This exchange earlier in the week sorta threw me for a loop:

What this means is, not only are two of my colleagues reading my mom’s blog, but they read it more frequently than I. Only bad things can come from this. Also, that wasn’t funny, mom. *g*

I had my first meeting with my POS committee on Friday. There were three professors present, whose job it is to make sure my planned creative component will merit a degree. One of them thought I wasn’t tackling a big enough project, one of them thought I was taking on too big a project, and the third inundated me with additional ideas and technical terms. In short, it went exactly as I had expected. Now all I have to do is do the damn thing.

As I’ve reckoned it, I need to be reading around one book and one article a week for my creative component (in addition to my other class-related reading). As of last night, most all of my books are on the way, so I’ve got maybe a week’s time before I feel I need to start reading. In about two weeks, I also need to start writing around ten pages a week. Ten pages a week doesn’t sound like all that much, I realize, but the real tough part comes in making sure that the ten pages I’m writing fit with the last ten pages I wrote as well as the next ten pages I’m going to write. Also, I need to sorta design and develop the website I’m doing my creative component on in the meantime. Sometime in November, while this semester was still a distant dream (nightmare?), I planned out my weekly work schedule, guaranteeing I had sufficient time to do my homework and work on my creative component. Of course, this was before I had a girlfriend. *g*

Speaking of her, things are still going fantastically, for those interested. We try to see each other every day, even if it isn’t for long and we don’t accomplish much more than cuddling on the couch a bit before we’re both too tired from studying to stay awake, Other times we spend huge chunks of time together and thoroughly neglect our homework (not to mention, I hate to admit, sometimes our friends). That will have to change in the near future, I guess. Pout pout.

Well, this has been a fun break in the homework, but I must get back to it, because our evening is full with dinner and a movie with oldFriend Natasha, who is briefly back in town from Minnesota. Tomorrow will hopefully involve more homework, a bit of shopping, and laundry, as I’m behind on reading, low on perishables, and wearing uncomfortable underwear.
