There seems to be something to me about having my alotted time... Thursdays at 8 a.m.. It is my spot. Diverting from that somehow puts me off kilter but not always.

Perhaps you can book extra sessions sometime... although the irregularity of that sometimes is unsettling (in ways different from how you are already unsettled.) Maybe you could deal with this sometime.

Sometimes knowing what you have works better than hoping for what is not there. Hopefully the semester will fly by for you. :-)
