This year I have a new approach to class work and managing time. Instead of signing up for group projects which are due the last 2 weeks of class, I signed up for one which is due on Wednesday and throughout the quarter. My theory in all of this is that if I spread out the work, I will be able to more fully dedicate my time and energy to each project and my exams as they come up instead of splitting all of my brain power amongst 10 different things at the end of the quarter.

Well, at least that's what my MHR 869 (Strategic Management of Human Assets) professor Dr. Steffanie Wilk said. I have to admit I'm not really ready for classes to start again either. As Professor Wilk said, and I agree, she would be more ready if it were raining or colder, but it's not. It still feels like summer and part of me wishes it still were. Although, this is my last Autumn Quarter ever.

I'm sure some of you, when you first read the title of this blog thing that I miss home. However, it means that I am literally sick at home. This is going to be a short blog due to the fact that I am still sick.Monday, I left OSU work early because I suddenly didn't feel well at all. After making zucchini bread (which is delicious by the way), I went straight to bed, and Tuesday morning woke up feeling like a semi had just ran over me. After calling in sick, Benjamin says "well you sure don't sound like it's going to be difficult for them to believe you're sick".

Now that the State Fair is over, I'm starting to settle into somewhat of a "normal" routine. I have nothing coming up that I need to leave work early for, I am able to have normal working hours and I feel as though I can be productive at both of my jobs. It's a nice feeling. I also don't feel as though I need to take work home in order to stay caught up with my work. That's also nice because I'm finally nearing the end of unpacking from the move and the wedding.

Just an aside before I begin - when the bloggers log into the dashboard to write a new post, we can see the blogs that have been written lately, if there are any new comments, etc. Today, as I was perusing through the new comments, I realized that Fisher Grad Life Bloggers are getting spammed by sites. I find it highly entertaining that we have gone from a site only our families read because they're our family to being spammed.
