I just finished the first paper of this semester.  It’s due on Thursday and it feels great to have it out of the way.  Because I am now scared again about that complex web class.  Turns out the first assignment, which was distributed a bit late, is totally on the stuff we didn’t get to cover in class!  Now I’m not panicing.  Ok.  A little.  I know the information is in the book.  But I really thought that we’d get some additional instruction rather than having to figure this all out by ourselves with the book.  If that’s all that’s going to happen I could save myself 5 hours a week and just read the book on my own.

Enough already.  I’m just quick to jump on the panic wagon about such stuff.  It will be fine.  It has to be fine, I already dropped the other class!

And did you hear?  This year, of all years, graduation won’t be at the UM stadium?  But over at EASTERN’s stadium?  Because as usual football trumps all other activity at UM, and the stadium needs renovation to get more luxury boxes in for the big supporters of the program.  Right.  THEY are more important than the students.  But really, does it matter where we graduate, as long as we graduate?  I guess not.  Well.  I know not. 

So…on I go, happy graduate student.  One paper down, a million other projects waiting in the wings.  It’s still all good.
