I am officially sequestered in the 24-hour reading room for the next seventy bagillion hours.

Finished the last of my classes for The Dreaded Second Semester as of about an hour ago. Grabbed a table in the Quiet Reading Room, have my many various snacks, caffeine, and water....between now and Thursday night at 4 PM I am incommunicado except by email. Which I will check frequently. And I'll update the blog. Probably frequently as well. Since I'm pretty sure I have ADD.

I am feeling a little better about this semester than perhaps just a few weeks ago. Sort of like that half-empty glass didn't sprout a leak after all, and in fact instead has a leaky faucet above it. Each little mini-victory in the Study Struggle is a little droplet more. Hey, I might even move on to third semester. It's just going to take forfeiting the next, oh say 8,580 minutes of my life.

But what's a Life Goal worth without a little Sacrifice?

Make that 8,574 minutes. Took me 6 minutes longer to write this entry than I originally calculated.
