CrAzY ScHeDuLe!!

Ok, here is what my tentative schedule will be like for next semester. It will be my 1st time having an 8am class!

Monday/Wednesday/Friday
9:00 Statistics 101
10:00 Geography 101 (Cultural Geography)
11:00 Political Science 101 (American Politics)
12:00 Break
1:00 History 101 (Asia)

Tuesday/Thursday
8:00-9:15 ECI 430 (Instructional Technology in the Classroom)

Right after this class I will go straight to work to work for probably 5 1/2 to 6 hours

The things that I am most nervous about with this schedule is going to school every day (LoTs of gas and time driving) and also the fact that the ECI class is a 4oo level course! My advisor did think that it would be ok and I need to take the course as I need to begin taking the education classes ASAP in order to get into the program.

I will let you know when my schedule is finalized!

Thanks and a Request

First of all, thanks to all who commented on the previous post (and if you have not feel free to still do so) i just thought it would be fun to see who reads my blog :)

Second of all, I would like to ask you to pray for me for the Lord's leading as to what major He would have me get. Right now I am thinking Elementary Education. I do not have much time left as I have run out of gen ed courses pretty much so next semester I have to take courses related to my major. I am meeting with an academic advisor for the Education major on Friday to discuss my classes for next semester and I do not want to take classes for a major I end up not doing if I can help it! :) In conclusion, please pray that the Lord would make it clear to me what he would have me do (Elementary Ed or another major).

Thanks!

Whew!

I have just finished a big round of assignments and tests in school. On Wednesday I had a speech for Public Speaking and a midterm for American Literature. I also had two art projects due (one of which I had finished a little while before and the other which I had to work on the day before). Today (Friday) I had a 5-6 pg History paper due and I took an online, open book test for my Intro to Criminology class (which we could take anytime between last Monday and Sunday night). Now I have a little bit of a breather as far as major assignments and tests go. Yeah!

On the 31st I will meet with an academic advisor to discuss classes for next semester; I register for classes on November 13th! It is hard to believe that so much of the semester is finished already! There is only about eight weeks left (including exams); that means I am halfway through the semester!

No Power...No Problem

Last Sunday my family and I arrived to a dark and somewhat stuffy church building. The power had gone out! Several of the guys in our church set up outside and we had a somewhat shorter service outside. It was fun (although warm). The main downside was that although the power came back on by the end of the service it kept going out so the Family Meeting planned for that night had to be postponed :(
