New Year, New Me!

      I finally got the cut I have been wanting. I saw it on Ginnifer Goodwin on Pinterest and I knew I had to have it. Of course my hair isn't as thick as hers is, but it works for me! I'm especially grateful to Jeanine, my beauty lady, for such a great job! She is amazing!

     So, with just 2 day's left until classes begin, I'm a bundle of nerves right now. I'm excited, and anxious all at the same time. I have to get out of my vacation-frame-of-mind and back into my school-days routine. It won't be hard. I'm used to waking up early, yet, somehow when I'm supposed to I don't quite want to. Weird how that happens, isn't it? Since I have been on vacation from school, I don't think that I have slept past 8 o'clock, even once! lol

     I got a new mug/cup thingy from my aunty, for one of my Christmas gifts. It's called Tervis, it's got polka dots and an orange lid, that is meant for hot beverages. I fully intend to put that thing to good use on school day's, with fresh coffee from my Keurig!

Until Next Time...

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! :)

New Book, Plug and Chatter

This is not a paid advertisement:     I have been a member of Paperback swap for a few years now. It has allowed me to get book's that I have wanted for A LOT less than retail price. It's fairly simple, in how it operates. You list your unwanted books with them, and if someone wants it, they contact you. Once you mail, and they receive the book, you earn a credit. Then, in turn, you use that credit to "buy" a book from someone else. In a word, it's recycling, of books. There is also a wish list option in which you add book's you desire and when someone posts a book it alerts them that someone is wishing for their book and they contact you automatically. Its awesomeness!
     Yesterday, I received a book that I have been wanting, The Complete Idiot's Guide to - Success As A Chef. Now, I know that it might seem absurd when I am a culinary student, however, I wanted to read it because I feel that it has some valid points. So far, I am enjoying the book :)
     School is going well, and all that it entails. I am still a bit scornful over that lousy D that I made, however, I am doing very well in both of my other classes and maintaining a B average. Does it make up for that lousy D? No, not even close.
Spring Break has sprung and today, after my math class, I will be free from classes until March 19th. I can handle 11 day's of no class, absolutely!

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

Week 5

This marks week 5 of my life as a culinary student. I made an 85 (B) on my math test that I was so worried about last week.
Tomorrow, I have a huge psychology test that I have been anticipating since day 1. My prof. kind of put it off because of a few thing's and I think that only made it worse.
I also have an A in my reading class. Yesterday, my prof. told me that she loves me. Previously she told me that I was an excellent student and that it is hard to keep an A in her class, which I have managed to do. I also have a vocab test in her class tomorrow. :)

Today is math class, and we're learning even more new thing's. I think I'm hanging in there just fine though. :)

Looking forward to Spring Break. We're going to Walt Disney World! Some friend's of our's have decided that they'll be going down at the same time as us. I'm looking forward to that. It's their first time at "the World" and we have lot's to show them! :)

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