July 11, 2011 The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Hard to believe that the summer semester is almost over! Just this week and next, then finals. No rest for the wicked or the weary though, plenty of work still to do before it's done. I worked on my political science assignment for quite a while this evening, so it is late as I make this post. I am glad that I did not decide on a career in law. I mean, arguing is fun I suppose, especially if you think you are right, but all the legal writing and twisted, convoluted language just puts me to sleep. Law is a whole lot more boring and a whole lot less Matlock than you would believe. Oh well, got it done and that's what counts. I kind of had fun doing it too, though I am glad it's over. Still got to work on revising one essay, writing another, and some reading to do. I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow. That way I can percolate some more ideas in my brain. I find that percolating the ideas makes them richer and fuller. Like when I use my stove top camping coffee percolator instead of the electric automatic drip maker (mainly because my son broke the pot and I haven't had time to go by another one). When you percolate coffee, you do a get a richer, fuller tasting cup, even if you are using inexpensive coffee. When you use the automatic drip maker, you get a decent cup but nothing to write home about unless you use really good coffee. So I hope to have richer, fuller thoughts by the time I commit them to paper, or in this case the screen of my computer. I think the heat outside and the lack of sleep are combining to turn my brain into mush because I am running out of things to write about. I hope my brain isn't too mushy tomorrow, because I have a math test to take. At least it is air conditioned inside the OTC campus. It was even hot in the shade today, especially when the breeze quit. Maybe we will all get lucky and get some rain in the next day or so. Rain is a good thing!
