Registered for Fall

So I got registered for all my classes except one and I will have to do that through an advisor. So, this fall it's back downtown to the main SAC campus where classes will start for me at 9am this fall. I'm taking American Government/Foreign Policy, US History Part 2, English Comp II, Conversational Italian and Music Appreciation. I am going to try tacking on either a Math class or a Literature class if possible. We will just have to wait and see. Dad thinks I need to just hold at 15 hours for Fall semester so I can keep up with my GPA. He's probably right.

I currently have a 97.8 in my Math 03o1 class this semester. Woo hoo!

Back to school on Monday. I like this summer schedule, though. Monday-Thursday in class and a three day weekend with which to study and do homework. Too bad I can't do that during the regular school year...

Later

Gotta Love the Summer

So... I made it through Spring Semester 2010 with a GPA of 3.5. Yay for me! I am now in Summer Session 1 (which started last Monday) taking Math 0301 because, yes, I suck at Math. However, this course is amazing (despite the Hitler-esque teacher) and I'm learning a lot thanks to the video lectures online. My first exam is Tuesday and summer 1 runs through July 7th. Then I have like 5 days break before Summer session 2 begins and it's on to Math 0302. Oh boy.

Fall Session will be busy. I'm taking 18 credit hours if I can get by with doing so. We shall see.

Everyone have a great summer!

Rounding the Last Turn

Three weeks left in the school year beginning on Monday. We're rounding the final turn as it were. I have finished all my papers for the semester. I'll get my Georgia O'Keeffe research paper back on Monday and I turn in my Reformation research paper on the 16th. At the moment, I am carrying a 3.5 GPA which is a good gpa to head into finals with I'm pretty sure. I've sent in all my paperwork for fall semester grants and scholarships. All I have to do now is wait until May 11th to request a current transcript that I can then turn in to the scholarship office so that they'll have my current GPA and can match me accordingly to the right scholarships. I'll also need a copy to turn into the Greek "squad" so that, if I still have a 3.5, I can join Phi Theta Kappa this summer. Yay!

Can't believe the semester is almost over. I'll be having knee surgery over the summer so no summer courses this year but I'll make time to get ahead on reading and such to prepare for Fall Semester 2010 :-)

For all of you in school, good luck in these final weeks. Everyone have a safe weekend.

Spring Break

Damn. Almost a month since my last post. Sorry about that. Things have been hectic at school and at home. Suffice it to say, I'm doing fairly well. Two A's and two B's right now so I can't complain. I spent today at the library working on two essays, one for English and one for History. Worked for 6 hours and finished my rough drafts for both papers. Yay me! I'm at the mid-way point in the semester. I had two mid-terms before Spring Break and I have two when I return next week. Kids and Dad are all on break this week, too. We might go see Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief tomorrow.

Guess that's it for this week. Not a whole lot to say or do. Joanna has to work all week, but she's excited about it because it means money for her ;)

Later everyone!

Ahhh... the end of the week from hell

But seriously, why am I complaining? It could have been worse... oh. Wait. It was...

Had a bad BAD seizure Monday morning, sometime between 3am and 530am (I know this because Nick woke me at 3am and it happened between then and when my alarm went off at 530) but I went on to school anyway Monday, thinking I'd be okay. Stayed through all my classes Monday because I had exams, came home and my head felt like it would explode. I had three nose bleeds between 12pm and 4pm. Dad and Joanna got home around 6 and we went to dinner. As we come back to the car from dinner, yep, another nose bleed, only this time, this one comes with a splitting pain in my head. Dad took me to the ER where they gave me Ativan for my seizures which knocks me out to begin with, but also Dilaudid for the pain. No wonder it took them 40 minutes to wake me up later on so I could go home.

Went to school Wednesday long enough to take more exams then came home and slept some more. I feel better today, though, so that's a plus.

Getting in to chapter 4 in Sociology and I'm enjoying this chapter. It deals with Culture and Society. Much less depressing than the first three chapters :)

Moving into the political arena and why people lean to the right or left in Government class.

We're moving towards the American Revolution in History class.

Essay time again in English. *sighs*

All in all, could have been worse, but I'd appreciate it greatly if the next week could be a little smoother. Thanks.

Mid Terms already?

Wow... five weeks down, and eleven more to go. Major exams this week in History and Sociology. One essay rough draft due in on Friday for English. My first set of notes for my History paper due Friday as well. Government is going to be starting another new chapter, something to do with foreign policy. Oh joy. All in all, though, I'm managing to keep a 3.5 GPA at the moment so I won't complain.

In other news, though, I'll be quite happy once Spring Break arrives next month. I'll need a week to decompress.

Later.

Week Four...

So far, still so good. Although I did score an 84 on a Government quiz today. Blah. Guess I shouldn't complain. At least it's a B.

Picked out my book review/research project for History. It will be on the Reformation and I will focus on the differences between Martin Luther and John Calvin. Should be interesting.

Other than that, I'm keeping an A in all my other classes, although it's somewhat more difficult in my Sociology class than in the others. My English grade is a 98 and I have the highest grade in the class at the moment. Yay :-)

So I'm off to read chapter 4 of my History book and study for next Monday's Timeline Quiz in that class. Then I need to start reading "The Reformation" by Owen Chadwick and "A History of the Church in England" by J.R.H. Moorman for the book review/research project.

Paper on the Civil War due for English class on Friday. Need to do another look over on that.

See ya next week :)
