Running the Graduation Gauntlet!

Well, Thanksgiving break is over and I have officially TWO WEEKS until graduation!! Right now, I've got lots and lots and lots of things to get done - from grad school applications, to final project presentations, papers, blogs and plenty of other miscellaneous activities in and outside of school. In the midst of the madness, I'm learning that having a positive mental attitude is key... So, I've decided that I'm grabbing Mizzou "by the horns" and am going to conquer this place until Friday, December 18th! Very exciting. : )

As far as At the End of Slavery goes, Melissa and I are taking a closer look at the Google Analytics results for ateos.com and ijm.org to find correlations and draw conclusions on the work we've done in the promotion of the documentary this semester. It's all pretty interesting and we're coming across some very positive results thus far. Our PowerPoint presentation is coming together as well, so it's a good feeling to be on top of the game!

I've also been having an increasingly positive experience with Eurokulture - the European pop culture blog I've been contributing to for Clyde Bentley and Monika Fischer's journalism class.

One of my posts, France's Workout Plan, has received a pretty significant amount of comments, including one from the woman whose fitness companies and books I featured. I'm learning that it really only takes one post to make a successful and/or popular blog, so I'm considering starting a different kind of blog sometime graduation for some experimentation.

Until then, I'm focusing on getting one thing done at a time, step by step, enjoying each moment. As my Dad always says, "Cinch by the inch, hard by the yard."
