T minus 240 hours and counting!

by Kenneth on May.13, 2009, under Sidetracks

Remaining on my plate -

  1. Use document for software project – 66.67% COMPLETE
  2. The final part of my software project – 20% COMPLETE
  3. 10-15 page research paper on Iowa in the Civil War – 80% COMPLETE

Finally, one item off my list.  The Civil War presentation went well and the best part is that it is finally over.  Progress is being made on the other items, and the semester is almost done.  The wife is upstairs making dessert out of strawberries and rhubarb.  Is this heaven?  Uh no, it is academia.

Count Down Commencing – T minus 15 days

by Kenneth on May.08, 2009, under Sidetracks

The count down has truly begun.  Remaining on my plate -

  1. Use document for software project
  2. the final part of my software project
  3. 10-15 page research paper on Iowa in the Civil War
  4. 10-12 minute oral presentation of the research paper

I am sure my wife will be very happy when this is all over.  I don’t think she has ever learned what the last two weeks of a semester are like and she ends up mad at me every time.  This time she wanted to express her frustration over the computer systems at work and I didn’t care to hear about it again, since part of the problem was how she was using them.  She was not too receptive to being told that she should stop doing what she was doing.  Her claim is that she always did it that way so she was doing nothing wrong.  She doesn’t get that things change and she didn’t like being told yet again that it was her fault things were messing up.

So right now she is not talking to me, which is not necessarily bad since this leave me to get the last of my education stuff wrapped for the semester.
