Haven't been keeping up on my blog! The problem is that I usually write my blog entries in the evenings and my evenings this week have been nonstop. Monday I had my Kaplan class, Tuesday we had Book Club, last night it was Kaplan again. Tonight it's my writer's group, and tomorrow night is a Girl's Night Out with Dorothy, Sandy, and Hai-Nhu. Looks like we'll be getting Mexican take-out and settling in for some episodes of Sex and the City. My week is totally full.
Book club was fun, as usual. We read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn which I reviewed on this site earlier when I finished it. To sum up, I really liked the book. Everyone else in book club liked the book except for Therese. There's always one! :)
Next week is my last two Kaplan courses and frankly I'm relieved. The class hasn't been going the way I expected and I'm not getting much joy from it. In fact, it's been very stressful. Although the first hour yesterday went really well, the second I sped through the curriculum in record time, did all the homework with them, and still sent them home 10 minutes early. Anyway, I'll decide whether or not I'll continue with Kaplan after I finish this first course.
The neighbors are playing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." That's a new one.

Do you think that the stressfulness of the Kaplan courses is due to the newness (still adjusting), the content, the students, or something else?

Answer: Yes.
