Starting of a new week

Coming into this week there's a lot of stuff that needs to get done, but once done I'll be on cruse control. Mid-week (Wed-Fri) is Tink & Friends last camp out extravaganza till school starts then my mind will have to shift gears from working from 9-3 to (Mon)work->(Tue)school->(Wed)work.

Honestly I say that my thesis work will not be as hard as it looks. All this is based on my reasoning that writing giant reports for my other classes was hard, but not impossible. There's an element, however, I'll call it the LC (Lewis and Clark Co.) element, that tries really to over complicate it and make mounds into mountains. Lets take a 16 or so page paper I had to write for a Japanese history/pop-culture class. Coming into it, it was just a 16 page research/thesis paper... this means that you research, write, re-write, turn in... but the course progressed, the professor talked up that paper like it was some giganourmous task that he mockingly joked that we were fearing to write. Now... stress like that will make a thesis literal hell and I hope this thesis professor doesn't take the path of "total dominance" and "total micro-management"...

If anything in this world, teachers need to know that this generation of students needs a stress-free environment if creative juices (of any kind) are going to flow :)
