Whew!

The past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement and sickness. I haven't hardly had time to breathe, much less blog! I have learned SO MUCH, already, and I'm hungry for more.

I am having fun with my classmates. The above photo is from our first day actually baking, in bakery lab. Those are country biscuits. Man, were they good! So easy to make, too. Who knew?!?!

This is 2 of my classmates, Joe and Shanna. They are part of my group in baking lab. The photo's include the 4 of us :)

Today, we made blueberry muffins, and chocolate chip muffins (because Troy is allergic to blueberries ;)  )

I hope to have more and more pictures to share here on the ol blog, real soon.

Sweet Summer...errrr semester

 So, with the Spring semester wrapped up, I have begun my Summer semester. I'm only taking two classes. Important ones nonetheless. English and Art. Kind of boring but easy grades in my opinion. :)

I'm looking forward to the end of the semester, in late July, so that I can have some me time before I have to start in August, for the Fall. I'm kind of hoping to squeeze in a vacation between then, with the family. I would like to see my daughter and that means traveling to Missouri.

I have decided in the Fall, I'm going to bite the bullet and take 4 classes and tomorrow I can begin the online registration for those. Here's my plan:

Dev. Math 2 (not a college credit, but unless I want to test out I need it)
Biology
Survey of Film (humanities)
(This completes all prerequisites)
Food Service Safety and Sanitation OR Intro. To Hospitality.

I believe the latter is offered mostly as an online course, or at least it was this Summer. After Fall semester is over I will only be taking my Culinary courses from then on out. How exciting! I'm getting there! :)

Welcome to: The End.

 -Sigh-
 It's been a fun filled and fast journey, to say the least. I am enthused with the new friend's that I have made, and not so sad about the loss of one person who I thought was my friend. Emotional? You could say that this semester has been a variable, sorta roller-coaster of emotions, yes. But I am happy to report that this semester is down to it's final day's.
I have learned so much, in such a short time. For example, who knew that I would have made such good grades in math? Math! My weakest subject in all of my years in school. Me? Yes! Me! I have managed to sail through the lessons and maintain an above average grade of a B+ all semester long. (Not to be superstitious or anything but I really hope that me saying this doesn't make me do horribly on my final exam). I'm a tad bit proud of myself, even if nobody else is.
I'm also happy to report that I made an A on my final exam for my English/Reading class. I'm actually done a few week's early with that class. Fine by me! This free's up more time and allow's me to focus on the class that I'm not doing so great in: Psychology.
I would be flat out lying through my teeth (or fingers in this case) if I said that I did not dread-dread-dread the final exam. I have to keep my confidence up and have Faith that I can, and will, pass it with flying color's. I just have to. Period.
So, off I go. There are notes to take and subjects to be read. I can't wait!

-Sigh-

Week 6

This week, and part of last, I have been very, very sick. Turns out I have a bad sinus infection and ears. Oh joy! I had to miss class last Thursday and again on Monday.
I made an A+ (100%) on my vocab test last week. But, I made a D on the psych test I had been so worried about. I'm not happy at all about that. I studied for that test for over 2 weeks and was popping off answer's in the class during the test review. I have no idea how, or why, I made a D but, I did.
I have another math test on Thursday of this week and I think it'll be a bit tougher as we're going to be giving definition's as well as doing actual math problems. Should be challenging!

Here's to wellness!
Till next time...do good thing's!

Week 4

Here's a progress report. This is week 4 of classes. I have my first math test, today. I'm nervous.
I have had 2 assignment's in my Reading 2 class. I got a B+ on the first one but, yesterday I got an A= (100%) on the second. I was stoked!
I'm still in lecture's for my Psych. class and we'll be having our first text in about a week. There is so much to remember! We're doing 2 chapter's at a time. I think I can do it, though.

Til next time....do good thing's!
