Voting day...will I win?!

It's voting day at my community college, both today and tomorrow.  I am running for "king" of my community college, and of course, there are two girls running for "queen" of the community college.  My weekend was already crazy with getting a paper done and doing accounting homework.  But I also had a speech to put together along with practicing my piano performance (for the talent portion of the competition).  In my speech, I had to say why I felt they should vote for me .  It all went really well, although I have to say my competitor did a good job with his talent performance too....so the competition is fierce, lol.  One of the girls running for "queen" is a classmate of mine, so I voted for her.  I have to say that it felt kind of weird voting for myself, lol .  Now that is done and I can relax and wait........they will announce the winners next week......this will be a long wait, lol.

In the meantime, I have about two weeks of school left and I will be done with this semester.  Of course there are still a few last minute assignments to do.  I have to present my memo report and Powerpoint presentation in my Business Communication class tomorrow.  I also have a resume and cover letter to do for the same class.  There will be a test in Payroll Accounting this week, hopefully I should do alright on it.....although I did get a 100% on my continuing project for this class .  I also have a test in two other classes, Math and Sales/Advertising.  Then there is another quiz coming up plus I have a portfolio to put together for another class.  Phew!  Will I survive the next two weeks?  Lol!

Keeping busy

It's been two weeks since I last posted, lol, so I figured it's about time I get an entry made .  Things have been very busy for me around here with schoolwork during the week and my job on the weekends.  It's another week and a half before I go on break from community college, so I will be trudging along until then.

Things at my job have been very busy, but that seems to be the way it goes during hi gh school football season.  Once the game is done, people swarm to Burger King for an after-game meal.  That makes the drive-thru become non-stop with customers .  On top of that I came down with a bad cold, so it was not easy to focus on my job or schoolwork.  There really was no way for me to stay home from work, they don't let you just call in sick.  You have to have a doctor's note to say that you cannot work.....kind of hard to get to a doctor on the weekend when I got sick .  Along with this, because I was sick, I forgot to complete an online quiz for my Payroll Accounting class.....sigh.  And since I didn't do the quiz it gave me a grade of "0".  But unfortunately, the teacher said I could not make up the quiz, that is just the school policy.  Even if you miss coming to a class due to illness, you cannot make-up the quizzes.  I am not sure why it's that way, unless it is a way to keep people from cheating on quizzes (since fellow classmates would know what is on the quiz).  She felt kind of bad because she knew I was sick and it could not be helped.  But thankfully the lowest grade in the class will be dropped, so obviously this will be the grade that gets dropped.  That is good because, so far, I have a "B" in this class .

My math has been going pretty well, at least until this last lesson related to Geometry.  I thought I had it all figured out right, I did the homework correctly.  But when I took the test it seems I didn't do so well.  Time to re-group, lol, especially since my next section is related to pre-algebra.  Along with all of this, I've had the usual tests and quizzes and have managed to do firly well on them.  But I have two on-going projects, one for "Success and Study Skills" and the other one for "Business Communication".  The project for Success and Study Skills involves putting together a portfolio of your academic plan, your short-term goals, your long-term goals, the results of learning evaluation, samples of your school work, etc.  I have the needed three-ring binder, sheet protectors, and tab divider, along with some of the paperwork I have to put in it.  I just need to slow down long enough to get it done, lol.  I also have a paper to write for this class too.  For Business Communication, I need to do a report on Burger King  and also put together a Power Point presentation on it.  This is due by this Thursday so I need to get on this today.  Later, after Thanksgiving break, we all have to present our report and Power Point Presentation.  Soooo, as usual, I have a load of work to do.  But then, that's college work for you, definitely more to it than what you see in high school.

See you later!
