You know what? If you've been doing your homework and saying your prayers, graduate classes aren't too bad. Above and beyond the four classes I listed a few weeks ago, I signed up for a month-long macroeconomics class starting this last Tuesday. That brings me to 13.5 credit hours; twelve is a full load. So far I've been busy, but not stressed. There's nothing here that Drs. Christiansen and Showalter didn't prepare me for.
And I'm enjoying every single one of those five classes -- no filler electives or GE's or subjectively graded abominations. (Having only turned in two assignments, I'm leaning on some faith for that last stipulation.) This is a first for me: for all my effort picking courses, I've always seemed to end up with at least one dud.
We'll see how it goes once I start working. My first job started on Friday, when I went in for teacher training at the local Kaplan. Erin and I are in the same cohort. We're also looking variously at jobs translating for recent immigrants, doing research on campus, working at the local library, etc.
Finally, I should mention that Erin spent the last week with her parents and sisters in Decatur, city of corn. Boy is it good to have her back.
