So I fly out to Champaign once again this Friday. Instead of putting the on-campus session mid-semester, the summer semester kicks off with the trip. I kinda wish it wouldn’t, but then the semester is only 7 weeks long. I guess I understand.<\/p>\n

Work has been ugly, y’all, and it’s taken a lot out of me. I’m not feeling my best, mentally, physically or emotionally. Not that I won’t give school my all – it takes priority over work for me, really. I just don’t feel like I’ve got the drive I had the last two semesters.<\/p>\n

As for my usual pre-semester freak-out, it’s not nearly as large. I think it will be do-able, although I’m sure there will be some moments of panic here and there. The material looks easy enough: the problem is that it’s all crammed into 7 weeks instead of 15. But here’s my semesterly list of things that really concern me anyway:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Both instructors have been changing the syllabus daily, even the assignments for the first day of class which is only days away. <\/li>\n
  2. My reference class calls for a lot of reading, and a lot of it seems redundant.<\/li>\n
  3. Boy, there’s an awful lot o’ stuff crammed in those 7 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I have no doubt I’ll survive though. I always make it through somehow.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, this trip is a quickie: I arrive on Friday night, and I leave on Monday morning. I don’t know how much blogging I’ll do or how many pictures I’ll take. I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
