Sir-Lists-Alot

Anybody out there like lists? I like lists. Not that I stick to them all the time. Sometimes I even write them and then lose them but when I don't they are very usefull.

It's time to write a list again. With so much to do (half of which have looming deadlines) I feel the need to organize a bit. Should help me get to the important stuff faster. At the very least it will calm me down and show me what needs done.

1. Homework (lessons 9-16)
2. Required Reading (est. 200 pages left)
3. Leadership book
4. Get back in shape =P

4. Create interesting program scinerios for the campers in PPT, HTML, FLA?, etc...)

Personal Info Blurb For Introductions: (rough)

I am 26 and I work fulltime in an engineering-consultant firm along the river in Harrisburg. I started out in '99 as a CAD technitian and migrated to different versions of CAD software, publishing and graphics, web design and database functions, web animation, and sparaticaly in there were a few bouts with presentations in power point. So I have a little knowledge in a lot of software. I suppose that just makes me dangerous, but I they keep paying me so it apparently doesn't matter. On my own time I used to play lots of online games and watch a lot of movies, but recently have been very busy with homework and stuff. As far as sports go I grew up skiing and playing volleyball, but I have taken up golf in the past few months. I am horrible at baseball, football, and basketball. I am a dog person and I have been known to listen to music 16 out of 24 hours in a day. My faith is of the utmost importance to me and has invaded the majority of my life in the past few years. Besides all that I am happy to be here and I hope we all have a good week here.

If anyone has ideas or something that might be usefull in preperation just let me know. I am uber-excited right now but their are still 2 weeks to go. Right now I'm just trying to compose myself a bit and trying to figure out (keeping in mind the age of the campers) how strong of a leadership role I need to step into. Starting off to demanding is better than not but still not good. It may not be an issue but I like to think ahead a bit. I guess I'll have to gauge it as it comes along with everything else.
