A new semester--YAY!

Okay, so everyone else's semester started over a week ago. I'm finally feeling like I'm actually alive (look ma! no wheezing spells!) and part of the world so, yes, I'm excited and no, nobody's going to bring me down about it.

(I do have a lot to make up for, but I can do it. With this euphoric feeling I have today, I think I could pretty much do anything, er, but don't quote me on that tomorrow.)

My first order of business is to catch up on my class work. I think (I hope) I've gotten all that lined up, or will have within the next few days.

Then, there's the issue of OLL work. Somehow, I've misplaced my zip disk that had some of the projects left over from last semester on it. I've got to find that--or face up to the consequence of redesigning the entire newsletter that I had put together up 'til this point.

I'm also doing the Faculty Friday workshop next week (which I just found out about today). As long as I stick to the same DreamWeaver script as we worked on in class last semester, I should be okay. If a lot of questions get asked, I may very well be in trouble.

The Art Therapy project is coming along. I spoke to Dr. Millner today and the IRB stuff should be coming back within the next day or so. We're going to be working up two separate studies. I may be making a quick trip up to Vancleave, MS in a few days. One of the first grade teachers there had her students construct a book about Katrina, each kid was responsible for one page. While they weren't mass produced, they did make enough for each child/family to have one and there's one avaiable for reading in the school's library. It might be of interest to see what the little ones had to write and paint about their memories/feelings of Katrina.
