Ruth’s Ruckus

I just realized last night that there was only one week left to my classes.  It then occured to me that these were the last classes that I would be taking – ever.  I’m not quite sure what I will do.  I’m really not doing well in one class, but at this time I don’t really care.  I just want to be done.  I wonder if everyone feels this way at the end of their career as a student.  Well I guess I’ll be tasting freedom a week from today.  Maybe I’ll actually go to Thumpers with the gang to celebrate.  Karen’s glad to be done too,  so I guess we’ll all have a reason to celebrate.

Well the 6 hour exam is over.  I have never taken a comprehensive exam before in my life and hope to never have to do it again.  Try to remember what you have done in the last 3 years and distill it into 3 short essays.  Well I had a paper due yesterday and another due this week.  Celebrating can wait.  I’ve got to get back to work…

I am at the VDOE conference in Roanoke today.  I’ve learned a lot in the last few days.  Hopefully I’ll be able to use what I’ve learned in my everyday work.
