And finally, tomorrow is Friday. Even in a Ph.d. program, everything is due during the same week. I had 3 papers and a stats test due this week. But now it's all finished and I can relax until the next wave rolls in. Tomorrow I teach again about the importance of crafting a powerful introduction and conclusion to a speach. I know my students can't wait. Kristen is going on women's retreat this weekend, so I'll be chasing Meredith around by myself...should be exciting.

Tonight, we'll be watching the season premieres of The Office and Grey's Anatomy.

It's Tuesday and I'm continuing to study; at least I was until I started typing this entry. I'm starting to get into a groove trying to balence everything that's going on at school, church, and home. I'm enjoying my Ph.d. work, and I'm slowly figuring out what has to be done, and what can wait, and what may never get done. I'm teaching 24 students the skills of public speaking. They are mostly Freshmen, and mostly well behaved...actually, they are incredibly good students. The average incoming Freshmen GPA was something like 3.5 and an ACT score of 25 or above...something like that. I'm very impressed with their abilities, even the ones who hate public speaking.

Ok...back to reviewing this article called "Value and Digital Rights Managment: A Social Economics Appproach".
