I Changed My Mind

Well, I talked a good game about coming to terms with getting a B in this grad class, and I meant every word of it (still do).

But

I changed my mind and I have decided to give it a shot.  Which means, I decided to read class stuff instead of fun stuff on vacation AND do homework at night, wayyyyy late at night, after multiple glasses of wine and who knows what else.

This is what defeat surrender looks like.

I took a look at the readings and the discussion threads for the next two weeks.  Basically, if I hunker down and don't sleep between now and Friday, and just read and take notes continuously, and pray to the higher education gods and Jesus and the Heavenly host, I can cover enough ground to use the plane ride to write my responses.  And my next paper.

Bye Bye fun plane reading.  **sigh**  **sigh again**

THEN, late at night in the hotels after all of our vacation fun-ness, I can peck my way on G's iPad into the discussion threads so I can join the class in real time.

The story of my life.  Pecking on the computer.

This all sounds do-able in theory.  The main question is whether or not I'll be able to access the school's infrastructure from Munich and Croatia.  If I can, I'm willing to devote an hour or two, very late at night and after all the travel fun, to staying involved in class.

If I can't, all bets are off and I go back to the first sentence of this post.  Period.

You know what else this means, though?  For the first time ever, I'm planning to blog from vacation!  Cross your fingers about that as well!

OK, enough fun.  Back to reading.  About 100 pages a day.
