Another year done…a new one beginning…I hope it’s more fun!

I know the new year will be more fun!  I will be in school the entire year.  I sit today in the undergraduate library, having edited (again) my group’s final paper for the dreaded foundation class that deals with affinity notes and flow models and clients with obscure requests. 

Our presentation is tomorrow, so far I think I have too many minutes of stuff to talk about, but I know that I will talk too fast and so it will all work out. 

Our final paper is due Friday.  It has sections that are done.  Mine.  The rest is undone and I don’t know why.  Our group meets tonight; their goal was to have this paper done by tomorrow, I don’t see that happening when so much has not been touched.  It’s hard to work as a group when you can’t stop being a manager! 

Monday in another class a student presenter was talking about getting opinions of election data from people that are “older” and offered the possibility of getting insight from a group like the AARP.  The quote I smiled at was “those folks might be old but they still have a lot to say!”  Well.  I got my 2007 AARP card in the mail over the weekend.  I wonder if any of the other students in the class realize they have an OLD person in their midst.  And I know none of them realize how soon they too will be OLD.  It happens in a blink of an eye.

So, enough musings on the life of a student at the end of a semester at the end of a year, at the end of the old life and the beginning of the new life. 

Best wishes to all of you, thanks for your support.  I hope I see or hear from you after the holidays!
