April's quote of the month is my favorite. So fitting for birth month!!
"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things: of shoes- and ships- and sealing wax- of cabbages- and kings- and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings."
-Lewis Carroll

6. learn to use a semicolon.
7. you will find love.

Some notes about this quote of the month:
-If the path was straight, where would the fun be?
-I may need to learn from #3. I tend to be so focused on making it through the next major project/ step/ whatever, that it sometimes alienates me from people. Of course, other things also factor into that, not just the achievements.
-I totally agree about #6. I caught my first plagiarized paper when I was a TA because throughout the entire paper, the student couldn't use a comma correctly. Then, magically, the student used a semicolon correctly. I typed that sentence into google and voila, an Amazon book review came up. And then the rest of the paper fell apart as I found other plagiarized portions.
-I can't wait to share April's with you- my birth month got the best quote ever!

Quote of the Month
My roommates gave me the "quotable 2010 calendar" for a Christmas present, knowing how much I love quotes.
I'm posting this month's quote as a reminder for myself, and also so you can enjoy it. The bold is how it's printed on the calendar.
This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.
