Now, when I opted to do this whole posting on a daily basis thing, there are two things that I did not think about. 1) How much my lazy side hates having an accountability partner. 2) What exactly I'm going to post about. Posting something new that I've learned everyday is kind of ridiculous. I mean should I post something along the lines of, 'this is the important life lesson I've learned for the day,' or should it be more like, 'so today I learned that headbanging to excitedly in the driver's seat of a car can result in a sore forehead.' Well considering that I've placed no restirictions on this er... project of mine, I see no reason as to why I can't post in something in particular that I've learned that day. Although undoubtedly my critics will point that my logic gives me a sort of way out, thus I will instead say that I will post something of the 2nd level of meaning.
Now then, what did I learn today that was of any importance was that I really do enjoy playing World of Warcraft. The reason for this, which I never really truly thought about is the social aspect. I realized that the one thing I'm going to miss is not downing dungeon bosses or getting phat lootz, it'll be talking with my guildmates on ventrilo. Being able to virtually greet everyone as I log on and work with them as a team to clear out raid dungeons. Logging on and hearing their voices and being able to laugh with people. That is what I'll miss the most. That is what I've learned today.

Your accountability partner doesn't have to contact you at all if you post. So there's that. (Well done.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think either kind of "here's what I've learned" post is acceptable. I certainly don't have a deep-seated life lesson fresh in my mind at the end of every day. Some days I learn things like, "Don't sit outside to eat your bagel sandwich at lunchtime if you are scared of birds." True story.
