Grades

The pains of waiting!  The quarter’s grades are to be turned in by tomorrow at noon.  None of my professors have yet posted grades.  The agony!
i need to get my butt to the library at school.  i have seven books on hold.
i also found out i need to apply to officially be considered a dual-MA student.  i also need to give them more money along with that.  i wish i would have known this before…i would have applied for both at the same time.

Travel

Phoenix is further from Denver than we thought….14 hours later.

Done

As Jesus said dying on the cross, “it is finished.”  OK, well my “agony” was nowhere near comparison, but it’s finished.  Papers are done and turned in.  Now, it’s time to pack and drive for long time.

Work

Two more to go.  The 10 pager and 5 pager.  Will it all be done in 6 hours?  And, no, i’m just getting to these.

Last paper

5 pager down.  10 pager to go.  And it’s not due until tomorrow at 5, even though i’ll be busy packing and leaving for Phoenix…Estimated time of departure is 2 pm…between now and then is a visit to the Vet, packing up the car (and our bags), changing the oil (the real way, not going to Wal-Mart way), and getting as much sleep as possible because it’s going to be an 11 hour drive…and my normal bedtime is around 11.  i think i’ll take a shower (one week without shaving or showering makes one’s spouse cringe).
i can do this:
Define “The Mahdi”, “Qadaris”, “Ash’Ari”, and “ahl al-hadith” (each must be half a page)
Write a 7 page essay on the following: Discuss the main thesis of the ahl al-hadith and their response to the Mu’tazili emphasis on rationalism.
So, it’s actually only about 9 pages.  Oh, if it’s not obvious, its for the Islam class.
