I have already mentioned that taking two graduate classes this semester was too much for me. I won’t be doing that again. October was brutal with work and school, and I did not hold up well. To cope, I have taken the past couple of weeks off from homework, a decision that might not have been the wisest as far as spreading out the load, but which has helped my life and my relationships immensely. This morning, though, I realized that after next week, one of my classes will be done, and I’ll only have one assignment left in the other class.
So here’s to the light at the end of the tunnel. Here’s to taking time with family and friends rather than working on that (asinine) assignment. Here’s to road trips to Chapel Hill, trips to the zoo, and going to plays on school nights. And here’s to getting my homework done at a reasonable hour tonight. (I sure hope that last one takes place, but if it doesn’t, I have only myself to blame. And I don’t regret it a bit.)
The picture is from a trip Mike and I took to Chapel Hill this weekend to spend time with my oldest friend, the one who got married this summer. We had lunch at the Carolina Brewery and then walked around UNC’s campus. No homework was done whatsoever. It was lovely.

Yay for the light not being an onrushing train.
oh yeah man, i did the two classes thing one semester. NEVER AGAIN! i’m glad you’re almost done!
Work, 2 grad classes, and family time? That’s a full plate my friend! I’ll go to the zoo with you anytime if you need a break from homework!
We went today! I should have called you. It was cold in the morning (but nice because it was so empty) and it got so pleasant this afternoon. Next time we go, I’ll call you!
