In Pursuit of Mysteries

Me and Time

People may (or may not!) have noticed that I’m not posting much. Since getting back from Thailand, I’ve been pretty behind and have been setting priorities accordingly. I haven’t paid close attention to the ol’ blogosphere much. People who are close and longterm friends get their blogs scanned every few days but that’s about it. I’m hoping this will change soon.

I turned in a paper for each class seven to nine days late (which isn’t too bad) but the two weeks that I spent working on those papers are two weeks where I wasn’t doing my assigned class reading. This means that I’m still at least a week behind in my classes. I have received one of the papers back (I got a low ‘A’ on it for no discernable reason) and I haven’t heard back on the other. My next paper for that class is due in two weeks and will probably be a few days late. The other class is easier because it only has two more papers total, which can be short, and they are due by the end of the term. I don’t want to put them both off though because the end of the term is the last paper for the first class as well. (If that reads muddled, just read "turned in papers, lots more to do" there).

I also need to turn in an outline for my Independent Study next term on the current work on Western Esotericism in academia.

Last weekend, the Electoral College of the Ordo Templi Orientis was in town and Paul Hume stayed with us from Thursday through Sunday morning. That was fun since I’ve known Paul since the old PODSNET BBS days around 1991 or so. We had a banquet for the EC on Saturday night and I got to cart Paul around a bit (in a good way). It’s reminded me that I should probably take the next degree in that order, which I have put off for a couple of years.

I haven’t been following any dramas so if you have tried to kill anyone (including yourself) or had something else dramatic happen, let me know.

This doesn’t even deal with keeping current with my paid job and the shennanigans there. I did get a new laptop (personal) so I’m hoping to be able to work on some things on the fly more easily, like schoolwork.

I’m off to home now. My daughter is spending the night tonight.
