Week 1 is done

So, I made it through my first week at school. All of my teachers are interesting with Prof. Aguilar being the most sane of them all. Then too, this is my third semester with him so I knew what to expect with him. My psychology professor is just... strange and somehow related to me. Go figure. History of Architecture class is great so far if not a little to academic for my liking and my math class is... well, I have this feisty little Asian lady, retired military officer, and she is just funny as hell. I can't always understand what she says, but at least she writes legibly enough.

And the second week has begun so we shall see what all it brings.

Starting Soon

So, school starts on Monday. I've rearranged my schedule yet again. I'll be in class Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. My classes are:

Introduction to Architecture

World Literature I

Teaching Mathematics

Introduction to Psychology.

Hopefully I will manage to pull out all A's this semester so I can get my GPA back up to where I had it prior to last semester.

Hope everyone had a safe/fun/blessed summer. Back to school we go!

Three weeks and counting

So, school starts in three weeks now. I'm excited. I know my daughter is excited, too.

My appeal of my probationary status was granted so I don't have to worry about my grant money not coming in. Yay for that.

Classes start on the 22nd. Wish me luck. I'll be updating more often once Fall semester gets into full swing.

Fall 2011

Fall semester starts August 22nd - in about five weeks. My daughter, Joanna, will be starting her first year at SAC at that time. I've already registered for my classes. She and I will both be going Tuesdays and Thursdays so that I can work Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. So my fall semester will consist of the following classes:

English 2322: Neoclassical Literature

Kine 1102: Cardio Class

Music 1306: History of American Music

Speech 1311: Introduction to Speech

Education 1301: Introduction to the Teaching Profession (Wednesday nights)

Joanna will be taking a typical first year set of courses:

English 1301

History 1301

Government 2302

Math 1314

It's going to be an interesting semester....

Appeals Process

So... apparently since I had to drop fall semester due to my surgery and subsequent infections and illness resulting in that, I have to file an appeal with Financial Aid to keep from losing my grants and loans for school. *sighs*

I have already registered for fall semester, though, in hopes that I will be granted an appeals status. The classes I have registered for are World Literature, The Bible as Literature, Liberal Arts College Math and Speech Communication. I may add a PE course if I can find one that's in the afternoon.

My daughter, Joanna, has to get registered as well. We may do that on Monday when I go down to SAC to turn in all my information regarding my appeal.

End of Sping Semester

Well, I really screwed up this semester. My cumulative GPA dropped from a 3.5 to a 2.8. I am going have to serious re-prioritize this fall. I may see if I can afford to take a class or two in Summer session 2 just to get my GPA back up. Easy classes that I know I can probably make A's in. Damn it all. I was doing so well, too. It's my own damn fault, though. I spent too much time on the computer and not enough time studying. I have got to get my act together before August that's just all there is to it. A 2.8. That's a friggin' C average. I can't have that. I really can't.

Final Exams - Spring 2011

So, tomorrow begins Finals week for me. I have two exams tomorrow (Government and Algebra), an English final on Thursday and the History final on Friday. As of right now I have a B in all classes except English and I have a high C to the best of my knowledge. Will know more on that tomorrow I think.

On that note, Friday is the end of Spring Semester for me and then I am out of class until August when fall semester starts. I'm hoping to find a summer job during my time off. The extra income would be nice.

I have studied until my mind won't except anymore information. I hope it all works out. I can't afford to have my GPA dropping at any point in this game.

Wish me luck!
