5:30 - yuk.

Well, this semester I am for sure in graduate school. I felt like that last semester, too, but was too tired and lethargic (depressed maybe?) to really be productive about it.

Today, surrounded by a sense of urgency and some low level fear, I got up at 5:30 to work on homework for tonight's class (which is from 5-8). I had not intended to leave 1/2 my work until the DAY OF class - those of you who know me well know how much I hate doing that! :)

Last week (as I mentioned in the last post) I had a ton of ADPi stuff, and then recovery. It was so bad that I didn't get started doing my homework until Saturday and then I was so tired it was pretty hard to read the Law reading (you can imagine!). So I finished Law on Sunday after church, and tried to start on Capstone - but I wasn't moving very fast on that either. Blah, blah, blah, add in a bunch of misused time (from a homework perspective - though in reality it was good stuff - the Amazing Race finale with Kathryn, Sarah and the Schwartzs; outlet shopping with Sarah - a suit, two sweaters and new tennies!; movie with some gal pals)..... and here I am at 7:30, mostly done with my homework (one chapter and one article to go) and with very few breaks today to get it finalized.

But, I feel like I'm in grad school! I'm drinkin coffee, taking notes, checking email and facebook on my new laptop. Perhaps I should get that PhD after all! (apps are in, and I won't have any info until early Feb (UCLA) and early March (WSU))

Today I am looking forward to:
* Session with Ashley
* Coffee with Marquette
* MLK, Jr Luncheon (last year was awesome, I can only expect this year to be great, too!)
* Mtg with Lynn to discuss planning her sorority's mission trip
* Mtg with Courtney to get to know each other and talk about ADPi stuff
* Class (well, mostly I am looking forward to it!)

Tonight I vow to not do any homework (maybe).... but I have THREE chapters of stats homework to do (due Monday), three chapters of Law and one tab (due Tues) and some other reading, interviews, and resume etc due next Wed. How in the world you ask!~? So do I. Wish me luck!

Blessings on you and yours!

Oh...I know this last semester can be a busy one, and a bit stressful too. I am praying that you will have clarity as the finish line is in sight, and perseverance to get through this final run! YOU CAN DO IT!

I am excited we will get to chat face-to-face at the end of February!

Talk to you later
