Summer Session

I thought summer classes were supposed to be easy! At the very least, they're supposed to be easier than full semester classes.

I have a book and a half to read by Monday for Ethics (The Stranger by Camus and Siddhartha by Hesse) and I have a book to finish by Monday for College Writing (Books & Islands in Ojibwe Country by Erdrich)

I think I only have 3 or 4 more class meetings in each class, so it is getting down there, but both teachers are trying to cram as much as possible in those last few meetings. I have "final papers" due in each the week after the 4th.

Things have been piling up around here, driving me nuts. I am letting Eric have a "half birthday" party this weekend. His real birthday is late December, all his friends are busy with Christmas stuff, so he never gets to have friends over. So I am taking these boys to the lake for an afternoon of swimming, then back to the house Saturday night for movies and pizza. All this means that I have to get the house cleaned tomorrow. I have class today from 1-4, so I can get started tonight.

I'm still waiting on my damn lawnmower part, getting cranky about it, too.

And I have to assemble a new gas grill. And clean out the garage.
So much to do and yet here I sit blathering on about it on my blog instead of actually DOING THEM!
