another subject. we did not have classes today, as it was veterans' day. that was great, not having to go to class. but i did meet one of my profs on campus today. i am hoping to get a rec from him by the end of the semester...and i hope i made a decent impression today. well...i guess my performance in the class is what is most important, so i better get my butt moving in that. but at least i think this opened our communication lines, so i will be consulting him more in the coming weeks. i know the semester is near end...shoulda started earlier. but oh well, nothing i can do about that. i can only do what i can now.
