I really like the one about the job descripton. Needed to read it today, thanks.
Thanks for this recap, Marta! By sharing some of the wisdom you gained from ALT, I left feeling inspired and uplifted instead of grumpy and left out that I couldn't go myself. :)
So many good quotes, funny and so true. And that's seriously cool swag, far better than that given any conference I've attended.
this is a side comment: i LOVE your handwriting! how do you do it? can you tell me what kind of pen you used in that picture of your notebook?
great quotes - very inspiring! maybe someday i'll grow up to be a blogger that goes to blogging conferences :)
these were the best. can you please send them each on a postcard. in your handwriting.
everything's cooler with your handwriting.
