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.

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.

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!
