I have to run to school in literally a minute, but felt like posting.
My school blog is now here- http://itp.nyu.edu/~lfc236/tp/index.php/ - and I am trying to post very regularly there, just for the sake of keeping everything straight. I feel like I'm learning so much, that I don't even remember what I'm learning- if that makes any sense.
School is busy. Working is almost impossible to do with all the group projects and research and lab work I have to do as well. This past week, I only worked 12.5 hours, and the week before that, I only made it to 16.5 hours. I really only have about 5 hours of actual work a week, with my current responsiblities, but I still feel guilty and slothful at work for not sticking to my 20 hour a week promise. There's also the whole thing with, I literally cannot afford to work less than 18 hours a week- that mortgage isn't going to pay itself after all.
Whatever. Sick of thinking of money.
Wow, this post is really scattered.
Anyway, I'm still having fun with school. I went past the initial exhilirated phase, and then past the oof, school is too hard and I want my mommy phase, and now I think I have entered the busy busy busy no time to breathe phase.
Also just wanted to say, that the New York Institute for Special Education for the Blind is an amazing place, and the people who work there, as well as the students, are all unsung heroes. I'm going to finish my write up about my visit there soon, and it'll be on my school blog. I spent 4 hours there on Friday, and it was fanastic. I didn't want to leave. The people there were so nice and friendly and helpful. I can't remember the last time anyone has made me feel so welcome.
Anyway, off to work on group projects for two classes. One for pcomp with the blindness stuff, and the other for comm lab, with sounds. We're supposed to put together a sound clip of 2 minutes length. The other two girls in my group are from different countries, so I think it will be rather neat to make a sound clip that incorporates music from all of our respective countries. I hope it turns out well.
