Final Post

Looking back on the whole blog experience I'd have to say I'm happy with some of what I've written and unhappy with others, but I figure that's probably the nature of blogs. Overall, it has been positive if a bit trying at times. When the project first started I was pretty excited, but that excitement began to fade after a while. For some reason I began to view my blog postings as a burden rather than something to look forward to. I felt like I always had to be "on" or people wouldn't read my posts, which, given that I didn't make it available for the masses, didn't happen anyway. I kind of regret that decision because with more feedback from people it might have helped drive me to make more postings and make more of an effort in how my page looked.

I think my favorite post was the one where my wife and I took our daughter to the pumpkin patch as that post best captures my feelings on that day and exemplifies the writing style that I try to get to come through that shows the "true" me.

I'd be interested in writing a blog in the future and making a public. I feel that i have some things to say on this subject and others and a blog provides the perfect forum in which to do that. It's just a matter of finding the time to do so, but that's the beauty: you don't HAVE to log in every day or every week, unless it's your homework assignment. =o]

Run of the mill post

Well, I had a chance to talk about my schedule for next semester with one of the people in charge and, despite my plea, E 406 can't count as my Capstone. But there's another option so I'm checking in to that one right now. I did get registered for a Capstone course since that was non-negotiable. Yippee. If I thought this semester was hard with my course load, next semester will be even tougher - and my little girl will be mobile, making studying quite the adventure. But it's my last semester and I need to keep plugging away.

I did get some good news just today in fact- I had appealed a class that I figured could take the place of a lower division survey class and I found out today that my appeal was accepted so that's one less class I need to take! I have a rant about a certain someone in the English department who made this process extremely difficult, but I'm going to use my better judgment here. Or save it for another post.

I just read what I've written so far and I'm totally unimpressed. In fact, I'd say it sucks. C'est la vie. Win some lose some. Until next week...

Better Late Than Never

In part two of my series of short posts, let me say that it's been a busy week and my in-laws are in town to see their granddaughter until mid-week. I guess that's not an excuse but let's just say that my mind has been elsewhere this week.

My daughter's rash has gone away and come back at least twice since I last posted, perhaps this is how it's going to go for awhile who knows.

I'm on the verge of having a total shit fit in regards to next semester and whether or not I'll be able to walk in May. Let me explain: I registered for classes, three of which are required as an upperclassmen, and I still need a Capstone class - except there are only two available this semester and they're both at the same time(s) as the other classes that I have to have. Jesus H. Christ! So now I have to go plead my case for E 406 to qualify as my Capstone due to the scheduling conflict and hope to God someone is understanding. Holy crap, I just want to be done with school and contribute to my family again - I'm not getting younger and I'm so damn close to graduating that if someone tells me I have to stay another semester in order to take ONE effing class I'm gonna shit myself. I want to be done with school. I just feel like the world is against me sometimes. I'll check in later this week and post how my plea went. Sorry for the expletives, but I'm not happy.
