Fall 2010: Three Classes Left!

Only three more trips to SA this semester. I can't believe the first one is just about in the bag. I had my first midterms this Saturday. I don't know what I made as of yet, but I didn't pass out from anxiety, so a fair success in that respect. As I have mentioned before, this program gives exams the old school way--closed book, straight forward questions, no lifelines. It has been awhile since I had experience one of those. Our prof in the first class informed us that there was not a computer lab available, therefore we were going to have to complete the first test the really old fashioned way--good 'ol pen to paper. As a product of my times, I type nearly everything. My hand writing (I am ashamed to say) is atrocious, I heavily rely on spell check and my brain does not communicate with pen as well as it does with the keyboard. Doc my be calling my in order to translate my answers. Oh, well--at least I completed it in an acceptable time frame.

I do have to say, that I despite having to be on the road by 5am every other Saturday and the sheer exhaustion of the entire day, I am enjoying school. I am excited about working on a dissertation and play around with ideas nearly everyday. The people in my cohort are incredible and we lol every time we sit in a room together.

Important side note--my first official grade......A-! We are off to a positive start.
