Right about the robe...

It's Thursday night, and I'm four days into The Masters Project. Class did start as scheduled on Monday this week, and I was right about the robe. I mean, when I uploaded the photo of me in my bathrobe as the signature photo for this blog, I conveyed that I thought I would be spending late nights in my bedtime attire working on class assignments.

Indeed, here's an accounting of the time invested so far:
-after some initial peeks into the online course management system from work, I finally started working in the GWU online system in the evening on Monday and kept going until I was hungry. I actually stayed at the office after everyone had left, until about 7:30 p.m.  After dinner at home, I worked another hour or two in my jammies.
-Tuesday evening, I worked on online assignments from 5:30 to 6:30 in the office again, then came home and fed the family, and after cleaning up from dinner spent from 9 to midnight immersed in my first big writing assignment.
-on Wednesday, I polished up my paper, and participated in more online discussion threads long after the family had turned in...I think it was finally 1:30 a.m. when I just couldn't do any more because my brain was so "spent."
-today, being mostly done with all the writing (and re-writing and self-editing, and tweaking after completing the group project in the discussion forum), I finally took a break.

Of course, as soon as I got home from work, had dinner, helped Katie with her homework, helped Justin with his homework, and walked the dogs around the block with Katie, I showered and got into my p.j.'s and realized I was done. But, oops, had to go make the coffee. Posted on Professorbergh.blogspot.com and finally got to here!

And it's only 10:01 p.m.

I'm out...........................!
