Doin' the Humphrey Humph

Graduate school has started and I'm already behind. I think that is the permanent state of the graduate student. I am now officially a Master's of Public Affairs student at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota - or the Humph. I am only taking 6 credits, but with the volume of reading, it is more than enough. I taking a cour es on global public policy and another on humanitarianism. The most troubling aspect is I can now spell 'humanitarianism' without a hitch. Based on my third-grade spelling performance, that is quite an accomplishment.
