The Swing of Things

School has definitely started. It has gone off to a fast start too. So much so that it is already hard to keep up. The classes that I am taking this semester are a lot harder and more time consuming than last semester which is creating minor problems, namely procrastination isn't working as well. I love procrastinating but I can't do it as much this semester. Definitely the hardest class I have right now is my History of Psychology class. There is so much reading for it that it is rare that I get it all completed on time. Not only that but the reading is very hard itself. It is a tough textbook to get through. A lot of the things we talk about in class are interesting though. I just fear that my comprehension, or lack thereof, is going to play to my detriment. My favorite class is definitely my New Testament class. Bro. Whalquist is the man. He is so excited about what he is teaching that he gets me, and probably most the people in the class, excited about it as well. He makes learning fun and very spiritual. As for my other classes, English 201, Understanding DNA, and Statistics, they are all just side dishes on the giant plate that I have in front of me. This is going to turn out to be an interesting semester as far as the schoolwork is concerned. My social life is also pretty interesting. What is life without a little bit of drama, right? Not to get into the details but let's just say that only time will tell. I really am excited to see what life is going to bring me as far as that is concerned. I am finally getting into the swing of things this semester and am understanding a little bit of how this semester is going to go. I am hoping that some things slow down and clear up for me soon and that my stress level goes down just a bit but even then i know that the Lord has things in His control and that whatever happens is His will. Just gotta live!

#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 ...
