Yes, its been a million years since I last wrote, and that's because I have been knee deep into school work! Yuppers! That means, late nights, sleepless "cat naps" to recharge my weary eyes from reading, and OH the reading, just tons and tons of reading!
Speaking of sleep, I have been having weird dreams recently, which might be due to the idea of looming deadlines weekly...and if not, bi-weekly. I was just talking to one of my classmates today and mentioned how Mondays in school feel almost the same as Monday's feel when you are working....aka a drag! But, somehow I will power through, especially since I am working on a paper for one class (mind you when I say working, I mean I didn't actually start yet) and a presentation/paper for another! YAY!!! grad school, the arena for challenges! I am dreaming of failing class (I figure this is normal - deep seeded fear of mine since I have ever been in school) and then I dream of someone leaving me in my life (the bf who promises that it will never happen at 2:30 in the morning) and then I dreamt last night of being a key witness to a murder...what is this supposed to represent???
On the school front, got my first couple of grades, and believe it or not, I am NOT failing! YAY Dale! I am seeing how people say that going back to school means getting back into the groove of things. I think that I am there, but I miss the weekends of nothing, which at the moment are filled with multiple 15 page articles to read in order to get ready for the next paper or presentation.
I still have no job, but at the moment I think its a good thing, I cant imagine working any time (half/quater/full) with this course load...I don't know how people do it!?! BUT - if my job was learning, and as I understand it, it is at the moment - then I am excelling and am almost able to ask for a raise! The knowledge that I gain from just about every class is amazing, and something that I can honestly say I would have never gotten while working...so yes, I think that this was the right choice for me, for right now, despite the sweat and tears, and multiple vodka shots that are used as motivation for paper completion!
Going to the NCA conference in Nov with the bf in tow and hopefully will gain the insight to either pick my topic for the proposal for my intro class or give me some motivation to make my final be a thesis instead of comps (all mumbojumbo if you don't know the context). I will be looking for organizational things in education I think......
San Deezy as I like to refer it is treating me well, other than random heat waves, I can't really complain...living in cali seems to suit me well at this point....now I just need to find me some $$$$ and we will be just fine! But, until then -I am content....
....oh and according to my text book on writing research papers....blogging is supposed to be a good exercise to get the creative writing flowing...YAY dale!
