Let’s see, well, I have gas like a motherfucker! Don’t know if I mentioned it already but Sean- jubilee, reappeared in my life. He ended up being a guest of brother David’s last Sunday. That was a shock! I haven’t seen Sean in like 5-6 years!- if not longer. He’s been texting me all day. He’s excited as hell over our reconnecting, so this should be interesting. Not sure how much he’s evolved but I know I’ve evolved a great deal. Not sure what his level of maturity is. Not sure if this reconnection would be a step forward, or going backwards but I’m willing to find out.

So far, so good. Thus far all assignments have been completed and turned in on time. I’ve been following the advice of my instructors- which is a major accomplishment for me! lol! Life is basically, a little homework/studies and a nap, and repeat! Lol. Until I get the “big” 4-5 hour sleep. But what’s most important is that I’m getting the job done. I’m doing the research, readings- active readings, and writing/taking notes, and composing drafts during my readings/note taking! As my professors tell us, one doesn’t necessarily sit down and write a research paper- the research paper is in essence a patchwork quilt which eventually comes together- gradually and routinely. As they reinforce, its all about the steps- you can’t bypass the steps. In the past, I would overwhelm myself with far too much research and then, at the last minute, a day or two before the paper’s due- sit down and try and write the research paper basically from beginning to end based upon the highlighting I did during my readings! Hey, at least I highlighted and wrote notes within my readings! Lol. This was progress for me! Today I realize, I must write the paper in pieces as I conduct the research.
