a week already

Its hard to believe that i've already completed a whole week of class. I'm finding it pretty easy to fall back into the role of student, but this is gonna be really hard. A lot of work will be involved in completing my masters. A lot. I had a big shock the other day when my advisor was discussing our theses with all the other first year MAs and he mentioned how long our final theses would need to be. I was thinking it would be like 40-60 pages, which is a lot, but it seems manageable. When he said that it would be hard to get by with anything less than 80 pages, i about fell off my chair. It seems that 80-120 pages would be acceptable. yikes. I can do it though. i think.
anyway, class is good. The faculty member here who teaches scene design and puppetry courses, as well as theatre history, is very good at puppetry stuff and he has a ton of connections throughout the puppetry course. which is exciting. I'm thinking that he'll probably end up being my advisor.
Everything else here is going fine, Laurel's still looking for a job, she has several applications in and some good prospects, plus several people who are keeping there ears open for us for other job openings, so hopefully that all falls into place soon.
the weather here is good, we've had rain the last couple of days, so its been nice and cool.
