I healthy activity after my headache inducing battle royal with the business dept at TTU. I ended up paying a bill I didn't actually owe in order to not be dropped from classes because they couldn't get my bill correct by the deadline. I fail to see how that is my (or any other student's) problem. Despite hours (yes: hours) on the phone I finally caved (as I'm sure they hoped I would) and paid the bill 30 minutes prior to the deadline. Alas, alack. Their system must be changed as it is inappropriate to blame and subsequently charge students for your own departments inability to correctly apply scholarships and waivers. Annoying.
Sarah & I have been walking in the mornings which has been nice. Hopefully we'll be able to continue during the summer. I have yet to hear from anyone interested in taking an acting course in the summer at the high school or the middle school. The economy, it seems, has hit hard everywhere. I'm waiting until Monday - the official 1st day of the courses - before I lose all hope. Things look bleak.
On a good note I've been hired as a blogger and will be able to post blogs beginning in June. The blog will be about being a new father while being a current doctoral student 1000 miles away from family. How will I cope? What will I do? One thing's for certain - there will be ample tales of my daily adventures in fatherdom. Very excited to begin work. Hopeing that the blog will have the added bonus of providing reflection time for my new role as a parent.
1st day of classes today. While I won't need to physically attend any courses as I am taking an independent study in playwriting (one meeting every 2 weeks) it does require me to write and write and write. I am, however, very excited about the process and have already started work on the project. (I've written about 50 pages... but lost 20 to an inadvertent file deletion thanks to Windows Live Mesh).

More later I'm sure.
That - for the moment - is the Texas Perspective.
