Winter Break

It's been a long while, my bad. Fall Quarter ended a bit ago, I have just been real busy with 2 jobs. I checked my grades and got an A-, 2 B's, and a C. Not what I had hoped for but good enough. I also went on a trip to Leavenworth for the 3rd year in a row. Not as much snow as we wanted but we still had fun. We went snowmobiling and had some good meals. So far I am trying to enjoy my time off school, but I still worry about a lot of things. I am also worried about work, but am currently set for 88 hours this pay period; unless we hire someone. I haven't ate yet today so I will go and eat something. Goodnight.

I went on a club field trip yesterday and will post up pics when I can!

*Edit*

Better late than never.

Photos in opposite order. Seattle Asian Museum and the Shinto Shrine.

There are a few things that I can update on since my last post. I am currently in the process of asking for extra credit in most classes. I am slowly getting more done. Work might be getting better and I really do love my Jbox boys!

Winter Registration

It's been 2 days since I registered and I completely forgot until now to post. I am excited for my schedule because I got one of the first dibs on classes. I will be taking English 102, Math 98 and Ceramics. I am debating on tacking on another class but I should be fine. For Spring though, if I want to graduate and if I pass all classes, I just need 2 classes then 1 in the Summer along with Dental Assisting classes. Hopefully I work out something good. Other than that I don't have much else to update on. Sociology is going to poop and Japanese is soon following it. But I will try to pick it up, I usually always do.

With the Halloween weekend comes fun times. Already had a great party at a friends, and it was the type of party too. Just a good group of friends having fun.

I have a test and a bunch of stuff due on Halloween Day as well as working till 10. Fun day ahead.

Quick Check In~

It seems that when I miss a day I really do take a bit to catch up. I took yesterday off of school because I fell on the stairs and was a bit too hysterical to get to class. I was completely out of it today even though it would be pretty easy to catch up again eventually. I had a test today that I did not study for in Japanese and failed epically. I will be sure to explain to Sensei that I would like a retake.

Work situation isn't getting any better. Still no gas from what I see but I heard that the lawsuit situation will get resolved soon. Hopefully in our favor and with the current boss kicked the heck out! Laundry beckons so see ya!

So for a while I was getting weekends off from school and work. Work just because and school because the teachers don't give out homework at the moment. But now I have been working weekends, except today which was good, but I hate that someone who has less seniority than I do has been getting their way. That shibby needs to stop. Currently I am having trouble trying to figure out what classes to do for Winter Quarter. I think I will have it by the end of the week though. Registration for me is on November 2nd.

Today I went to the movies with my family. We watched Real Steel and it was a fairly good movie. One of those underdog on top ones. Personally I don't care for those types but the graphics and Hugh Jackman made it worth it.

Long day

Yesterday was my 23rd Birthday, just sayin. I had school in the morning and spent most of the night trying to get all my hw done. Then after school, my grandpa had a BBQ for me and my family didn't show up till 5 when the meal was cooked at 1. Then I had to go to my Fiancee's family to have more food and cake there. But could only stay for about an hour because we had to go to The Office to meet up with my friends. Only a few showed up which made me a bit sad but still, I had fun. So I wasn't able to get my 2 papers done that were due today. I am hungover, grumpy and want to take a nap. I need to get all my homework from yesterday and today done! BAH!!

End: 2nd Week~

So much for week 2. This week wasn't bad, just trying to get back in the knack of waking up early and getting homework done between school and work. Had 2 tests on Friday and I felt I did alright when I took the first one but the second one was poop. I thought I was prepared but sadly enough I forgot everything. I did my best and I can only try harder next time. Club was on a roll. We are already working on shirts, a field trip and Matsuri. I am excited!

Work is still work. Randomly running out of gas and getting it back, still poopy hours. Lot of people very unhappy. And for some reason we keep someone useless. I hate people sometimes.

End: 1st Week

So, by how this week went I am going to assume that I am going to need a little help from people. Some things need to change otherwise it will not work out. I am happy to have friends but shit needs to get done. I have had a bunch of homework and am trying to get through them all but this weekend will have to be spend catching up with readings and hopefully getting past a few just so I can have some control of what is going on. This is what I get for having a full schedule. But also for having a job that doesn't end till 10. Need lunch then off to work. Blah!

Fall Quarter Start~ Day 2

So I failed to update for the first day of class but I will just do that now. The first class I had in my line up was Astronomy 100. The teacher knows what he is talking about, he just takes a long round about way of doing so. I just about fell asleep in class today so that is no good. Seems we will be watching movies and having lectures for this class. Second class is Sociology 101. She knows what she is doing but as a person she has tweaked at one of my most annoying pet peeves. To explain, I can't stand when people say a word more often than necessary. The word(s) 'like' or 'you know' has become acceptable in society but when you say phrases or words constantly at the end of what you were saying it bugs the hell out of me. The online system she wants us to use is a pain in the butt to get to as well. I just spent the last hour trying to just find the site then log in. I don't know but it isn't looking good for Sociology. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have Kickboxing next. Being that today is Tuesday I can't say how it is, we had orientation Monday so nothing but talk. After that is all done, I have Japanese 221(4). It is a small class and I love Japanese so it ends the day quite well.

If anything I already have a lot of homework so I should get to it!

Time went by way to quickly. School starts tomorrow and I am excited! I have a feeling that things aren't going to go well with work but hopefully I can pull it together at school. I hate that books are so expensive, but I love that I can at least try to sell them back around the same price I got them for, depending on if it was online or not. I have 1 more book to get and hope that the financial aid check will be what I am expecting it to be. Big plans went to that check and if it isn't right then poo.

Anyway I just worked for 2 days with no sleep, Night!

It is almost over and I have enjoyed this summer quite a bit. Work finally got gas but I am not very optimistic about the whole thing just yet. I bought a new desktop and am loving it to death! 23" monitor with an elite tower. Very happy! Made some cool friends, rearranged the living room a bit, went swimming and just less stressed for the time being. I can't wait for the day to be over though. I got to head out to work till 10pm.

Mini Summer Vacation

The Fiancee and I went on a 1 night, 1 day trip to Long Beach Washington. It was a 2 hour drive. We left right after I got off work Saturday night at 10. I unknowingly drank an energy drink much like Redline where you are told to drink half to know your tolerance and I drank it all. So the trip was rather interesting. It was completely dark for just about all of the way. When we got there we pulled up to a long road that was heading towards the beach, parked, set up for bed and slept till morning. We woke up around daylight because there was no way of completely avoiding light in a vehicle. Looked out the window and saw that we were right on the water. We spent the day walking around and looking at all the little shops. Saw Jake the Alligator Man, dumb. I wanted a souvenir but couldn't find anything good under a set price I was willing to pay for. We ate at Lost Roos for lunch, and it was awesome! Left Long Beach around 6pm and made it home around close to 9ish.

I had a lot of fun and would love to do it again!

Start of Summer Vacation

I am finally on a Summer vacation. Classes were tough but easy at the same time. I am not sure if I want to do evening classes again, that was just a bummer. I know that grades come out on Tuesday so I am expecting some alright results. It would be awesome if I got an A in Nutrition, it would put my GPA up and make me feel better. Math 94 is pre-college stuff so it doesn't really count towards anything but getting into Math 98. I am excited about Fall Quarter but also very unsure.

I have a feeling that I am going to be spending my Summer looking for a new job, playing on the xbox and watching Anime. Ahh the life that is mine.

Well crap...

Things are not going so great at work. The only boss I have had so far that was awesome was let go Wednesday and no one knows why. We are stuck with someone who doesn't know anything and just about all of us are jumping ship. I am not sure what will happen with my job but I know with my Manager gone and just about everyone under him walking, I sure as hell ain't sinking with the ship. I have something planned but that is still in the air.

I have one more week of school left of Summer Quarter and I am somewhat glad to be done. I like Nutrition class but not my Math class, the teacher is cool just the subject is poopy. I have planned my Fall Quarter and it is going to be a ride. Astronomy 100, Sociology 101, Japanese 221 and Aerobic Kickboxing. I somehow ended up telling a person about my schedule and they signed up for it. Granted I don't mind people doing their own thing. But this person doesn't even have to say anything to piss me off. I really do need this Kickboxing class.

I had a very good weekend, and a pleasant Monday. I had a wedding to go to on Sunday and it was beautiful. My friend/English teacher was the groom. I was 1 of 3 students who where invited and I was the only one to show up. I felt bad that it was only me but he told me that I was the only one that kinda mattered to him that showed up. That statement made me very happy and curious at the same time, and the nosy person that I am needed to know why but I withheld a bit. The bride was beautiful even though I have only met her once. And even though it sprinkled just a bit during the vows I thought it was very sweet.

Today, I got to spend time with my Sister. We went an saw Harry Potter part 2, I have to say that I am still kind of unsatisfied with the ending of the series. After the movie I had to go straight to school, and what do you know the class was canceled. Very happy day indeed!

So today wasn't that bad of a day, to say the least. I went to work around 7:30 this morning till 2. After work I went to my bank to see if I could open a sub-savings account, which I did and named it School Fund. I am going to have it as a no touch savings except for what I am saving the money for; like a new computer or bed. Afterwards I went to go to the Unemployment building to find out why I received a deposit from them when I have not claimed since January 15th. Come to find out that it was the money withheld from that week and got it because I won my appeal.

I had class after all my errands were done and because we only watched a movie I ended up taking a small nap. But so far in the school front I am averaging pretty good grades thus far, minus a few bumps in the road here and there. Love that I can make up points from a test in Math class. And how Nutrition class' teacher grades on a curb. Joys of Summer quarter.

Long time no see...

I haven't been updating much but I am going to try again.

Lately I have just been working and going to Summer Quarter. Other than that I have made a few friends at work and hung out with them. Few I have learned I can not stand being around them others are just cool. I learnt something this week that no one has ever even heard of. But as it is said 'too much of a good thing is bad'. Ugh, I have been emotionally challenged these past few months. Things of which should never be remembered but knowing me I will always remember. If anything there are now 2 official days in the year 2011 that will haunt me for the rest of my life. May 5th and June 15. All I have to say for the 15th is that I am sorry, no regret just sorry.

Anyway, I have been playing Dragon Age 2 and I am not enjoying it as much as Origins. Either way back to gaming.

Since I last updated, not much has changed. I am not doing all that well in Psychology but I am trying to get back to where I was or at least not fail the class.

I am still recovering from the loss and I can pretend to be fine but I'm not. I hate how this year has been and can't wait for it to be over. I have been burning my wick at both ends and I am feeling it.

Been a while since I have been on here. A lot has happened, and I am still recovering.

My best friend and most important person in the world passed May 5, 2011. She was the best Grandmother I could have ever known. I will miss her every day and I need to get my stuff situated so that I can make her proud.

Because of the recent event. I haven't been doing well in school, but I will work my hardest to bounce back. I need to keep everything together and focus.

A lot has happened since I last posted. Lots of homework for one. I just finished a 7 page paper for my Creative Writing class. In Japanese I have a kanji test tomorrow, so I have been studying. Found out that my registration time for Summer/Fall 11 is 5 days after Advising Day, that is stupid.

My Grandmother had a heart attack Easter morning, since then I have been worried about her as well. I am not sure I am liking the year 2011. But I am working more than 2 days a week now, I guess that is good.

Gotta say that the reason I have been M.I.A. these past few days is because I have had a ton of stuff to do. Lots of homework this quarter and I need to put all my focus on it. I have the feeling of failing Japanese for the first time ever, and Psychology is confusing. English is pretty easy but having to read and write all the time is kinda tough when you aren't a story writer to begin with. I hope I get better at this quarter.

As for work, it is on and off. Boss is trying to figure stuff out because he got promoted and wants to have everything run right so I am waiting it out. Anyway I thought I would just do a quick update because I need to sleep. School then straight to work tomorrow.

Ugh, 2nd day of class had a lot of homework and the same with today. Yesterday I had to leave Psychology early with docks me -2 points out of 102 possible points for attendance. The class seems like it would be a trip, I was worried for a bit that I missed something important but the girl I asked to take notes for me is awesome! I got my 2 recommendation letters from my teachers, but I am not sure if Mr. T's wants me to print it out or he will give me an official letter. I am so happy that I asked them to do this for me, they said so many good things that I didn't even believe that I was or did. They made my day! Other news, I will be fiancee-less for 3 days this weekend. He is going to be doing his yearly Desert 100 race in Odessa, Washington, which I am hoping he is safe throughout! I want to take a few pictures around campus so I need to bring my camera with me. Tomorrow I am going to be helping my friend dye her hair, then pick up my brother to spend the night. Hmm what to do

Start of Spring Quarter

Tomorrow is the start of Spring Quarter and I am so not ready. I am setting my backpack up and preparing for tomorrow. Apparently one of my psycho classmates in English, in Winter Quarter, beat up a friend of mines' Mom. Not cool, I knew he was messed up but damn. Anyway I need to get back to working on cleaning out my stuff.

Last Bit of Spring Break

Yep, tomorrow is the last day of Spring Break and so far I am not really having much of a break. I found out my grades were Biology B-, PE A, Math A- and First Aid A which gave me a 3.40 GPA; which then lowered my total GPA. The only reason why this Spring Break has been kind of blah is because all I have been doing is either driving around or playing Dragon Age: Origins. My grandmother had to get the rest of her toes amputated as well. I was able to hang out with a friend so that was a plus and my brother spent the night. I will also probably find out if I get more hours at work on Saturday, my only thought about why I haven't found out yet is either because the schedule isn't made up or my boss wanted me to enjoy my week off school. Anyway, time to make up my own schedule for working out.

Well if anything I emailed my Biology teacher about my test and he said I got a B- on it. I am happy to hear that because it means I passed the class. I get to know what my grades are after Tuesday.

Today I went to the scholarship workshop and learned a few things. I need to be revising my essay and working on getting back up recommendation letters. I just hope that I get extra days at work for the time being. I am ready for more hours and I have gotten used to the idea of finishing off the AA first. I am about to make me some tea and have some fun spending time with my brother.

Early Spring Break

Today was my last and only final. I feel that I did my best and my best sucked! I know I totally bombed it and that bothers me, I studied and wrote great notes on everything. I just can't keep up with some of the things that weren't discussed in or out of class. I am going on a lazy sprint for the week because Spring Break doesn't actually start till next Monday but because I only had to be in today I am free. My bosses are thinking of ways to get me more hours at work so I will have some money coming in to keep us stable. So back to my laziness hehe.

Last day of Instruction

Today was the last day of Winter quarter. I just had to turn in a paper for PE and a test for Math. It was a slow day otherwise. Next week is Finals week and so I will only have 1 final on Monday. I am excited to see my grades even though I am sure that I probably will have a C for Biology. It will be my first C and I am sad about it but the class was hard.

In other news my Mother and Brother have moved to Washington and I am very excited about that. My Father and Sister will come this Summer. Time to relax and enjoy!

Just bought my Spring books and am SO stressed. I am happy that I got them for about a third of what I would have paid for but I absolutely have no money. The stuff I was worried about before was nothing, I might actually have to take time off school because I can't afford to live. Sounds harsh but my phone bill went up and I can't afford anything other than my part of rent, insurance and my half of the car payment. I still have a credit card payment, power bill, phone bill, Internet bill. I am really depressed and mad at how this year is starting but I am still happy that my family will be moving out to live here. The only helpful thing I can think of to make ends meet, maybe, is by having my fiancee leave school for a bit or both of us stop for a while. UGH this sucks!

Snow is just about melted away and school is trying to get back what was missed. Wednesday my Biology was canceled so I am not sure what is going to go on there. Math is surprisingly going ok. PE is about the same as usual, just show up and do the workout and done. I am getting stronger though so I am very pleased about that. Next week we have to go to a gym and do a workout there for a paper, I need to find a place that offers a free day pass or something. I may be able to start up P90X after this quarter is done. Just need the equipment for it.

Last night I realized something that is currently bothering the heck out of me. I may not be able to afford the Dental Assisting program with just a part time job, that doesn't even cover all of my bills. I may have to put the program on hold and finish off the AA. I don't want it to be that way but I am so unsure of things right now. My paycheck is barely covering the important bills. I may get more hours after this quarter but I still need to pay quite a bit of stuff. I still have a few months to decide if I need to put things on hold. If anything I am trying to fill out scholarship papers to see if I qualify for anything.

I got all my financial aid papers settled and now I am just waiting for it to be processed and find out what I will be getting for next school year. Hopefully I get a little over the current amount. We shall see I guess.

Oh I am so very excited because it is only a few more days before my Mom and Brother try to fly out here and start their lives up. I am anxious because I have not seen my Brother in so long. I am just hoping that they get a straight shot here and aren't laid over somewhere. Anyway back to Math studying.

Snow Day

So today is a snow day, yet another day out of this week that I have off. I am a very happy girl. I did better on my Biology test than last time. With Math, I brought it up to a 90% so that made me happy as well. I received my Phi Theta Kappa package yesterday and got a certificate, pin and members card.

Grandma's toe amputation went well. I want to go and see her but with the snow and the Xterra being used by my fiancee I can't really do much in that aspect. Anyway I should probably get some housework done before I get too lazy. Also I want to start putting pictures on here, so here are some recent ones.

*Pic 1: Yesterday before the snow in building 35.
*Pic 2: Building 32.
*Pic 3: This morning outside my bedroom window.

A much needed 3 day weekend, but only for school. I will have Monday off still from both work and school so I guess 1 day of rest will be nice. I am kind of falling behind in Math because I am not understanding the problems. I hate when this happens, stumped by a chapter and can't move on because you need to understand the what your stuck on to understand what is next. I had a Biology test on Friday, I don't feel like I did well.

I am pretty down today because I found out my Grandma has to have a toe amputated. She was told a long time ago that she was no longer healthy enough for surgeries, so I am worried. I am sure things will be fine but I just can't help but feel like I should do something. My Mom isn't going to be out here any time this month because of lack of funds. I am slowly getting more and more depressed as the days wear on and hoping that I will be able to make it though Spring quarter with at least a C for at least 2 classes, I will be very bummed if I do not do better than that. And no I don't believe I will be getting any better than that grade besides PE and First Aid which is an easy A. I need to take a nap...

Today was my registration day for Spring. I went with Japanese III at 9 am, Creative Writing I at 10 am and Psychology of Human Relations at 11 am. The first 2 classes I will be taking with a friend, so I am not too worried about being alone and not having the right information in class. Psychology however, as far as I know, I am alone in and am hoping to make at least one friend. I say this because in Biology and Business Math right now I have no one in class that I talk to and it is very easy for me to misunderstand things. At the moment I need to continue making my Biology notes; I received a 50/50 grade for the first half of the Lab Manual so I am very happy about that.

I used the Degree Audit on the SPSCC website and with all the classes I am signed up for, I am 49 out of 90 credits in for the Associates in Arts Degree. Which puts me more than half way done with the Degree itself. I am anxious to hear if I got into the Dental Assisting Program because it will allow me to know which route to take for the rest of the school year until the next opening. I have a few back up plans for if certain events take place.

It has been a nice day off from school because of Advising Day. I hung out with a friend today when I probably should have been working on catching up with notes and other school stuff but I don't really get days off anymore so I am going to have fun.

I am currently writing my outline for Biology in hopes that me doing this will make for a better grade on the next test which is on the 14th. I swear, the man is a great teacher and knows what he is talking about but the test is straight from the book and we don't touch the book in class. I am hoping that my Lab Manual is going to be graded nicely. I am hoping that he didn't expect us to touch anything that wasn't touched during actual Lab days. I got a few of the straggler times done but did not finish some because they did not make any sense to me. I am worried about my Math test because I am not understanding how to do a chapter so I will have to try to figure it out on my own. My helper is currently unable to help me for some reason and so that doesn't help at all.

I should get back to working on those notes. Oh and I decided to do the Creative Writing class aka English 236, because I don't think my mind can handle Business Math straight to Basic Algebra.

So far classes are going well. I squished my finger in PE while trying to adjust the seat on the peck deck. Biology is interesting but I am still trying to figure out how to study for the upcoming test on the 14Th. I didn't get to find out my current test score in Math because my teacher has been sick and we have a test next week.

I am in the middle of figuring out my Spring quarter classes because my registration is on the 10Th at 12pm. So far I thought I figured everything out then I get thrown a tempting curve ball. To elaborate, the original class rundown would be Math 94 at 8am, Japanese 123 at 9am, and Psychology at 11am. But what I find interesting now is that if I just hold Math off until Summer with the Dental classes I could get another Humanities class out of the way and take English 236 at 10am and be able to sleep in more. If I end up getting more hours in the week at AMPM and its the 2-10 schedule then I am going to need as much sleep as possible so that is a very useful schedule. I have quite a bit to think about, not forgetting to mention that I will have a friend in the 10am class. Hmm decisions decisions.

On my 30 from AMPM and feel better about the place, just got to work on a few things. Got First Aid, CPR and AED certified today so I can work on people hehe. I should go..

I have worked 2 days at 7-11, and need to have the gull to quit. AMPM is paying me more and I feel a lot more at ease there. The assistant manager is all for school so I will be giving him my current schedule tomorrow. I am brain dead because I had to wake up so early plus school so I will take a nap now.

Shock & Nausea

So today was like any other day with 2 exceptions. I was hired by BOTH gas stations to work at odd hours and am completely freaked out!!! I find out my hours at 7-11 tomorrow when I go in at 7am to 10 or 10:30am for training, if not tomorrow then Friday. Which on Friday I also have to go in after school to AMPM to file paperwork and find out what I am needed to do Saturday being that I had to explain that I have First Aid and CPR class, so I will be doing a swing shift to learn how that works. I am excited for the AMPM but less for 7-11. UGH!!! I still need to explain that I now have both jobs. I feel sick, if anything I find out all I need to know by Friday and can make an educated decision on what to do next. Otherwise I am a full time student with 2 jobs.

Duh Duh Dunnnnn!

Ugh, I am so burnt out today. Another job opportunity called this morning and so I went in for an interview and got a little sketched out. After that I went to class as usual and kind of over did it. I pushed myself as hard as I could in without passing out in PE which then in turn made classes after that somewhat difficult not to pass out in. I just about took a nap in Japanese but tried hard to focus on something so I did some math homework.

Being that I pushed hard, I was able to get out early and ran by building 25 and got quite a few things done in under 10 minutes. Went to the Financial Aid office first and turned in my 2011-2012 papers. Skipped over to the Cashiers office and paid my fees for the Dental Assisting application as well as joined the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Then huddled over to Registration/Enrollment Services and turned in said Dental Assisting application. I will know if I missed anything or have entered the program within the next few months.

After all that I went out to lunch with a friend I made in English and Japanese class last quarter, had a some tasty food. Now I am home fighting the urge to take a nap and have to get some studying done for Biology and Math. Wish me luck?

Got 2 tests this week, and I get a cheat sheet for one and have to study for the other. I am not sure how this is going to go but we shall see. This weekend I was called in for an interview at the gas station down the street from my apartment and won't know if I got the job till Wednesday. If I do have the job it is only part time on weekends only until something opens up and I could possibly have more hours. I am excited but worried at the same time because if I get the call I will have to explain that I can't be in this Saturday because of my First Aid class. I am sure that the reason I spaced on mentioning that was one part excitement that he said he liked me and one part the fact that it isn't an everyday class, only 2 days out of this month.

I am currently waiting for my PE class to start because I took my fiancee to work and I get about 3 hours till my first class starts today. I am going to be turning in the Phi Theta Kappa form today and get into that Honor Society, turn in the Dental Assisting application and my Financial Aid today after class. And to be quite honest I plan on skipping Math today to do this and once I get home try to catch up because lately I just haven't been getting the formulas. I need help.

So far this week has been kind of blah. I haven't been feeling or sleeping well, PE is stressful, haven't been doing my math homework and on top of that I am out of unemployment so there is the possibility that we will have no place to live. Did my taxes and that seems to be a plus, being a student is very helpful in that aspect.

Other than that I am exhausted and am going to pass out now.

Week 2 was complete a few days ago and week 3 is about to begin. I had a test in Math and I feel that I did pretty well on it and won't know until Tuesday I assume. PE is still hard but I am getting used to it.

I need a job as soon as possible because my unemployment has run out and am waiting to see if I am eligible for emergency unemployment. Either way job needed like NOW.

Other than that I am ok.

This is the beginning of week 2, so far it seems like it isn't getting too hard just yet. I am liking Biology in the fact that he goes over a whole chapter in an hour or so if he doesn't have to stop and I won't say anything more on that because with how the note taking is I don't know how the tests are. PE is PE, a lot of work into what it is and I am doing the Toning/Strength circuit and I didn't finish all my exercises today in class so I did them at home. I told myself that I wouldn't half ass this class because I really do want to be fitter. Japanese sit in is interesting, honestly I am not paying much attention to what goes on in the class and I know that that is a bad thing in the long run but I am sure once I get my footing for this quarter things will be better. Business Math is interesting to say the least, the teacher is kind of boring and she doesn't go over much with us. She tells us to read the section and do the work then for the first few minutes of class she talks about the section and we give our answers for the work we did. Not so much a teaching environment but a learn on your own and tell me you know what your talking about type of class.

The class schedule for Spring quarter is up and so far I have my classes in order and 2 backups. I absolutely have to have Psychology 116 and Japanese 123. The first because it is a main requirement for Dental Assisting and the latter for the AA because once I get into the DA program I won't have an open schedule till I complete it. I have everything in line and hopefully things don't get screwed up somewhere.

Week 1 Complete~

All done with this first week of Winter Quarter. I am tired and sore and I want to sleep all day tomorrow but can't because I have to go find a together gift with my to be sister-in-law for her cousin. I am going to try and do some extra homework this weekend and see if I can get ahead of a few things that way I don't have to worry when my slack off attitude appears.

I am happy to say that Jon is done with his first week as well. I am so proud of him and now he is trying to get his friend to go to school as well. I will help him if it is what he chooses to do. I am about ready to pass out so night all!

UGH, so today I had to wake up earlier than needed just because I had to drop my fiancee off to work because our backup vehicle decided it's battery wouldn't work. I went back to sleep for like 30 minutes after I got back home and then had to get ready to leave for class. First class of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays are PE because Biology is a Monday, Wednesday, Friday class. PE kicked me in the ass. All we did was upper body exercises and for some reason they are low on lower weights so for the most part I had to use weights that were too much for me. I am sore and tired. I went to Japanese class and rewrote my notes for Biology because I could barely read it the notes I had. At Math class I was ok until the teacher started to confuse the hell out of us. I am pretty sure we all learned an easy way of doing the math that was being done but what she did was majorly confusing and I guess I can understand where she was coming from, it was her easy way. I haven't started any homework yet but I should, off I go!

Winter 11 Start~

Today was the first day of classes. So far I am thinking this is going to be a rough quarter only because I am taking 4 classes and 1 I am sitting in on, actually 3 classes because 1 of them is First Aid and that is only 2 days out of this month both on Saturdays. I am not sure if this is going to be an overload on myself but I can say that Biology looks to be interesting, Math is a gray area as always and PE needs the physical aspect of myself which is none. I need to get some gear together to wear for PE class because I start the workouts tomorrow. I am still down on the fact that I don't have a job yet but I guess it can't be helped.
