School's Out!All I have to do now is re-read my paper, at work, and send it via email, at work, and I'm done! Semester 2 is in the bag.
That leaves me with a minor dilemma: what the hell do I do with my extra time for the next few weeks? I came home today dazed: it's Monday night, I should be heading to class. Instead I come home and chase the cat, and wonder whether I should go down the street and buy some coffee beans. Sounds nice but I'm really unnerved by all this extra time. I suppose now is when I should buy that digital camera and take pictures of stuff to post on my blog. I should probably also draw.
There is another dilemma I face, that many of us face. After work I feel like doing very little of anything that requires much mental effort. Which is odd, because my work doesn't require much mental effort. But all that non-effort still drains me somehow. Class tends to spark my intellectual second wind, but outside of class I have little motivation to do mental work, aside from reading or blogging (heh).
In a few weeks, though, I will start my summer class. This class will be almost entirely held online. This will be a test of my motivation, because it's far easier to go sit through a 3-hour class discussion/lecture even if you don't feel up to it, simply by going down to the campus sitting your butt in your chair. Not only will I now have to contend with warm, sunny summer weather, but I may also have to deal with online class meetings. Or however its held. I have no idea; I guess I'll find out.
Time to get that coffee. And chase the cat some more.
