Well, I guess it's time to cut loose the dead and rotting parts of my current school career and deal better with the parts still breathing. *sigh* Oh well. Since I'm failing Algebra anyway, I'm going in today to change my next quarter course from Intro to Statistics to Algebra, this time as a live class with Mr. Street. It puts me back quite a bit, but I'm not giving up. I'm trying again. And in the weeks left in this quarter I'm catching up on my Technical Writing so I don't fail that too.

So I'm rather bummed about all that.

As if to prove the point that I have no business doing things like that, I was working last night after work on putting together an anthology, as it were, of my current crop of short stories to be printed by CafePress. I did what I thought was maybe an hour's worth of work, the front and back covers, formating the manuscript, etc., ... and when next I looked at the clock it was 2:30 AM. I didn't even notice the passage of time, and I wasn't tired. By contrast, when working on my Algebra time also seems to fly... and it seems I never get anywhere with it. It takes hours to do the homework. Last two quarters with Mr. Street and Mr. Walker, I could get my homework done everyday in usually an hour, as I'd go in to school to do it there before class. But with this online class I spend hours and it just seems to crawl along. Oh well. I will try again. Meanwhile I've got to pull my fat outta the fire with regards to Technical Writing.

Anyway, watch this space in the near future re: the anthology project. Or, to give it its proper name, The Curve of Shadow by Carol E. Meacham.
