Spent this day of genuflection on the sacrifices of others to work on advancing my readings and making sure to have required assignments done sooner rather than later.  I am proud of the minor accomplishments I made this weekend but the task feels endless when I look at my list.  Though, with each check mark, there is one less thing to do.  Thankfully, I have booze in the freezer to take a Victory Shot with and then spend a few hours with friends eating chocolate and watching Season 4 of Downton Abbey.  (I just want Mary to be happy!)

The readings and assignments for Week 4 will be tackled before I know it and I am grateful for the opportunity to work for what I am worth.  I am worth a lot of time and energy and I want it to show in my writing and commitment to the AAD program.

Now to sleep as Tuesdays are the 8:30AM class (bleh) and I would like to get the proper English dialect out of my head!  It may only be the start of Week 3 but one must simply not have an emotional breakdown of character so early in the term!
