Term Paper and Mother-in-Law visit

OK, I submitted my term paper for my college class today. This class was a pain in the a**, and I can't say I put forth full effort on the paper...to tell the truth, I pretty much bulls**ted my way through the whole thing! I'm pulling a B out of this class so far, and I'm good with that. Keep your fingers crossed my term paper flies. The Ol' Man's mom is visiting this week, which is cool, because we get along well (thank the Gods!). Bless her heart, every time we visit her at her house or she comes here, she brings with her tons of food. That's got to be a 'grandma" thing, because I remember my grandma always trying to feed us every time we came over. It's not like we don't have food here...the cupboards are full because (as anal as I am), we made a menu list for the week ahead and did all the shopping. But, here comes the mother-in-law, bags of groceries in tow even though we told her not to bring anything! And, it's not like you can get mad, because she's so sweet about it. She'll go with the Ol' Man on Friday to pick up the kids...and that makes me so happy! She'll get to interact with them for the week, giving me a break...and I love her for that.

School

I'm taking a Labor Market Analysis class for my Master's, and it's kicking my ass. I'm not a math wiz by any means, and this class deals with all kinds of xyz, coefficient, horizontal axis kinda stuff. To make matters worse, it's an on-line class, so I don't even have the assistance of a teacher to walk me through all this mess, AND, it's a required class for the degree...sigh. My brain hurts.

Back to School

College started for the summer term on Monday. Today is Tuesday, and I haven't done anything. I'm working on my Master's Degree in Human Resources and Employee Relations from Penn State, and it's all on line. I think on line courses are harder than attending in person. It takes more dedication. Going to school in person, all you have to do is show up and absorb the information. On line...it's all up to you. There's no one there to spoon feed you. Not to say that going to school in person is easy...it's not. But I believe that on line course take more discipline. Labor Markets...how fun does that sound?! Yeah! I can't say I'm overly enthusiastic about this course. Only 12 weeks to go!
