Hardships.

Setbacks along the way...

1. I got a notice from the middle school we had reached out to, who said that they'd already had a book drive this year, and would not like to have another. And on the same note, we haven't heard back from the elementary school at all.

1. It took a while to sit and calculate dimensions and angles,

1. and realized that I was missing A TON of hours when updating my blog,

1. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hole-punch

1. I will be at Army Basic Training and will not make it to the Reflections Ceremony.

1. I broke my fabric scissors in half.
