The wedding is over and all sewing was completed just in time.  There will be no more sewing for at least the next 9 weeks. 

Why?  Well, I've temporarily skipped part of step .9 (signing my soul to the student loan folks by coughing up some initial cash), finished class #1 (lots of reading, but not too hard other that that) and moved right along to an honest to goodness hard class.

I'm taking 2 classes, one online and the other on site.  The online class has some reading (including 3 short novels) and a few short papers.  the other class is Social Research Design and in 9 weeks I have to: attend 9 - 5 hour class sessions, research and write a 15 page research project (which incluldes a mandatory outline and revised outline), write 6 - 2 to 3 page essays (proper APA formatting and all that), write 8 - one page write ups on a radio program that airs weekly (which means listening to 8 hours of radio), read 9 chapters (in 6 weks), read a couple handout articles that my dictonary needs a dictonary for,  and take various quizes.  Whew!  In a normal semester I'd say it was no sweat, but in a 9 wk one, while working a 40 hr/wk job that has temporarily become my usual job AND someone else's duties while they try to fill the spot - it's a lot.  Did I mention that my instructor is a 30-something-dorky-surfing-PolySci-PhD whose speach cadience reminds me of Jim Rome?

Oh hey! look at the time!  It's Friday night and I'm sitting at home with a paper to write and 2 dry chapters to choke down.  See everyone in 2 months!
