I'm pleased to report that as of 9:30 pm last night, I am at least 1/3 of the way done with class for the semester! I finished two papers, including a prospectus for my term paper in my Rhetorical Criticism class. I'm sure that one was garbage so I'm looking forward to getting lots of feedback from the instructor. I don't know why but in a lot of my classes I really feel like the people around me know about 140% more than me. Somehow I still manage to do ok, must be pity on the part of the instructors.

I have to say, I have never really found a lot of the classes I take to be terribly challenging. I always have felt like the amount of effort I've had to expend to get an A was embarrassingly low. And it's not because I think I'm any kind of super-genius or anything. Despite my acting the contrary, I feel as if I'm really average intellectually (On the other hand, I think of myself as VERY high on the craftiness scale!). All of which leads me to believe that education is simply not setting a very high bar. Many of you are probably thinking, duh, not exactly a revelation. But I'm talking about college & grad school, not an inner city middle school with no funding. Uh, not really sure how we got here, back to a different topic.

Off to California later this week to visit a client. I'm excited to hit some warm weather. And the friendly neighborhood weatherman says we are supposed to get a dose of spring in our 'hood next week. And I hit spring break after next week's classes. All good signs of the sweet, sweet days of spring and summer ahead. Which means....

We're only about a month away from the greatest holiday in history, Opening Day of the baseball season! Wooohoooo!

Enough for now, I'll check back soon.
