Short Wednesday Update!

The students in both classes are busily working on essay #4 right now so we are spending time this week discussing specific writing issues that the students have been struggling with in their essays recently: modifier issues, parallelism, pronoun use, and commonly confused words. I think we need this "break" so we can concentrate on something other than "race" and "touchy topics." And that's about it! Nothing too exciting going on as far as my observations but I am stressing a bit on my end as far as what I need to get done to work on this dissertation and, as always, money issues. I think I need to take some credit hours this summer (since I need 24 dissertation hours altogether) but I am not sure if that is an expense I can take on at this moment.
