goals. Unfortunately, I have found that taking one picture a day and writing one blog post a day is not as feasible as I once thought.
For example, here was my schedule yesterday:
6:30 – Wake Up
6:35-6:45 – Get Dressed
6:45 – 7:10 – Do Homework I didn’t have time to do the night before
7:10-7:20 – Walk to school
7:20-7:35 – Eat breakfast
7:35-8:00 – Study for French Quiz
8:00-8:50 – French Class
8:50-9:25 – Study for Trigonometry Quiz
9:25-10:30 – Trigonometry Class
10:30-11:30 – Inauguration of Barack Obama
11:30-11:45 – Lunch
11:45-1:30 – NCPTT Internship
1:30 – 3:00 – Studies in Poetry Class
3:00-4:30 – Chem Lab
4:30-5:30 – FREE TIME (Worked on my computers boot loader)
5:30-6:00 – Dinner
6:00-6:10 – Walk to Prudhomme
6:10-7:00 – Watched someone play piano (They wrote a beautiful song for me)
7:00-10:00 – Speech and Debate Meeting
10:00-10:30 – Talked with roommate about something important
10:30-11:30 – Shower
11:30-12:00 – Cleaned and packed for the next day
12:00 – Finally went to sleep.
As you can see, I usually spend about 19.5 hours awake and working per day. In total, I had 2 hours and twenty minutes of free time. And believe me, that’s not a lot at all. In that time, I accomplished pretty much nothing. I made six icons for my bootloader, listened to four or five songs played on the piano by my friend, and discussed something important with my roommate. THAT WAS IT. Everything else was related to school.
So, what does this have to do with Project365? Well, on average, it takes me thirty minutes to get my picture for the day. I know it can take only a few minutes, but interrupting what I am doing is very counter productive, so I tend not to do it. Also, it’s a hassle to carry my camera with me every where I go, so I frequently have to walk to my dorm to even get my camera (Hey, carrying around a bulky DSLR isn’t that easy). Writing my blog posts take about an hour to conceive, write, and post.
With all that said, it is my official decision to end my participation in Project365, and to, instead, partake in Challenge52 (Which I totally made up). Instead of taking a picture and writing a blog post a day, I’ll take all the pictures I want and choose one that I like most at the end of the week. Then, I’ll summarize what happened during that week in a blog post. This gives me something to write, and the time to actually write it.
So, I hope this doesn’t upset anyone. It shouldn’t, seeing as I’m the only one really caring about this.
And goodbye my friends, see you next week!
