Driving up to school today, I was about to pass a truck, and I started reading its bumper stickers: Question Authority. Anyone but Joe. Heavily Armed Liberal Democrat. And on the side of it: I don't suffer from mental illness. I enjoy every minute of it. As I passed the truck, I caught the driver's eye, smiled and gave him the thumbs up signal and he did the same.

I feel as if I've been really busy, but I have not been working on school. Now I am faced with the memo project due next Saturday. It's not started yet. Nope. I had all week to work on it, but I didn't. Oh well. I got my tutorial back today. The teacher gives a page back with your paper all about how he came up with your grade. I believe it's called a "rubric." I thought his comments and criticism were valid. I got a B+, and I'm satisfied with that.

I go up and down with how I feel about school. Sometimes I feel disappointed in myself for not working harder and doing better. Other times I feel overjoyed that I am doing this. Today as I was heading to the library to get some coffee and meet with "my girls" before class two of my other classmates passed me and said, "Hey, where are you going? Aren't you a little early?" (They were heading away from campus.) And I said, "I'm going to the library to get some caw-fee." And they were smiling so warmly and I just felt so glad to be a part of this program and to get to meet these cool, interesting people. Don't ever let anyone tell you that librarians are boring.
