Four Weeks to go.

So this last week didn't go too badly... except for the part where I think I flunked my Algebra test yesterday. Quadratic equations in fraction form when multiplying and dividing make no damn sense to me. I just... don't understand any of it. I guess I shouldn't stress out so much about it, but I do because I'm working so hard to keep up my GPA and a C in math would drop me down from where I'm at which means I could possibly lose my place in Phi Theta Kappa. Anyway. Just four more weeks. I have to keep everything at a B or better going into final exams. Then I'm out for the summer. I seriously need to get a summer job. I can not just sit around and do nothing. *sighs*

Five Weeks and Counting

Five weeks left of school, not counting final's week. I currently hold a B or better in everything but English and in there I have a C. I hope I can pull everything up at least one letter grade before finals and then keep my A/B status once finals are through. I am not going to be able to take any classes this summer. First off, nothing I need is being offered and secondly, money is too tight. I still need to find a way to register and pay to take the next four CLEP tests I need so that, come fall semester, I will only have to take four classes in the fall and another four in the Spring and then I can graduate from SAC in May of 2012 and be ready to start at (hopefully) Incarnate Word or Texas A&M, San Antonio in August of 2012. My plan and my hope is that I will graduate with my Bachelor's degree in May of 2014 and have my masters the next May. I'd like to be able to teach, though, while working on my Master's.

That's it for this check in. I'll try to do better and post something next week. Cheers!

Mid-Terms are done :)

Came through all my mid-terms with B's or better. Yay me.

Eight more weeks of school until I'm out for the summer. I'm hoping to find a summer job especially since I have now lost my health insurance and I will need the money from a job to pay for my prescription meds. Blah.

Need to really get working on my research paper for English. I really hope I can pull an A on it and come out of that class with an A for the semester. Not too worried about the other classes as of right now.

Mid-Term report

So it's been just a little over two months since my last post here. Today I took my mid-term for English 1302 and a mid-term type skills test for Tennis. I only scored an 18 our of 30 on my skills test and I won't know how I did in English until I return from Spring Break which begins on Saturday. Tomorrow I have my Algebra mid-term which scares the crap out of me. I'm doing fairly well in all my other classes so we shall see how it all goes when mid-term grades come out sometime at the end of next week.

Doesn't look like I'll be taking classes over the summer as of right now. I'm going to try and find a job. Not sure how that will go. Pray. It's all I can do.

Everyone have a good weekend and a safe Spring Break.

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!
