Word of the Day: Progress

It is hard to measure at times, and at other times it's near impossible to see, but in the pursuit of any act one must recognize progress. Whether that be an extra mile ran, one more donation to the fund, or just one glimpse of excitement, true progress can not be unrecognized. Pat yourself on the back, look onto the past, and see where you came from. It's all you can do sometimes.

Work this week was boring, no getting around that. As an intern their are periods of time (sometimes days long) where their really just isn't a lot for us to do. It seems that a lot of work at this point is either to sensitive for the interns to touch, or so boring and mundane (do I really need a degree to file alphabetically?) that the work seems unrewarding. What really doesn't help is that my fundraiser is this weekend. That is right, this weekend I will see if "Frolfing for a Reason" sinks or swims. It feels like the night before Christmas, the anxious feeling of dread and excitement making each tick of the clock echo all around me.

All I can say is that I am ready. I have put in a good degree of work getting at least 6 holes sponsored for a grand total of $525 already towards the fundraising (Cha-Ching!), I've collected over $600 of raffle prizes to give out (see below), and now I just have to see if people show up (Gulp).
