Wel... I have to go back to work today. The new semester has started and I have a whole new cohort of young minds to mold. [Actually, it is technically the same cohort as last semester, only these are the ones who didn't take may classes in the fall... you following this?]
I really don't want to go to work. It's not that I have a lot of cycling to do, and I know the semester ends in mid-April, just in time for the season [and I only teach one course in the summer, so I'll have a lot of time then]...
Have you ever noticed that work is a four letter word?
I tell you Vel, I've never worked so hard as I have in the last couple of months......studying and being a student!
After 26 years in the Military I've gone back to university and have tackled a full load of classes. I go to class, try to keep up taking notes from the profs' lectures, go home, o over my notes (with the aid of my recorder), read....read.... read.....then review. Go to bed late, toss and turn with all this new info in my head then get up early and do it again.
It's paying off, but I'm all work and no play from break to break! This holiday break gave me a full month off (from school), I spent most of it working around the house getting caught up in needed areas and accomplishing many other "honey-dos".
Our semister begins on the 14th, unfortunately I miss the first week....going to be in Hawaii then on an aircraft carrier crossing the Pacific..... This will be a great experience, but it sure is going to hurt on my return to classes!
