One day away from a year hear!

This is going to be a long day, but it will be a relatively stress free day. I like that. I will be spending the day watching and listening to what class mates and undergrads have to say.

I handed in one essay yesterday, and that leaves me with one more due Saturday. Four days to write it up. I have my research done, I just need to do the writing now. I have most of Wednesday, and all of Thursday to Saturday to work on it. I am really looking forward to the end of the semester.

I was thinking as I went into school yesterday that part of what has bothered me this term is the restrictions on what I can read/explore within each class. The limitations of genre reading chaff. Being required to read something, even if it fails to grab one within the first chapter, is irksome. I would like to be able to go into a class, say that this text failed to work, say why I set it down, and not be penalized for doing so. I did read some great texts in the one class however. It was also the more challenging of the three intellectually as well.

We had a great rain over the weekend, I think we received around two inches. Hopefully, this wetness will allow for some great seasonal vegetable and fruits this summer. I am looking forward to some local peaches. Last years crop was destroyed by a late frost.

One day, huh?
