I forced myself to cut out two wonderful sections out of my term paper. I would have loved to have wrote about the blackout prevention and the current legislation facing the future of the grid, however, I had to make a decision.

Term paper = 10% of final grade
Take Home Exam = 20% of final grade

Everything is due Thursday.

Well, if you would like to read my term paper it's here.

The August 14th, 2003 Blackout

I admit.. due to poor timing, my personal stressful state of mind, this work is definately not my best...

I've class in a few minutes. I've been taking a break to blog about my life. I'm thinking that I'd like to have my friends over for the holidays (before or after). I'd like to put up my christmas tree, play some music, have a fire log burning in my fireplace, egg nog, and holiday food snacks, and play fun games. I so want my class to be over. Wouldn't that be a nice gathering?

I'm taking Friday and monday off work to work on my class term paper and take-home exam.

Tonight I have class and will probably go home to clean, take out the garbage, and maybe iron my clothes.
Tomorrow I have my class at IIT and will eat dinner in the chinatown area. I'm already salvating for it...
I'll work on and hopefully complete another topic of my term paper.. the overview of the august 14th, 2003 blackout.


I think everything is going to be ok. That's what my mom used to say to me when i got stressed out over college and feared failing. I have succeded this far.. I will succeed in the end.
