11.09.2010 Tuesday

Tuesdays, this semester, have typically been the start of a 48 hour marathon.  It starts with taking two of the grand kids to Bible study and then bringing a luncheon back for the Gilbert Street gang.  This is immediately followed by work, class, class and home by about 9:30pm.  Wednesday continues with work early and all day then class and night class number two.  Needless to say my Thursday night is the new Friday just because I am spent.  This Tuesday though was better.  I am making progress on a researched journal article for work, the afternoon class I actually knew what the Prof was talking about and could contribute and the evening class (though I was late struggling with printer issues) was informative and practical.  I am still way behind on turning in assignments, but they are slowly making sense and should be doable in the very near future.  Why I haven't just quit has been a puzzle.  It's not really pride...paying back the loans is a concern.  I think it is more of a project that is incomplete.  I definitely am project oriented and to walk away from one this big only fifty percent complete would be quit a defeat.  I did that once in higher education and it took many years to make up the error.  I don't want to do it again.
