Done and Done

My class is all finished. I don't have a final mark, yet, but I did pass every assignment so I should pass the class. I hope to do better in the next one. Been reading lots of books and tomorrow I'm going to go look at a rental. I think it just makes more sense to rent than buy at this point and this is the cheapest place that might accept pets, even if it is a little beyond my budget. If they let me have 2 cats I might help out a friend by taking care of hers... we'll see how Veritas reacts to that.

All done :)

Surprisingly the 10 min nap did help. I finished the last assignment early this morning and handed it in. I hate having no idea whether or not it's what my professor wants to see, but there's nothing I can do about that. I didn't do so great on the first assignment and my group did super awesome on the second. Theoretically I should be in good standing with this course. Now I have a TON of books from the library to get through. I hope some of them can be renewed so I have more time. Won't know until I get close to those due dates though.

Just One More

All I have to do is finish one more assignment and then I'm done. So why does my brain decide to shut down? Probably because I'm almost finished and the whole group project fiasco just drained me completely. See? I'm still thinking about it and I told myself no more! I just need 8-10 pages of well-written response about the class, my projects, and how I'm going to use this stuff when I get a job. I need a break, but I need to get this done first. And I've taken breaks and I've barely got anything down. Maybe an 8-10 min nap will help?

My First Assignment

I WILL get it done in a timely fashion. It's due Monday morning and I WILL NOT be late!!! I hope.

Storybook Lady!

I finally got the chance to be the storybook lady at the library! I was a little disappointed that only 4 kids came out, but I'll take what I can get.

My class is still an emotional roller-coaster. Sometimes I think I'm doing well and then all of a sudden I'll feel like I just fell off the turnip truck. Whatever that expression means. I just feel young and inexperienced and I'm definitely the latter. I'm thinking that perhaps the intense summer courses are not for me, but we'll see how I feel after taking the 13 weeks courses.

End of Week 1

How was my first week of my course? Let me put it this way: I gained 3 pounds. Oh I wish stress made me less of an eater instead of more. I am so stressed and at a loss for my assignments. I knew it would be intense, but I didn't think I'd feel so inadequate. Just another part of life, I guess, only three more weeks and then the next course will have more breathing room.

Day One

I know that title gets used frequently, but whatevs.

It's the first official day of my class and I'm feeling even more inexperienced. I think everyone in my discussion group has had significant classroom time and one lady has even been a TL for 10 years! They also seem to have taken some of the other classes and it looks like one of them would have been really helpful. Can only do my best, right?

My plan to be all healthy and not have any chips or pop was circumvented by a trip to Timmy's. Mmmm Timbits. At least I walked over.
