It's been a hectic ten days since I last posted. Assignments keep piling up, and, much as I love school, it does seem to be taking over my life right now. Every time I finish one project there's another deadline waiting around the corner. Some of these assignments are time-consuming (last Monday I handed in one that was 65 pages long!), while others challenge my own long-held beliefs about my abilties (I actually constructed a database that worked!). I can tell my brain is stretching in new directions, and it feels good.

I would also like to note how much I love the chairs in my classrooms at school. They're all on wheels (Michelle, you might be dangerous in these rooms), most have adjustable arm rests, and they're all padded for fabulous lumbar support. This might not seem like a big deal, but when you sit in these chairs for three hours at a stretch, it's nice if your behind isn't numb or your back doesn't crack when you stand up again.
