Spring Semester starts soon

Spring 2011 Semester starts for me on the 18th of January. So, I've got a little over two weeks before I head back to class. I'll be in class five days a week this time around. Four classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and two classes on Tuesday and Thursday with an internet lab at some point during the week for my French class.

Classes this coming semester are:

English Comp 1302
History 1302
Government and Foreign Policy 2302
Math 0302
Tennis
French 1411

It's going to be a busy year but I know I can do it.

Hope everyone had a great winter/Christmas break and that we're all ready to head back when the time comes.

Later.

Week four and counting

So I changed my major to Political Science. I'm still working on my same degree (Associate of Arts in Teaching) and still plan to transfer to Weyland Baptist in the fall of next year to complete my degree. Tomorrow in Government class I have to argue on a Supreme Court case (Santa Fe ISD v. Doe) in which two families sued to the school district because of prayers before football games. I have a feeling my government professor is gonna hate me by the time the semester is over.

English essay due tomorrow. My topic? "Defining Classic Literature". I chose to write about The Great Gatsby which is one of my favorite books. (It was a great movie, too). We're discussing the Native Americans in History class and then it's on to the beginnings of Judaism in my Humanities class.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Second verse same as the... or not

Second week of school has gone off without too much of a hitch for the most part. I changed my major from English to Political Science, however. I'm enjoying the hell out of my Government class at the moment. The professor made us all Supreme Court justices yesterday in different cases that dealt with the "Establishment Clause". It was fun to argue both sides. Not that I'd ever go pre-law or anything. I do not have the time to go to law school after I'm done with everything else. I just want to teach and engage young minds to think for themselves and stop drinking the damn kool-aid (thanks to O'Reily).

Three day weekend this week in honor of Labor Day so I won't be back at school until Wednesday. History test over chapter 16 at that point. English essay due on Friday. Guess what I'm doing for the next couple of days off? ;)

Hope everyone else has a great weekend. Stay safe!

Week One of Fall Semester

Well, it was an interesting first week of school to say the least. The only sane teacher I seem to have is my English professor and she's really neat. I like her a lot. Got a 100 on my first essay for her class. My other professors are... interesting. My history professor was there when Dad went to SAC and Dad had him for history. My government professor is chairman of the department and believes we've all been brainwashed because we are forced as children to learn the pledge of allegiance. Go figure. My humanities professor is an airhead who is easily distracted. It should be a fun 16 weeks.

My Student Leadership course is neat. We meet on day a week for three hours. We'll be going to Washington, DC at some point in November. Can't wait for that trip!

So, there you have it. Week one is over and done with and week two about to begin. Here's where it starts to get exciting and busy. Hope everyone else out there is having as much fun as me for now.

+Peace+

Six Days and Counting

Ahh... the fall semester is just around the corner. And I mean that quite literally. School starts back for me on Monday, August 23rd. I'm recovering well from surgery to remove my gallbladder and appendix so thank goodness for the rolling backpack Dad procured for me last semester. Another class switch-er-roo by the way. Classes for me will now be from 9am until 2pm and will be comprised of Government/Foreign Policy, Humanities part 1, Comp II, College Math, and US History II. So, five Academics instead of five Academics and one elective this semester. After the surgery and all, I just did not think I could handle 18 credit hours.

Have to get out and go back to school shopping either today or tomorrow. It's already 90 degrees outside. Blech.

Have a great last week of freedom my fellow schoolmates. See you on Monday.

One Week to Go

So, down to one last week of summer session and so far I have managed to maintain an A average in my math class. I'm excited! I won't be taking summer session 2... just do not have the funds for it right now. But that is okay. I need to break to get things done around the house and such. It's only a six or seven week break until fall semester starts so I can live with that.

Signed up for fall semester... I'll be taking Comp II, Beginning Conversational Italian, American Government II, American Music and US History II. If I can fit a Math class in somewhere, I might do that as well.

Happy 4th of July to all Patriots everywhere. God bless our men and women in the armed forces and God bless America.
