It's almost time

Well, school has been going well, Monday is when Capstone opens. I have one week to select three questions out of 10, research and write essays on them. In lieu of a thesis, it should show the student's ability to assimilate all the information of the courses, and culminate in a logical and organized paper.

I think I should be fine, I'm a decent writer, I can type without looking at my fingers, and I bought a new bag of coffee beans! It's been an interesting ride, grad school. Some people tell me that EVERYONE in grad school gets an A or a B, yet I completely freak out if I lose a point! Different than undergrad school, where, frankly, I scraped by. But, 20 years later, I'm doing it for me, and it's in a field I truly am passionate about. I think there is a distinct advantage to getting into your career before going back, but then, some careers require it from the beginning.

So I have a new module open tomorrow for my collection development class, but I should be able to get through the reading, and work on the assignment in enough time to have the last hurrah outside for movie night. That's right, another movie night! It's getting chilly, so won't be able to have many more, and we did buy a fire pit to make a fire in case it gets cold.

Our choices for tomorrow are:
Princess Bride
Practical Magic
War Games
LadyHawke
The gun in Betty Lou's handbag
Party Girl

My personal choice I think is LadyHawke, but I'll watch anything, it's all about the friends coming over!

Well, for capstone, I'm going underground for the week, starting Monday, so I'll post when I'm done with the exam/essay. Capstone is Pass/Fail, and we won't get results until early November. If all is right with the world, it will be Pass, and December 14, I'll be done! Yay!
