By A Hair’s Breadth

I enrolled today. It involved a lot of begging, most of which was aimed toward Jesus.

But I’m enrolled: Writing the Screenplay and Investigative Reporting. Should be an absolute ball. It looks like all the money is going to come into place in plenty of time for me to pay everything up by Sept. 5, which is how long the bursar gave me to get them their money from last semester.

If I have learned anything in my life it is that no matter what is going on with your finances, somehow there is always enough. Not as much as you might like, but enough. Some times in my life have been all about McCormick’s vodka and Ramen noodles, but I always got by. 

In May I was so burned out by grad school that I swore I would not set foot in Norman until August. I kept that promise, but now that I’m all enrolled for next semester I’m completely stoked about going back to learning - and, oddly enough, to teaching. There’s a new video productions prof this semester, whom I am meeting tomorrow. I spent an hour today sitting in the cage with Leah shooting the shit about what we did all summer.

It’s good to be back.
