You probably should just delete the last message I sent you and read it
for yourself in the NYT Technology section. I'm still practicing
how to do things efficiently with windows and move between web pages and
e-mail and word processing, so I practiced again on you. On closer
reading it seems the "new" univ. is only going to offer associate
degrees, but there are some other virtual universities listed. I
want to check them out myself, for something perhaps relevant to my
work, or perhaps not relevant, such as an art history course. The latest
cyber law course opened registration yesterday. I just got the
message, but cannot get through to them as their server is down.
For the last course, there were 100's on the waiting list, so I am
probably already too late to register. Then again, I thought,
"Don't register. Just read the stuff." That might be a
better alternative for me, since I already have enough going with my
"real" law courses.
As far as law courses, the professor laid on a TON of material last
night. I should have stayed late to go to the library, but I just
wanted to go home. That means I will have to go back one more time
before I can officially start my ONE week of break.
I've been working on library projects all morning.
What is the basin? Is that where the Potomac--does what? My
geographic knowledge of Washington is poor. Also, while you are
the Washingtonian, was it China who gave us the cherry trees or Japan.
You wrote China. I thought China gave us panda bears.
I'm feeling some anxiety because I have, through my own fault,
juxtaposed my final exams with planning to vist my mother in S. Fla.
The two "anxieties," the visit perhaps being the more acute, are
interweaving. However, I just don't have any windows for visiting.
I have to allot two days driving and only one day of visiting then seems
senseless, so I make it two, which means a four day trip. My best window
is to go right after finals, but when I try to think of finals, I'm
experiencing almost dread at the trip. Last time I really tried to
insulate myself by "getting into" Clearwater, visiting the libraries,
going to a movie which would never come to Alabama, and seeing the Alex.
the Great exhibit. This time I thought I would go see the Titanic
ex.
and I would like to see the Dali museum again.
I'm sorry. I'm rambling. It will take you forever to read
this, while I flip-flop with my ambivalence about going down there at
all.
I hope you are well.
