It's December already??

Oops, has it been 5 days since I wrote my last update? Where did the days go? And what did I do??

Oh yeah, I was doing homework. Yes, this past weekend I got back my mark for my first Tech Writing assignment. It wasn't horrible, but not at all what I expected. It was humbling. I thought I was a better writer! A learning experience, right? And motivation to improve! So I spent the whole weekend at my computer working on assignment two. The cool thing about this course and the timing of it is that I get to practice at work too. Now that I have only three weeks left, I have to prep for my successor. To do that, I have to write a manual. Now to put what I've learned to work!

On top of all that, I did get to the gym. I did! AAANNND... I hit my personal bests on every leg exercise I did! Soooooo excited to feel that I am getting stronger!
