How was this year?

So the new year is slowly creeping up! In ways I'm excited but I feel this year went by way too fast! I guess it is a good thing because school goes faster, but i feel that maybe I didn't get time to adnirethe little things! Over all though, I feel it was a good year. I turned 20, my mom had surgeries, but is doing much better, went to visit my brother, had the best group of kids at the daycare, started my junior year, got a new laptop, was approved to graduate May 2009, decided to master in Special ED, finally happy with my roommates, lived in an apartment, Brother went to Iraq, and I have only two semesters of classes left before I student teach! And what am I looking forward to? Well my 21st birthday, but also, finishing my junior year, going to New York, hopefully working at the same Daycare, entering my Senior year, and who knows what else!! I hope everyone else had a good year, and if you didn't, hopefully this next year will better!

what a semester...

So..... this semester was the pits! Granted I have been done since Tuesday, but I'm still looking back and thinking about how hard it was. I only took 12 hours, not my choice, but I had to do so much! For starters, Intro to Chemistry was a class that I thought would be rather easy since I like science; however, it turned out that it was more of an intro to organic chemistry! I kept thinking "I'm not going to be a Chemist, so why do I need to what elements are in a hydrogen bomb?" Literally, we learned how to make every bomb possible! I'm sorry but I'm not planning on making bombs! Anyways, I had to study to an extent that I didn't think I needed to. Basically, I worked my butt off just to get a C! Next, was my Advance Composition class! I knew this was going to be a hard course because of the professor, but I really enjoyed the professor, and felt I learned alot from him. We ended up reading like three short stories and three short novels. We would then write papers based on what we read. I'll admit I was devasted when my first few papers came back with a big fat C on them. I was like "What??? I got A's in my other english courses, so what am I doing wrong now?" I kept going and eventually got to a point I was getting B's on my papers! I'm not going to say I didn't learn anthing because I did! I loved the class, but I had to work extremely hard just to get a B! Then there was my math and education classes. I really didn't have to work all that hard in my math class since it was math for elementary school teachers! It was a simple class, which I knew it would be. My education class was very simple too, but we had lots of projects! So, basically, my simple courses just gave me extra work to do while working extremely hard in my other complicated courses. I was just in a stressful state this whole semester and had about ten anxiety attacks! I'm just super glad that this semester is done with and have a month to relax! Next semester will hopefully be a little bit better! Better go to bed! Later Gators!
