I just filled out my plan of study, which is a list of the classes I've taken so far and the classes I plan to take to finish my degree. It's required to file a plan of study in the semester in which students complete their 18th credit hour. As I was filling it out, I made a wonderful discovery ( Read more... )

It's no coincidence that on a day like yesterday, when I was hating school, that I got nice note from mandylyn thanking me for the graduation flowers I sent her. In the note, she says she hopes she can offer me as much support as I finish my program as I offered her through hers. Yeah, I'm going to need that ( Read more... )

That paper I've been working on? It's done! For all my grumbling about the RefWorks interface, I love it when I hit that button and SHA-BAM! my Word document gets reformatted to include my references and my bibliography gets inserted. It's a wonderful, magical thing. I also enjoy saying, "SHA-BAM ( Read more... )

By the way, "Sequestered"1 refers to the fact that I envisioned myself holed up in my apartment all weekend working on this damn paper. It has worked out that I have actually been out of the apartment more than I am on a normal weekend. Sad but true ( Read more... )

Well, I intended to work on my paper this morning but I was distracted by a thunderstorm. No, really. It rains so rarely here that when storms pop up unexpectedly, everything just kind of stops and you feel compelled to watch it rain ( Read more... )

I found a ton of info online for my paper. Then I saw some books at the UA library I wanted to take a look at so I went there this evening to get them. Eraser Boy was standing outside the library chatting on his cell phone. He was there working on homework, too. Last Saturday at saw him at the Target near my place. I keep running into him, ( Read more... )
