I have to put most of the blame for this on the fact that this month begins my very last MAT course at Simmons. I showed up on Thursday to the first class only to be informed that Tuesday was actually the first class. Yes, the website says differently, but there was a magical email list from which I was clearly omitted. Entirely my fault, or so declares the universe. I'll curtail this train of thought right here so we don't go down a dark and whining road. So, I was thrown into that situation pretty abruptly. It kind of felt like one of those nightmares when you're on stage and you don't know any of your lines. Everyone else in the class had received information about the obscure editions of particular books that they needed to order in advance, so I couldn't even just go to the bookstore and pick up what I needed. Nightmare.
It will be an interesting course, however dis-associated from anything I'm currently doing or pursuing in my daily life. And it only lasts a month. And then I'll officially have my Masters degree. But, it looms like a big fat raincloud over July.
Here's when I change my attitude and power through it. OK DONE! It's going to be great. I think I'm going to a spa once I'm done with mom and sister, that'll be a nice carrot.
So Monday, screw. You can't take this away from me:

she comes to me at night and torments me!
now i want to watch the crucibal.
also, i glazed over the fact that you're taking the MAT. godspeed.
i got the version of the MAT which was all about different types of trees. coniferous trees are fruit-bearing trees.
i highly suggest the book "cracking the MAT." wicked helpful.
Haha, hey becky! It's actually my Masters of Teaching in English (MAT). I took all the MTEL's already -- they were pretty obnoxious.
And I'm obsessed with The Crucible as well. Ever since 9th grade when I got my big break playing Betty Parris...
congrats on nearly being done with the MAT! i thought you got roped into some kind of learning annex type study course. that's much better than vocab and analogies.
in real life daniel day lewis usually looks like he hasn't showered in a month he's wearing a hybrid of a kilt and something found at the bottom of a bin at the buck a'pound store.
somehow in the film version of the crucible he melts my butter. it's inexplicable. that john proctor, he's a lovable fellow.
