Spring Break

It is officially Spring Break at UW-Madison! One full week of no new assignments and a time to spend at home in blissful ignorance. Yeah, right!
While there are no new assignments to worry about, I have plenty on my plate. No, I can't really do too much with work since I have Spring Break this week from Orangeville Schools as well. But I have plenty to keep myself occupied with. My days are full of computer work, trying to get ahead on research for my three major papers due by the second week of May. Two are on my own, but one is a group paper. No stress; just don't let the other four people down, either. It's bad enough trying to make the grade on your own, it's ten times harder collaborating with four people you never see, have never met, and don't have any interaction with beyond the odd email. We can go weeks without contacting each other. Why? Because we all have too much to do! Group projects at the graduate level are for the birds; especially when no one is able to physically get together and compare notes. This is definitely something that needs to go away forever.
Grade so far have been acceptable. I've had to do three online tests so far this semester. Interesting when you consider that I haven't had to do this for any of my other online classes. I've passed them all with B's, but it's nerve-wracking to wait for the scores. Gives you time to really start second-guessing yourself.
Graduation has been set for Sunday, May 16th at 2:30. I really have to think about whether or not I want to go and make a decision soon. Part of me just wants to not worry about all of the hoopla. The other part of me thinks I deserve to be the center of the universe for .5 seconds as they call out my name after all of this work. I have until April 6 to make a decision. My mood will make the decision for me, but until then, I waffle on the issue.
This semester can't get over quick enough!
