I’m Doing Better

Okay, so it’s been a few days since the last time I posted. I was really stressing out on Wednesday but I’m doing better now.

I’ve actually already started on my assignments. I’ve read the first chapter in my Geometry book. I couldn’t do the homework assignment though because I have to know something about high school geometry to do this class. It was 19 years ago when I took high school geometry and I don’t remember any of it. I went to Half Price Books looking for a geometry book but they didn’t have any. I’ll have to go to another one tomorrow because I really need the book.

I’ve already completed my first assignment in my writing class and have read the first chpater of the next writing assignment.

I’ve completed section 5.1 in Calc 2 and started on section 5.2.

I started all this yesterday and have to say that I’m doing a pretty good job so far. But, it hasn’t been a week yet. I’m always like this in the very beginning. Can’t wait to get started and I always start off strong. But somewhere in there life starts to get crazy, I start to get lazy and then I don’t do it everyday like I need to be doing. But my plan is to make a schedule and stick to it so that I am not cramming at the end of the semester. I really don’t want to be donig that.

I’ve been at it all evening and I think I’ve called it quits for the day. I still need to find me a bag that I can carry all my books in but also to carry my computer.

I had a great time with Pudds in between church services. She gave me a rundown of a story she had been wanting to write. Her characters are Frankenstein Jr. and Pumpkin Jr. but she calls them Frank and Pump for short because she got tired of writing their whole name out every time. That girl is hilarious.

Pudds is supposed to be going over her multiplication facts. She’s supposed to do it everyday but instead she’s sitting up on the couch staring into space. Pumpkins is supposed to be cleaning up the kitchen. She was supposed to be cleaning it over an hour ago and she still hasn’t started on the dishes. I really don’t know what she’s up to walking around the house all slow like she’s an old woman.

I’ve got to go. I want to put all my school things away and get ready for work tomorrow.

Until next time,
PEACE!!!!

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

I went to register for classes today. OMG! What have I done to myself? I’m taking “Writing for Young Audiences”, “Calculus II”, and “Geometry”.

I have to do different things for each one, of course, but it’s stuff that I didn’t know I’d be doing. For instance, for the writing class, I have to write and illustrate a children’s book and write a short story geard towards the preteen/teen age.

For Calc I have to do a project – calculus and baseball. Are you serious? Who cares about the calculus of a baseball? I sure as heck don’t. Even less so than the project I had last year about the calculus of a rainbow.

Geometry would be okay if the book looked like a geometry/math book. But it looks like a literature book. It’s paperback, thin, and there’s a lot of reading to do and hardly any problems with examples.

This is going to be a trying semester and I know that before I begin I have to change my attitude towards my studies. I can’t go into it thinking negatively. I have to be positive so that I can make it through and come out with good grades.

I’m glad hubby went with me today to register. When I asked him I wasn’t expecting him to say yes so I was surprised when he did. He was quiet most of the time but that’s okay. I do know that he’ll never go back with me again. But that’s okay, at least he did go one time.

Oh, and get this. I get to the school bookstore to purchase my books and find out that one of the books that I need for my writing class is sold out. How do you sell out of a book on the 2nd day of registration. They know in advance how many people are registered for the class. Why wouldn’t they at least have that number of books ready. So now they want to order the book and charge me to have it shipped to me. What kind of crap is that. I decided to order the book through Amazon.com. It was cheaper anyway.

Well, I’m going to get some recreation reading done. I want to get this book finished before I have to get started on my studies. I see that this semester there will be no time for any recreational reading.

I’m proud of myself, I’ve been doing a whole lot better with my blogging. I’ve only missed one day and for me that’s progress. I’m not sure how well I’ll do when I start studying but I’ll probably need to rant and this will be where I’ll do that. I know, I know, think POSITIVE.

Okay, I’m out for now,
God Bless
