Sigh...what can I say? I haven't had much to say lately. Tonight I have 2 papers to write, and I can't wait for this class to be over so that I can have a different "learning team." People just need to calm down. Our deadline is set; not everybody finishes assignments early. Get over it, people! Move on with your day!

We've been on the road somewhere every weekend this summer. I am tired. This weekend, my husband summarily announced on Friday night, he's going camping. He may leave Wednesday or Thursday, I don't know. Whatever. Bye.

Meanwhile, I have the aforementioned 2 papers to write, a presentation to prepare, a whole house to clean, and you know, I'd really just like to sit and watch a movie. I haven't had a chance to do that in months. Which is a pity, because we have Netflix.

As far as school goes, I feel like I'm just required to show up and pay. The teacher doesn't seem particularly interested in teaching; rather, he likes to have conversations with the class. This would be great, if we were in a social group.

I'd better start writing. It almost doesn't matter what I say, as long as I make page count.

I don't believe it!

I got another "A!" It was for my sociology class. I'm amazed. I just can't believe I did that well this time. I mean, all my papers were turned in on time and stuff, and our team stuff was done and in on time. But there was a test at the end of this one, and the instructor only gave us notes for the test at the very end. I'm amazed. But happy.

Sadly, I found out this week that my high-school history and government teacher died suddenly about a week ago. He was at a wedding and wasn't feeling well, went upstairs (wherever he was) and later, when his wife went to check on him, he was gone. He'd passed away. I graduated with his daughter, and she and I e-mailed quite a bit last year because she was planning our 20-year reunion last summer. It's so sad. He was always a fun kind of guy. My friends and I aren't old enough for this kind of thing to be hapening.

Next week I start "People and the Environment" class. I'm still waiting for my textbook to arrive. Hopefully it will get here before class starts. One can always hope.
