Just got back a little while ago from the lake trip. It went pretty well, just really hot. My son's girlfriend did go with us, she seems a little shy but it is probably because she doesn't really know us yet. I remember the first time of meeting my husband's parents and feeling really nervous and a bit out of place. I just got through looking up the week 7 assignments for all my classes, so now I am feeling a bit overwhelmed again. I just need to take a deep breath and eat the elephant one bite at a time. That is an expression that my boss often uses, and that I have tried to incorporate in to my own philosophy about work and school. The only problem is that sometimes I am really sick and tired of eating elephant!! At least I am getting my blog post done early in the evening, instead of while the 10:00 o'clock news is on like I usually do. After this, I am going to finish up my last two math assignments for the class, so then I will just have English and Political Science to worry about, and studying for final exams. I may try to just take a day off that week, and do all my finals in one day, instead of dragging it out over several days. Each one gives me 2 hours to complete,  so 3 finals will be a full day. I am still struggling on a place to write about for my essay, since it has to be a place I have been, not  one that I want to go to. I guess I better get the brain percolating on that one some more tonight. I sure wish I could take a nap like my dogs are doing right now, but that just isn't an option, so I better sign off for now and get busy on other things.
