Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

This is my introspection. I do not write this hoping to be recognized or become an overnight net celebrity.

In fact, very few people know about this blog who know me personally, the rest being just fellow JS denizens.

There was no specific goal for this blog, having started out just accounts of my lessons with a smattering of how I personally deal with errant students, not even indexed for reference by anyone who might stumble upon this looking for solutions to their similar problems.

Then there was this subtle shift when things got a little more personal. I do not even think it was a slow day to day change, just that there was a little part of my brain that got explored one time I sat down to write and no additional classroom anecdote came to mind.

And as habit has it, it just grew from one small sentiment to whole posts and weeks. I cannot even pinpoint exactly when that happened; I just noticed it when it was all there.

A little more than a year ago there was the entrepreneurship angle thrown in, although not daily.

Again, this is not intended to be a what-not-to-do-when-it-is-already-too-late journal for starting small businesses.

Strangely enough, I have completely forgotten the significance of January 28 for this journal, having been overshadowed with that aforementioned proprietorship bent.

On that same day a little more than a month ago, this journal turned seven years old.

As Julia Sweeney said, that is when the God of the Catholics starts recording your sins to determine if you are going to eternal reward or eternal damnation. Before that, I guess you just went to juvenile hell.

Thirty six days after the fact (another nice round number, six squared) is when I remember and write about it.

Admittedly, it has been a roller coaster of a term so far, in terms of personal, academic and passive income life.

Just looking at the posts since the start of the term, there has been no focus, much less on my freaking actual job, which is, what was that again, oh yeah, student activities.

So there is no point to this entry. It is just meandering along, not for the first time since the start of the year.

But it is honest, if not brutally so. What would make it brutal anyway? Does there have to be profanity?

Session 2989 is even tempted to admit to a hopelessness that is really not felt. Class dismissed.
