So far this weekend I have finished rewriting two papers. Tomorrow I will either rewrite another paper or start on a new paper. I had forgotten how much writing you have to do in school. It’s already my second semester and it’s still taking me by surprise. Oh well, I should be used to this by the time I start year 2.

Today I asked some folks what our schedule will be like during the summer. My program is in session year-round, but I didn’t know what that really meant during the summer months, especially August. Turns out the demands are much lower during that month. I’m really excited about this because it means we might actually be able to take a family vacation. Where? I don’t know yet. Frankly, anywhere will do.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really enjoying school. In fact, I like almost everything about it except that I don’t get to hang out with the kids on the weekends. Since my parents come over to play with them while I study, I think they’re doing just fine. It’s just good ol’ maternal guilt messing with my head.

I just decided what I’m going to do tomorrow. I’m going to write some interview questions for a study I’m conducting for the research class. I’ll have to run them through a long list of criteria to see if they make good questions. That will be new and different and fun.
