sleeping in class

Everything was more subdued today with the sleep deprived humor of yesterday having vanished. The gentle rain in the morning gave way to a heavy downpour in the evening. Somewhere in between the two extremes I slept.

...

One of the classes that I am thinking of taking this fall meets on Monday and Wednesday mornings. For me this would be perfect except that I would have to get some more sleep on Tuesdays. At the moment I can use Wednesdays as a transition day for sleep, but having something important to do on Wednesday mornings would change that habit.

Even when I was an undergraduate, I never slept in class. I might have missed a class here or there, but I never went to class just to sleep. It didn't make sense to me. Why should I go if I know that I won't remember anything? My attendance record wasn't that important to me.

...

Even though I often say that I don't plan that far into the future, I've come up with a new plan for the fall. My hope is that I'll make some new business and or social contacts while going to school. Then when the semester is over, I should have some new ideas about what I want to do next with my life. Not only will I have some new options to explore, but I'll have over two years in at my job and leaving won't seem that unprofessional.
