Marching along

SmileyI am marching along in my college work here as I have settled down into a good routine.  I've been doing pretty well so far in my classes, probably enjoying my physical education class the most, lol.  Biology has been pretty good, I like when we do the lab stuff.  But yesterday was aggravating in lab because the Early College students kept disrupting the class, causing the teacher to constantly have to "shhh" at them.....drove me crazy!Smiley  Early College students are public highschoolers who are taking college classes there on campus, unfortunately they tend to act so disruptive.  It seems that, given the opportunity to aquire a college education while in high school, they would be more focused like I was.  But then I guess I was just a weird homeschooled teen, lol Smiley.  Speaking of homeschooling, I will get to give a speech on it soon.  In my speech class, we all have to give an informative speech in a couple of weeks.  I looked at the list of topics given in the book and found that "homeschooling" was a topic of choice.....so I chose that for my speech!Smiley  Who better to give an informative speech on homeschooling than someone like me whose been homeschooled.  I'm sure it will be fun!  Other stuff.....I have a new cell phone, yay!SmileyI love it, and it's even better than my old cell phone.  You see, I had a little accident with my old cell phone.....thanks to carrying my phone in my hoodie, it fell out of my hoodie pocket and into some water, Rolleye Smiley well, make that a lot of water.  So of course this completely killed my phone.  Thankfully we had it insured, so I was able to get it quickly exchanged for a new one, I love it!  There is lots of activity going on at my community college next month......a quiz bowl and also a Valentine's Day party.  The quiz bowl is for Black History Month, and since I'm good with history I decided to sign myself up for that.  We'll see how good I do with that.  The Valentine's Day festivities sound like fun too, I am looking forward to it!Happy Smiley  Well, that's it for now, talk more later!

School and a Birthday!

Finally, back to school!  I started back to community college yesterday and I'm glad to be hitting the books, lol.  Don't get me wrong, Christmas break was nice but I was getting kind of bored there at the end.....I guess my brain craved some studying, lol.  I am taking seven classes this semester:

Survey of Economics
Physical Education I
Oral Communication
Fundamentals of Selling
General Biology I
Mathematical Concepts
Argument-based Research (online class)

So far, I'm off to a great start, although it looks like I will need to get tutoring in the math right away....it goes into further application models of Algebra Smiley.  Biology looks interesting as well, I am looking forward to doing the lab part of it tomorrow.  Physical education is going to be a lot of fun.  It's not a class I needed to take but a class that I wanted to take to help me stay in shape.....working at Burger King has caused me to put on some pounds, lol.  There is some exercise equipment in the classroom   Sport Exercise, lol, hopefully I won't stumble off the treadmill.  We also did a workout yesterday, lol, I am feeling it today, but I will get used to it soon.  In the past, I have usually played basketball during high school, but since I graduated last year I have fell out of shape.  So this will be a fun class!

Enough about school, lol, on to some great news!  Today is my sister Catlover's birthday, she turns 16 years old.  She is a great sister to have around!
