iGSA: it begins...

..tomorrow.

Tomrrow is the day that iGSA starts! In case you don't know what iGSA is, you can read all about it here. But essentially, I've felt less smart since I've left college because I'm not constantly being assigned poems or having to calculate wave forms or asked to explain the role of red in Fargo. So isntead of just chalking it all up to a loss, each month I'm going to take a topic and spend an hour a day reading about it or rehearsing it (if it's a language) or practicing it (if it's a trade, like blacksmithing which is apaprently making a come-back). And each Friday, I do a creative project based on what I've learned/read/done/did.

This month, the first month of iGSA is gonna be "the ocean". That means marine mamals, salinity levels, tidal charts-- anything oceanic.

So yeah, that's what I'm gonna be doing. If you think it's cool, jump on in!! iGSA is not a one person thing at all. If you also feel like you could learn more about the ocean, lemme know and I'll make you an author or whatever of this blog so you can post what you are doing to get smart again as well.

Together we'll do really cool great things.

See you tomorrow!

exercise: day 1

Hooray! So today I'm kicking off an exercise project. There's nothing really interesting about it, it's pretty self explanitory. My end goal is to be an olympic archer with Steven Ray Morris.
