First, Mom, I wanted to thank you. Your support means the world to me. Now I just need you to be home when I call. :)

So, classes started. I've had three of the four I'm taking. The last is a Thursday night class. All I can say is EEEEK!

The workload for this semester is tremendous. It's only been two days and I already feel behind. I know I can handle this if I try, but it's going to be really tough.

So far I have six presentations, three annotated bibliographies, a poetry compilation, twelve one page papers, seven four page papers, three short stories, one personal essay, a collection of original poetry, two long papers, and a number of short papers of undefined length to do for the semsester. There is also a number of journal exercises, and all of the reading and film exercises to complete. I think I'm forgetting stuff too. Sigh. And these are for the five hundred level classes. The one on Thursday is a six hundred level.

In addition to that I may be getting a job three days a week, and I'm an officer in the Brockport Union of Roleplayers so I am required at all meetings and events.

The weekends are my own to catch up on work and sleep and such. Plus, I have to wedge some writing an bathing time in there. Like I said, I can do; I just have to budget my time and work hard and make sure I don't get behind. I know people with this sort of class schedule who have kids and full time jobs, so I refuse to feel too sorry for myself or use the time factor as an excuse.

Mostly classes are keeping me busy but a few other things have occurred. I sprained my ankle, for example. Also, the job I may have is dependent upon the department finding a way to pay me because I am not work study. So we'll see how that goes.
