Final Death

This past week has been something else, I'll tell you what. But in the end it has ended up being a good week, although the end result of this week will not be entirely realized until the end of this next week. The reason being that this past week was dead week and this coming week is finals week, one of the most dreaded weeks in the life of a college student. To say that I have studied for these finals more than any other finals I've ever taken is an understatement. For some reason, it has come more easy to study this semester than at any other time in my life. This week, however, I discovered the lost land of the library, with some help of good friends of course. What a great place to study. I could focus but still have my friends around me, have mini conversations but still be very productive, it felt pretty dang good. This week however, is going to be the make or break week. Monday: Middle East, Tuesday: Psychology, Wednesday: Math, Thursday:Science. each test having significance. For my Math and Psychology, I am looking to keep my grade up where it is and with Psychology and Middle East I am hoping to produce the last little bits to bring them up. I think that the hardest ones will be Psychology, of course, and Math, because I hate the finance section. Middle East is pretty straight forward and same with Science. Hopefully this week of cramming will not bring sleepless nights. Many of my friends have been hit with sicknesses and we all need to be healthy especially this week so my prayers go out to all of them. We will just have to see how this week goes, because next week begins the start of another new part of life. . . home and work. . . again.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
