This moring – in about 15 minutes – my sweet sweety and I will be going to the librare in StPete. they have a huge Thomas the Train toy display set out for the kids (which Abi is completely enthralled with) and a computer bank filled solely with kid’s learning software. usuall when she’s enthralled with the computer I can sit right next to her and do a surprising amount of homework. I need to write two papers by tomorrow night, so this morning jaunt will work out well for me.

My molasses cookies are so sub-standard I am loathe to even call them cookies. That’s what I get for relying on an online recipe when I need the perfection that the oft-tried and always true Betty Crocker can deliver. drat…

I have a Professor this semester that I wish I’d met long ago. Even now, I’d like to have him as my academic advisor, but he’s going on sabbatical next semester and then retiring. I don’t think I’ve met any one person who is interested wholly in the same types of things that I am, and in most cases this guy has actually based classes on these interests. I think he wants me to double major between Creative Writing and Humanities, which would be entirely agreeable to me if I had the time. I think I’ll minor in Humanities, and move it up to a degree later after getting my MFA in C.W.
Seriously – I’m not in any way trying to sound melodramatic or anything like it – Is it wrong or selfish of me to want to do this much? While going to school I haven’t taken any time away from anybody but myself in the form of sleep. There have been times over the last few years when others have strongly hinted that I should just be happy with what I have in my job at Toro – that I should just shut up and plug away.
