ahh, friday. i closed up shop tonight and headed back home to work on excessive amounts of late homework that took way too long. meanwhile, my wife went out to applebee's with her friends and my co-worker/friend becky. boo them! well, boo homework for preventing me from going out with them. it's okay, i got everything done and that's good news. anyway, this class is good. i've got a 100% in it, despite the fact that i thought it was going to be way harder than my previous classes. good to know that i'm still good enough at school and research and study that i can pass a class that is actually somewhat challenging.
i'm also learning a lot in this class, a lot of it which is dispelling some pretty blissful ignorance. now that i think about it, a lot of my education throughout this degree program has done that. i know a lot more about the american education system, especially when displayed in the context of the global position and outlook on bilingualism [read: they support it, we don't] and it's pretty easy to get depressed and disillusioned. it almost makes me want to quit, but at the same time, it makes me want to change things that much more. i hope that by making educational resources aimed in the right direction and encouraging the right things, i can make a difference. hopefully i'm not just being idealistic.
