Send Ken To College

I have one final piece of school work left.  I have to write up a document on my independent study and submit it, otherwise it is all over but the crying.  Since I am graduation, grades have to be in by Wednesday or so.  The question is whether I will stay above 3.67 or not.  Right now I am at 3.6709.

I am also gunning for dean’s list for the third time in four semesters.  Yes, I know, I did bad one semester and missed the list because I could only manage 3.45.  If that semester had been a bit better, then I would not be on the edge right now.

Remaining on my plate -

1. Use document for software project – 80% COMPLETE
2. 10-15 page research paper on Iowa in the Civil War – 80% COMPLETE

I am THAT close to being done.  Class work should be done by the end of the week and then it is relaxation until the actual ceremony.

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.

Remaining on my plate -

1. Use document for software project – 66.67% COMPLETE
2. The final part of my software project – 10% COMPLETE
3. 10-15 page research paper on Iowa in the Civil War – 70% COMPLETE
4. 10-12 minute oral presentation of the research paper – STARTED

It really cheeses me off when I have to write a 10-15 page research paper but can barely manage 7 pages.  My topic was way too narrow.  This is far less of a problem at this point than it would be if I were working on my dissertation or thesis.

No news to report today.
