Review of Platform 9 3/4
Week 9 3/4
I am now finishing week 10 of my 100 days, but have not yet blogged about week 9. Due to the craziness of the last couple weeks and the fact that I have not added any workshops to my Project SWAG website, this review will be for the two weeks combined (hence the 9 ¾) and next week I will continue with week 10 (though technically that doesn’t make sense :-).
However, despite my lack of blogging online, these past days have been incredibly productive!
Quick recap:
May 16-17 My boarding students who usually go home for the weekend, stayed in the dorm for a mini event that one of their teachers was making.
May 18-19 We took our school on an overnight camping trip to Costanoa in Pescadero, CA. On Sunday, we stopped at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for an afternoon of fun and then headed to our campgrounds for a bonfire and BBQ. Monday morning we had a sports event and then headed to the beach before heading back home. (It was much more awesome than it sounds :-) !)
May 20 The Collaboratory in New York City. I took a red-eye flight Monday eve (the 19th), went straight to the hotel where the event was taking place and at the end of the day went right back to the airport for my flight home. Got back Tuesday night!
May 21 I was asked to attend a Charity Event in a Jewish school in Palo Alto on behalf of Chai Lifeline, an organization devoted to helping families who have children with cancer or terminal illness. I had been a volunteer in Toronto and once I moved I worked with their office in Los Angeles to create a branch in Northern California. Since the director couldn’t make it in from LA, she asked me to accept the check that was being donated.
May 23-24 I spent the weekend at my employer and her family in San Jose.
May 25 I did absolutely nothing. Just chilled on my couch all day instead of writing this!
May 26 Started off the day with STRENF by completing the MURPH Challenge at CrossFit Palo Alto. Writing this from Half Moon Bay State Beach. Doesn’t get better than that!
So not much got done in terms of writing, but Project SWAG has been developing in my head and with the connections I made at The Collaboratory, I’m making more progress than ever!
Keep Me Updated
How is your website coming along? I’d love to be kept updated :) .

I think its wonderful all the good work that you do. I did see that you took some time out for yourself. Make sure to do that from time to time otherwise you can get burned out.
Sounds like your are traveling all over. Sounds fun. My sites are coming along and I am learning a lot about WordPress. Stuff that used to take me a long time aren't taking hours anymore. I am also learning the value of low competition keywords.
:-) It is fun! I'm trying to figure out how I can spend the next several months traveling when I've got no money set aside because I spent it all traveling...
Any ideas would be helpful!
You go girl!! You are a busy bee! Good for you keep it up and the MURPH challenge makes me tired just thinking of it! Lol I'm out of shape lol Have a great day!

Half Moon Bay does bring back wonderful memories. The breakwater at Pillar Point. Great food on the Pescadero.
Thank you for inspiring another article for me! You have become an awesome traveler! ^_~
Pillar Point?
I may have been here 9 months, but I'm still learning aboutCA... I'd love excursion ideas...
Oh my. Have traveled up and down the west coast, from the tip of Baja California to the Canadian border in Washington state. Go to -> http://www.onroute.com/destinations/california/halfmoonbay.html
a mere glimpse of stuff to explore.
Pillar Point Harbor is one of the safest harbors in the US. You can kayak, camp, fish, surf and eat out. My favorite restaurant was Ketch Joanne. ^_~
