I have just finished the last paper due for the semester. As they say "That's a Wrap"! I should have done fairly well this semester, all things considered...This is my first semester in a post-graduate course, and this is my first full class load in twenty seven years! Depending on the outcome of the final submission to this class I will either have a 3.66 or a 4.0 for the semester...Not bad for an unemployed fossil!

My thought for this particular post is that learning things technical strip one of much of one's creativity. I, for one can not delve deeply into computer networking, or even learning a computer language and write creatively. It is either one or the other for me. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that I can do both, maybe not as effectively as someone who is brighter and more creative than I, but I am glad that I can learn concrete things and be creative. It is just that I can not do both simultaneously. I believe that part of it is that I have never been able to study effectively with any distractions such as music, television, or even loud traffic in the background.
When I write for pleasure, however I need some background noise, some music or other distraction to get the creativity started.
Ain't that weird?
The conclusion statement is: I have not been paying as much attention to this blog as I could have because I was not in the slightest interested in creating anything for the past week... I was very much concerned that I was "starving" my readers for lack of posts, but could think of nothing interesting to write...
This is a transitional post...nothing exciting, but I will start increasing the frequency of my posts...I promise.
