For several things that I failed to mention in the previous post, please see the comment that was left by my ever-observant sister. Thanks, J, for the additions.

In the several hours since I last wrote, the following has occurred:

1. Ethics was sad and pathetic. I could actually hear IQs ticking backwards. However, in my quest to be an upstanding young student, I opted to take the high road. I wrote 2 papers during class.

2. Chapel was great...Dr. Humphrey spoke, and her messages are always poignant.

3. MS02 was grand. But, nothing too exciting.

4. I ran into Dr. Tappy--we chatted for a moment, then he informed me that he completed reading the three papers I submitted to him. He told me that I narrowly escaped failing, and, indeed, I will have an A from him for all six credity hours. Woohoo!!! I wasn't too concerned, to be quite honest, but it's still nice to hear it from him, rather than wondering about it until the end of November when I get the rest of my grades. I'm shooting for a 4.0. Were that to happen, I would have somewhere in the 3.9 range. Ideally, it would kick up over a 3.9, but I may have to do that second term instead. At any rate, I'm guaranteed at least 24 quality points. Hurray.

5. I'm actually at work right now, just finishing up a brochure that needs to go to the printer today. Of course, I was having all kinds of problems on Publisher, so I had to work from Word instead, and that was frustrating. At any rate, at least I have something to send to the printer (Cameron) and to Don.

Colloquium, AWS dinner, groceries with Maria, homework like mad. Bye! :0)
