Tonight is my first night back to class this semester, which can only mean one thing. Today is Dust's semi-annual "gripe about the upcoming semester" post.
It does not feel like summer break should be over. It took me a couple of years to get used to not going to school in autumn. So, now that I am going to school, it is a little surreal. I feel like I should be too old to be on a school schedule, but I am obviously not.
Since I took nine credit hours last semester and used up my educational reimbursement allotment at work for the year, I am only taking two classes this semester. They are both concentrated at the beginning of the semester, so I actually will be done with classes for the year in early October. I am very happy about this, because I am seriously not in a school mindset at the moment.
Both of my classes have required reading before the first class, but the class I am attending tonight also requires that I hand in two write-ups of segments of the required reading tonight. This would only be mildly annoying if it weren't for the fact that I think the requirements for the paper conflict. I am supposed to write a good summary of the material that includes opinions about elements of the material, and each of the write-ups is supposed to be one page. Am I supposed to err on the side of quality or quantity? It is impossible to know with no knowledge about the instructor. At least I have a 50/50 shot.

I could only imagine how difficult it would be to go back to a school schedule.
You are so lucky. I wish I was taking a few classes right now. Oh well, I guess I'll have to read something on my own for continuing Ed. Happy learning.
I like being in school, learning things is always cool, but thinking about the time committment now that I am married with children, no way. But you aren't that way, right?
Happy semester.
Hope your class went well. Good Luck!
Hope all went well. Sounds like you need Quantity and Quality! :)
I find the first assigment for a new prof or editor to be nerve racking because you don't know what they really want at first. You'll have it down pat in a week or two. Just think you'll be done before all the good weather is gone!
