(Short update, but I’m writing something fun on the side that I hope will be an awesome blast back into blogging once papers and finals are over!)
Some fun stuff from the past day-
A) We got to H Anub and got attempts in on him in one night, meaning we have the next two days to work on him. 
B) I found out I’m teaching a creative writing class for 7th-9th grades starting in January. (And yes, I’m totally covering blogging with them.)
C) I told my Romanticism professor about this, and we had a chat about how I graduate after this semester.
D) She then got very upset that I was leaving, and talked to me about getting my masters. Then she told me to screw getting my masters, and that I should go straight to a Ph. D program, because I “am already doing masters-quality work,” in her words.. It kind of made my day.
Some not-so-fun stuff from the past day-
A) Chili’s changed their menu some time in the past month. No more crispy chicken tacos for Elam. >:(
B) I found out that the first “grown-up” book my boyfriend read was Flowers for Algernon while he was on a plane to Ireland by himself. At the age of 8. My first “grown-up” book? Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. When I was 11 or 12. And being babysat by my grandparents. Mlia. 
C) Patch 3.3 will probably drop it like it’s hot next Tuesday…just as I’m going into super serious crunch time for school. ARAWRAWRAWR.

blizzard needs to learn when people write final exams, you’d almost think that they are trying to get us to fail.
They are!
Vets and literature professors don’t have time for WoW. :p But if you drop out of school and move back into the basement, well… what else are you going to do with your time (and money)?
My first Adult book was Jurassic Park… when I was 9…
Also, if you’re THINKING of getting Masters/PhD… do it now. Don’t wait.
You know, reading your blog, and reading elle’s blog, gives two very different pictures of how surreallity’s doing.
As for why they’re dropping 3.3 now, they want to make sure that they have the gamebreaking bugs out before everyone goes home for the holidays and finds themselves with an unhealthy amount of time to find said bugs in the raids. The only people who really make significant progress in the first week are the guilds with the patience to weather the storm of disconnects and errors, and lack of addons that comes with a major patch. Let’s just hope that it’s not as bad as the 3.1 release.
I agree with Tahas about if you are thinking about getting a PhD you should go for it. But then again I have no clue what a PhD in literature does so I may not be the best one to ask.
And @ blizzard….screw you, I refuse to let you impact my education, I have already had 2 guild members tell me that they would come find me and beat me if I even got close to dropping out of vet school because of WoW. And since one of them is a bear that is kinda good incentive to keep my grades up =P
