Yeah hopefully I'll be more able to think of funny things once finals are over in a week. In the mean time I'm just trying to survive.
As to the newcomers, I was pretty alarmed the first day to see them all posting more or less "normal" entries, which caused me to talk a lot about 30 in 30 "is" and try to provide examples of what I thought good blogging was - and I think this is waht caused some to think I was trying to be a blogbassador or something. But I can think of at least three of them that have made very substantial progress since then coming into line with the kind of blogging we expect of 30 in 30.
Personally, I see potential in these people and want to encourage them. I think its important to have some new people every year to keep it fresh, even if they aren't Fittz's.
