Sometimes Granite State College students just need to take a break. What better time to take a break from the studying grind than during the burst and blaze of peak season in the month of October.
Friday morning, while I made every effort to work on my Linguistics Homework 6, becoming more frustrated in the process because I could not access the online Oxford English Dictionary, no matter what method I tried, I realized I needed to pack my bags, fill up the car with gas, and drive northbound for our cabin in Maine.
Make no mistake about it! I packed one bag full of books; text books, notebooks, and the one book for my capstone project that I needed to finish by the end of the weekend. By 12:00pm on the sunniest afternoon ever with a large cup of Dunkin' Donuts ice coffee in my cup holder, I approached rte. 95 at 70 mph and never looked back.
Three hours later, when I pulled into the driveway, my husband was happy but very surprised to see me until he spied the bag full of school books in the back seat of the car. Then he knew...
Homework is more portable than ever now so don't let it be the reason why you shy away from taking classes to complete your degree through an adult learning program such as I am achieving through Granite State College.
Even though I went for a foliage ride, took a long hike in the woods with my husband, and played Rummie 500 with him in the evenings, I still completed my goal of working on my Linguistics homework as well as finishing the book for my I-search paper before I headed for home on Sunday morning at 7a.m.
Because I remembered to stop and catch my breath a bit, I rejuvenated myself for the hard work ahead of me this week.
