I have been able to communicate with the people whose decisions control my life for 5 years in a non agonistic, functional, subtle, mediated manner, despite in the past being very rough with similar institutions.
I've met so many freaking awesome people that I am having to allocate time for new friendships in the future, since I can't fit them in now, with all the dating and world-scale projects, and dancing that are taking most of my time.
I think by now I have succeded in causing people to call me "giego" instead of diego, which took a lot of effort.
I have recreated the Tuesday Dinner tradition I used to have for ten years in Brazil.
I think I have helped fewer people in fewer occasions last month than I normally do, which is a bad thing, but I have accepted that that has only happened because moving 11 thousand miles is really freaking hard and I had underestimated how many different things could go wrong, so I'm not feeling bad about it.
Is "giego" a more accurate way to pronounce your name, or a nickname you prefer, or just something you use to gauge your ability to influence others' behaviour?
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do". Not "are working on". Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
