time is running out for fall 2007. i have to do several things today.
1. finish my reading for the aeneid. it is actually quite interesting. i am right before aeneas'
wedding to dido. i think she commits suicide shortly after. (marriage was suicide, huh? ;)
2. i need to read two chapters for my cosc. i have a unit test tomorrow. i will finish reading
the third chapter tomorrow. of course, i had three weeks to read three chapters, but did i
read one? NO!!! why do today what you will have to do tomorrow, right?
3. begin working on my quote collection for world literature. YIKES!!!!! i have a good idea on
the quotes i'm going to use; i just need to get started. del dicho al hecho hay mucho

almost done!!
i have not blogged for awhile. i don't think it is for a lack of interest, it is for a lack of time. i am trying to wrap up my fall semester. i think we have about four weeks left. i can't wait to finish. although i must say, one of my classes has me worried. i think that is what i want to write about today: my online world literature class.
o.k., so as an english major, i'm suppose to take (must take) world literature. i should have taken it in the summer, but i didn't. so here i am taking it online now. we have read The Iliad, Trojan Women, Agamemnon and now we are reading The Aeneid. all very interesting reading. that is not my problem. my problem is that i have not received a single grade for this class. i don't know if i'm passing or falling, or WHAT???? no one in the class has received a grade. it is so frustrating because not only do i not control my grade, i don't even know what it is. what to do? the one major essay i turned in, could have been a little better, i think. but, i took my daughters to corpus christi that weekend for a birthday party. i don't regret it because it felt so good to be back in corpus christi. but, i do wish i knew what my grade is. and this brings me to my next point. why am i even doing this at my age? i'm in my mid thirties worried about whether i get an a or b? oh well, i really need to vent.
what i have learned/what i know:
in cosc: i have learned how to use power point and insert images and music files. i had to type up a resume for one lab. that was difficult since i have not had a "job" for the last nine years.
in kine: oh my goodness, i have learned about obesity, cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases. i'll tell you what, all that stuff is scary!
in world lit: I WANT MY GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what i know:
this semester has been a shot in the dark. i don't know how i will come out of it. i guess i can only wait.
