Back to School
Well, the motel is NOT working for me now… their Internet seems to have crapped out and I am SO frustrated it could spit.
Last night, they had 2 wireless signals and I kept having to change from one to the other - tonight, only 1 of them is up and it is CRAPTASTIC.
2 hours, have managed about 10 Entrecard drops … and while I did manage to GET my email, have been unable to answer it, or make it from there to where I wanted to go. MSN is barely functional and i keep getting knocked offline altogether and I am CRANKY! Would have sent my students’ marked essays back to them tonight, but there is just NO way I can keep connected long enough to send out 20 emails all with files attached.
I wanted to do some research re: Canadian literature …. need to find some resources so that I can come up with a paper topic for that class, but no such luck … by the time I manage to get signed into JSTOR or wherever, my signal craps out and I get to start all over. It will have to wait until I get home, I guess. We were undecided about staying over tomorrow night …i’m done class at 2 p.m. but have a meeting here at 9 a.m. Friday … but the Internet has tipped the balance. Will drive home tomorrow and back on Friday …at least I will get a few hours of Internet time …assuming hubby doesn’t decide to throw fits about me being on the computer “ALL THE TIME!!!!” Ah, the fun of it all!
I think I’m going to enjoy all my courses this semester though … a LOT of work …but all very interesting.
If hubby wants you to graduate, I’d remind him that using the Internet is integral to your work. You are a saint. I hope your students appreciate everything you are going through.
