School and such


Well, I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into. I apologize for not posting very much, but this stinkin' school thing is keeping me really busy. I have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and Saturdays for the last few weeks, but those are done for now), and I meet with my PMBA team on Mondays, Wednesdays, and, if necessary, Fridays. Saturdays (when I don't have class from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) are used for homework. In fact, I shouldn't even be posting right now, but I'm procrastinating my homework.
I have a different class on Tuesdays than I do on Thursdays. At the beginning of the semester my Tuesday teacher told the class that he couldn't talk for 4 hours (the classes are scheduled from 6 to 10 PM), so we would have a lecture for 2 hours and then he would stick around if we wanted to work on the homework and answer any questions. I've never had to continue his homework beyond Tuesday night. I thought that was great, and I had heard rumors that a lot of the program would be like that.
Thursday, we walked into the class room and saw the US government time projected on the screen, counting down until 6:00. The very second it turned to 6:00, the professor told us all to look at the wall clock and said, "I've been teaching in this classroom for four years, and that clock has always been 5 minutes fast (it said 6:05). So, when that clock says 10:00, I don't want anyone looking at me like I'm supposed to be done, because I still have 5 minutes left." So much for that rumor!
Anyway, it's really interesting stuff, but its just hard to focus on it for four hours at a time. Basically, I'm writing this as a present and future excuse for the lack of blogs you might see. Please try not to get too angry, and I'll try to post as much as I can. Who knows, maybe you'll see a lot more posts because of my mad skills in procrastination.

Get your torch and pitchforks! We demand more blog posts!!!!

Actually, why not combine the two and post to the blog on Thursdays while that guy is talking for four hours. ;)

That really does sound nightmarish - I hope you get a bathroom break at some point. Keep at it, it will all be worth it someday!

And for now . . . PMBA SQUAD GO!

Yuck. School is yucky. It does make for a good post though. Someday you'll be glad that you did it. Keep that procrastination comin'
