critical discourse

Life is funny. At the beginning of the semester I pressed my slacks so as to be sure to look professional in all of my classes. I went to bed early, kept organized, felt like I was in charge of my destiny. Now, at semester's end, I'm living on coffee, staying up until the a.m., wearing blue jeans for the second time and some days it's just easier to knot the hair and wear flip-flops. I feel quite achieved when I even know what day of the week it is! 33 days until graduation...it seems like forever! Now I'm off to find me one of those countdown widgets...that'll help me keep track!
Have a good week everyone!

You always enter my consciousness on wings of radiant warmth and gracious comfort. I know not what fashion statement that makes. Only that your Presence always dresses my world to the "9"'s ... and brings a style that compliments every good thing in my Spirit. I do love You so, My Darling Joni!

With unbounded affection ...

You're almost there, and I'm so, so proud of you!! (((((hugs))))

Donna said...

You're in the home stretch!!!!!!!

Marge said...

It's almost over.....and I am so proud of you! And I'm betting you are still professional looking, even in the jeans and flip flops.
Remember that I was the Assistant Registrar at a small private college for 18 years.....and pajama bottoms and sweat shirts were the norm for first hour!

Sending hugs. Be blessed.

Thanks for stopping to visit my flowers this week. Have been having fun as usual in NY. Yes, the perfume of the flowers has been lovely!

My daughter has a day off today (she had to work Saturday), so off we go with the baby to the shops!

YIPPY!!!! How lucky this school district will be to have you! I am so proud of you, you had a dream and you went after it, your late nights staying up to the wee hours of reading, term papers will be gone, but now your late nights will just call for grading papers!
I love you~
