A Rose, By Any Other Name, Still Has Those Picky Things

Well, I am sitting at a table on the T-Mezzanine, it is 0747h EDT (that’s about quarter-to-eight, Eastern Daylight Time, LOL) and it is the last day of September, 2009.  I have been in school for roughly four weeks, and I am happy to be here.  It is an energy-draining (and money-draining) experience, but I am happy to be so burdened.

I do not mean to frighten anyone away from the idea of education – just be ready for its demands:  Time away from things and people you enjoy and love; eating and sleeping irregularly; trying to manage expecations others have of you AND those you have of yourself.  Often, I find the latter to be harder to manage.

I can see that contact with my friends online has sharply declined.  I do try to keep up this blog – as though I was waving a flag yelling, “I’m over here” – but I am sure that most feel I have just lept from the edge of the Earth into the unknown.  I live with the assumption that this WILL get better.  I have one month done, now, and have eight more to go before a three-month break … followed by what *should* be a twelve month co-op placement.  It hopefully means that I will be in school for eight more months, working for fifteen monts or so, then back to school for a final nine months before graduating. 

Here’s hoping.

*EDIT*

Not hoping.  I am taking this by the throat.  I WILL get my co-op, if I have to kill someone.  That goes for getting on the Dean’s list, too.

*ASIENDA EDIT*

Here are more pics. Speaking of “more”, I put “More…” tags in those other photoblog entries: They were a little overbearing.

Everyone hates D 1041. The desks are so friggin' small!
