I have been back for a bit over two weeks.  The good news, we only missed one day due to Irene… The bad news, my office was without power for a week so I had to wait until after school started to track down (took me 2 days) the Bursar to get my refund check to buy books… making me about a week behind on a 200+ page a week reading load.  If I can ( Read more... )

Where did the summer go?  It was a good summer.

Ry is getting so independent that we could pop out for a few minutes and let him do his own thing.  He went to the local playground program so he didn’t sit in front of the TV all day.  Alas, with Irene coming up the coast, he may have to start school on Wednesday with a couple of last year’s ( Read more... )

School is interesting. Trying to drop a class I think is stupid.  Tried my best but just can't take it anymore.  Other two classes rock and can't wait until next semester which should prove busy, busy, busy.

I am in the mood to expound on the week beyond my tweets...

Monday, oh Monday. What a day it was.
