The end of the drought...hopefully
Wow. I haven't posted in over a month...this is partly because of school, and partly because of work. Here's a brief update on both.
On the bright side, I have As in all three classes so far (a 94 and an 88 on the two tests in Survey of Public Administration, plus a 93 on the midterm paper; an A- on the midterm paper in Public Budgeting; and a 93 on the only test so far in Public Personnel Management - although we did take a test in there last Monday, which we should get back tomorrow).
I've already registered for next semester - I'm taking PSC 561 - Administrative Regulation, PSC 664 - Problems of Public Policy, PSC 666 - Political Economy and Public Policy, MUA 162 - University Chorus, and HPL 134 - Beginning Scuba Diving. My brother and one of his friends are in the scuba class - that ought to be fun!
Work sucks. (Not really - it just takes up a lot of my time.) Soccer is done; they didn't make the postseason, which was disappointing, but at least it's one less sport to worry about. Volleyball is almost done - we're hosting the SEC tournament next weekend (Iron Bowl weekend, no less). Basketball is just getting started - the girls won their first two games (a scrimmage against West Alabama and an exhibition against Henderson State). We're undermanned (underwomanned?) and lacking in some key areas, but there is confidence in the new staff. They'll get us back where we need to be. As for the guys, we're predicted to win the West, and we're ranked #15 in the preseason poll. We host a first-round Preseason NIT game here on Tuesday against Miami-Ohio.
Last week we moved from our temporary trailer offices into our new home in Coleman Coliseum, where the renovations are almost through. It's been irritating at times because sometimes the elevators work and sometimes they don't...but at least we'll all be in good shape from taking the stairs. I will have to bring the digital camera down here soon and post some pictures of our new office...since I'm spending such a lot of time here (in fact, I'm here now).
I hope not to go so long between posts in the future...if anybody's reading this, let me know and maybe that will provide a little incentive to keep it better updated. It may not be realistic for me to expect this blog to serve its original intended purpose (which was to keep a finger on the political pulse of the state of Alabama) as long as I'm in school...but I'll do my best, especially since we've got a gubernatorial election next year that's already heating up.
I'm not going to say anything about the game yesterday. My heart is broken.
