This is more personal than most of the blog posts i'm sure you have been reading but I feel it would be beneficial for me to let you know. I don't know if you knew this but Mason Woodley and I have dated since senior year of high school. We know a lot about each other and have much respect and love for one another. We recently broke up because of some upsetting circumstance and it has been a very difficult time for me and Mason as well. We had a long talk about how we are going to make things work to make our Taylor's Gift Foundation project the best it can be and not let our recent personal drama get in the way. That being said, this is not going to be easy and puts extra pressure on us to be professional and treat this as a business situation. You're not always going to be happy with the people you work with but you must be able to put personal issues aside and work towards a common goal with respect. I'm not telling you this to feel sorry for me or to go easier on us as we work together to make this legacy project amazing. I just felt that it might make me more comfortable in the classroom. I am keeping my head up and using this time to really work on myself to become someone who bears the qualities that I see in the people I look up to most. I hope you're having a great Sunday and I'll see you in class tomorrow!

Better Late Than Never

Dr. Stephens, I just wanted to say sorry for just now blogging! Getting into the stream of things always takes me a while, especially when starting a new semester. Also I wanted to let you know how I am planning on using this blog to work best. I am going to write to "nobody". I am just going to write like I was writing in a journal not as if I am writing for someone else to read. That being said, I will work my hardest to keep my grammar decent and not write like I talk (unorganized and random). My first post (after this one) is going to update you a little on my life recently so you can get a better sense of who I am and where what I talk about is coming from!
