Thanks, AD, for the TP . With the way my nose had been running, that's about right, LOL.

Week one of classes is now over, and on to week two. My other two classes start in two weeks, and as I was checking to see if they had listed the class materials for one yet, I noticed the instructor's note which explains that it is an accelerated class, which means the same material is covered as in a normal class, just in half the time. Gulp. Advanced expository and research writing!! In half the time!!!! Part of me is freaking out a little, and the rest is...strangely motivated. What can I say...I'm competitive sometimes.

The good news is the books for my class are on the way. The bad news is I have no more money. LOL just kidding, but geez, the price of textbooks. The stupid MLA style guide cost more than the English textbook. I don't mind it all the time, because of the work to go into the books by professors and editors...but not that much changes with the English language enough to require purchasing a brand new style guide. That's just my opinion.

All right, I'm heading off to bed. My head is killing me tonight. More Advil...

I hope you feel better soon, CC. And you're welcome for the link. The minute you mentioned an anthro grad program, that one popped into my head because it's got a good rep, from what I hear. You'd definitely like it out here: lots of pine trees.
