School is back in swing

This was the first week of school, and it was an extremely busy week. The first part of the week was spent stressing over financial aid, but that may finally be solved, and hopefully by next week I'll actually get money. I probably don't have to repeat how sucky this whole summer has been money-wise.

So far, it looks like my Tuesdays and Thursdays are nightmare days. My Wednesday has a few things happening, like debate practice at 6pm until about 9 or 10pm, but so far, I've managed to keep Monday and Friday free, although that might not be the case on weekends when I have to attend tournaments, of course.

Haven't had much time to do any Stickman over the last few days. It's hard to find any time to do anything these days, but as the semester is starting to settle in, I'm hoping to add more curricular activities to my life.

This semester I'm taking Documentary Film in Political Communication and Mass Communication as my two grad courses. I'm teaching interpersonal communication and acting as the senior TA for public speaking. I taught my first interpersonal class today, and the students seemed okay. They laughed at the appropriate times. Well, most of the appropriate times, at least. I also have to start to get in gear for taking my comprehensive exams in November. It's amazing how fast grad school can go.

As for my writing, I sent out a ton of short stories the other day. I have to keep convincing myself to keep trying, or I'll just blow it off and then get nothing done.

Stumble It!
