East Jabrew

My roommates and I have a phrase that we use to describe a particular part of a parking lot that we call 'East Jabrew'. The phrase is used to describe something that is incredibly far away. So far, in fact, that there's no actual geographic location to describe it, so we call it 'East Jabrew'. The parking lot for our dorm is incredibly small, so they have an auxiliary parking lot that's a block away that we can use. The parking lot is incredibly big, and the way that it's structured makes it so that there is a stretch of the lot that goes really far back. This part of the lot is termed 'East Jabrew'. I invite you to use this term as you will.

Post-It Wall

So I'm back at SCSU and had my first week of classes. The best part, however, is this new project that my roommate, Angel, came up with.

Last semester she had a lot of quotes from the Bible up on the wall to inspire her. This semester, however, she has decided not to put them up and instead we are creating post it spirals all around the room.

Let me explain how it works. We created a list of rules. Basically, each of us has to try to create one post-it a day, if possible. The post-it must be a phrase, sentence, drawing, etc. that is inspirational, thought-provoking, motivating, or just funny. No unnecessary profanity, and once a post-it is made it cannot be thrown out and must remain on the wall. The post-its will be put up when they are made and made to create a spiral pattern. Once we fill up the wall space above her desk, we will expand to other areas of the room.

I like the idea, it's a way for us all to express ourselves and what we find meaningful in a creative way that we can all share. The post-its are all different colors, so it will make the white walls more colorful. And she's planning to eventually make the post-it spirals into permanent inspirational posters.
