Well, the first two classes are done. In the middle of a third, and starting a fourth in a week. Only four and a half classes to go until the end of the semester! I suppose it's not the best sign that I'm tired already, eh? I love the fact that I'll be done by the beginning of 2010 taking night classes, but the pace is relentless! I'm reading books on lunch hours, breaks, while visiting relatives, etc. I'm always writing a research paper of some sort or another. My favorite place to write them is on the back porch with a laptop, while smoking a cigar and having coffee. I spend 8 hours a week in classes and probably 8-10 hours a week on study and homework.

It's paying off. I got an "A" in the first two classes. Now that I've set a precedent, I've got to keep it up, right? The thing that bugs me is that I'm making sure to get 6-7 hours of sleep a night, but I'm still tired. I guess old age is sapping my vitality, eh? Coffee is starting to lose it's effectiveness.

I don't want to complain. I'm damn lucky to have the opportunity to go at my age, and between my GI bill and employer tuition reimbursement, it's pretty much completely free! Many people would give their right arm for an opportunity like this. So, I'm happy, but still tired.
