Goodbye Burger King and Biology!

Smiley

I'm waving goodbye to Burger King and Biology!  As I mentioned in my previous post, I had been offered a tutoring job at my community college and was thinking/praying about leaving Burger King.  Well it's official, I turned in my two weeks notice to Burger King last week.....my last night of work there will be this Saturday night.  I am relieved to be all done with them as the stress and lack of sleep from working there was interferring with my being able to concentrate on my schoolwork Smiley.  I worked there for a year and a half as the drive-thru cashier, it has been quite an experience.  I can definitely say that I have learned a lot about running a business.....both the positive and the negative side of things.  Having been offered the tutoring job, it was time to move on.  I can work as a tutor for the rest of the school year, then move on into my summer job at the Christian camp. What's nice is that I have complete peace about this and how it all works out perfectly.

I'm also waving goodbye to my Biology class.  Inspite of much tutoring and extra studying, I still had not been able to improve my grade in this class.  I did not do any better on last week's Biology test at all Smiley....don't ask what I scored on it.  In order for me to even pass the class, I would have to make "A's" on everything in Biology for the rest of the school year.  And yes, I could pour all of my energy into Biology to accomplish that.  However, the last time I poured all my efforts into one class (Financial Accounting) I passed that class, but it was at the expense of two easy classes that I ended up not doing well in.  I did not care to do that again and risk doing bad in my other classes because of focusing on Biology.  It is a "lost cause", a class I need to try and attempt some other time...just not now when I am aiming for a good G.P.A.  Thankfully dropping Biology is not going to affect anything.  And once again, I have complete peace about saying "goodbye" to Biology, now I can put forth more effort into my other classes.

Checking in....

Happy SmileyHi everybody, Sportsfan finally checking in here, lol.  The past two weeks have been super busy with school, homework, and working.....and it just keeps getting busier.  At community college, I did my informative speech on homeschooling, I think I did alright, I did manage to stay in the time limit ( which is something everyone else had trouble with).  I've also had papers to write and tests to take, with more exams to come next week, so my brain has been getting a workout, lol Thinking Smiley Text .  Biology will be my toughest exam, I did not do very well on the previous one.  I have been getting some tutoring for this class so I hope to do better this time around.  Speaking of tutoring, I was offered a tutoring job at the community college I attend.  There are some students needing help in some classes I've had before, so they asked me if I could help.....and I would get paid to do it Smiley.  I've already started one tutoring session this past week and will start another one next week.....I'm really excited to be helping out my fellow students. 

I got to finally visit the college I got accepted into for this Fall.  My mom and I drove up there this past Tuesday while I was on Spring Break.  I had a blast!Smiley  I got to see some of the campus and visit the hospitality department which has my major......restaurant management.  Later, I went to their campus bookstore where I bought a college hat, then had coffee in the cafe next to the bookstore.  My mom and I then went to the workshops they had for transfer students like me, we got a lot of questions answered there.....and enjoyed the snacks they had laid out for everyone, lol.  I had a really great time there, I loved it!  I am so psyched about attending there this Fall Smiley!

While school has been going well, my job at Burger King continues to be a huge pain for me Smiley.  I am trying to continue working there until I finish school in about two months, then later move on to my summer camp job.  However, it's been frustrating for me.....just different things causing me aggravation there Smiley.  I am thinking about possibly giving them a two-weeks notice and quit working at Burger King a lot sooner. I can't take the stress there and concentrate on my schoolwork at the same time, it's too much.  Now I do have the tutoring job I just started, so it's not like I will lose much in the way of income.  Deinitely something to think and pray about!
