April 25 Journal Project

Better late than never, I hope, here is the completed journal project that we all participated in last April. Sorry for the delay. I am lazy. I am hoping to be less lazy in the future. (The fact that I couldn't quite bring myself to use "endeavoring" instead of "hoping" there probably speaks volumes about the chances that I'll ever actually become less lazy [and the fact that I considered using "endeavoring" but couldn't allow myself to do it for vague and complex ethical reasons speaks volumes about my personality, as does the fact that I chose to confess all of this to whomever might end up reading this post]).

The project is a .pdf document, but since my computer skills are limited to setting up a free blogspace provided by google, I have no idea how to get the .pdf from my computer to your computer. So here's how you can access it: sign in to gmail under the username "april25project" with the password "journals." There should be just the one email in there, from me, with no subject heading. The document is attached. You can download it if you've got Adobe or some other program that can open .pdf files, or you can open it as a google document. You'll notice that it consists of a bunch of pages with four fields per page. They should be read top-left, bottom-left, top-right, bottom-right, respectively. So there's that.

It's formatted like that so you can turn it into a calendar. If you want to make the effort, just cut out the four fields from each page, order them, and bind them at the top, at which point you'll have a nifty desk calendar which won't actually tell you what date it is but will look kind of cool and artsy and immediately transform your desk or cubicle into an art show.

You can learn the basics of home bookbinding here. It's pretty easy, and you can move onto prettier and more complicated techniques from there.

So that's the project. I hope everyone likes it, and for those of you who participated, I thank you for your help and apologize again for not getting this done in a more timely manner. If there are any other questions, you can post them in the comments (I think).
