! So of course I am in the midst of studying for exams, getting a paper done for English, crtitiquing a speech, and then I have a speech to give later today....a special ocassion speech. Thankfully this speech will be a little easier in that no research was needed, plus the time limit is shorter. But in the middle of all this studying, I did get to enjoy going on a field trip Friday with college classmates of mine, we had a really great time! 
We went to a really large zoo about a couple of hours from us, so we had to leave a little early in the morning. We stopped for a quick breakfast at McDonald's (we got our food to-go) and then went on down the road. We rode in two different school vans, it made for an interesting trip, lol, nothing like a bunch of nutty young adults getting together like that
. The zoo was really huge so my legs really got a workout. We had an awesome time! There was soooo much to see, there aren't enough words to describe it, so here are some pictures:

I've been flying thru a lot of studying this week, but things are slowly winding down towards graduation from community college. I gave my persuassive speech on Monday, it was on "Why Athletes Need a Cap on Their Salary". I did alright on the speech but was short on my time, so I'm sure I lost points on that....oh well. On Tuesday I had a major Math test, I did good on that test and now I'm holding onto a "B" n that class. Also, Tuesday and Wednesday was a little hectic as I was getting a sales presentation together for my "Sales and Advertising" class. Everyone in the class was partnered with someone to put together a role-play presentation. The person I was partnered with was frantically getting her stuf together s well just like I was. I had gotten some of it done but so much other schoolwork got in the way of my completing it. So we worked on it and finally got it all put together on Wednesday. Our role-play presentation was on Poppa John's Pizza, I played the role of someone representing the Poppa John's company 
. We managed to do very well and we also made the required time frame of 10-12 minutes. I picked up my graduation cap/gown, announcements, and name cards on Wednesday, so it's time to get busy and get those announcements in the mail. Some of them I will be mailing to relatives and friends, and some of them I will be giving to friends of mine. For now, I continue on with getting other assignments done. I have a major paper to do for my online English class, an Economics test, as well as critiquing a speech and writing a paper on that too. Physical ed. class is progressing well, although we all got quite a workout on the exercise bikes 
. But I need to stay in shape so I can be ready for my summer job at camp. Well, that's about it for now, have a great weekend!
Just a little excited here, lol! In a little over 3 weeks from now, I will be completely done with community college, woo hoo!
I have been staying very busy with schoolwork....writing papers, taking quizzes and tests, and writing out my persuassive speech. I did ok with my English quiz and my test in Economics. I aced my test in "Sales & Advertising" class, I am really enjoying that class 
, I kind of need to get my muscles built up strong. Thursday was a fun day at school since it was Spring Fling day, a day where they booths set up with games and food. It was fun! I did a tug-of-war game and did pretty good with it. I played some other games and won a couple of prizes.....a basketball, a travel coffe mug, and a keychain. I tried playing this soccer game 
so that I could win a soccer ball for my sister who loves to play soccer. However, I am not too coordinated when it comes to soccer, I am built more for basketball, so I just couldn't get it no matter how much I tried. Well, the food was great, I had BBQ chicken and hush puppies 
, fantastic! 
, totally excited! As I said, there's lots of excitement in the air!
! College work has been going well. I made a 90% on my Economics test and made a 100% on my Sales/Marketing test. At the moment, I am currently working on an informative speech, I am doing my speech on persuading everyone as to why athletes need a cap on their salary (in other words, not getting such outrageous salaries). I also have a quiz and paper coming up for an English class but that is not due until next Friday. 
! My friend and I competed in a ping pong tournament, however we did not get very far in it. I did not last very long in the log rolling contest or on the mechanical bull either. I was determined to win a prize by riding on the mechanical bull for at least 30 seconds, but the longest I stayed on was for 24 seconds. Needless to say I was very sore after doing all of that
. But I did find my area of expertise.....a contest that was set up like the game show Jepordy. I managed to answer enough questions in order to go stand in this thing with money blowing all around you, lol. Of course, I grabbed as much as I could, lol. I won $7, yay!
Let's just say that my chair got caught on something as I was slidding back into it.....I ended up flipping backwards in my chair....sigh, I am sure my friends got a good laugh out of that one 
, so embarassing
! Other than that I had a great time. I am looking forward to going on a class field trip with some other students who are a part of the student services program like I am. Tomorrow, we will be going to visit a TV news station, Ripley's Aquarium, and also a college....and of course, we'll stop somewhere nice to eat, lol. It's a great way to start off our Easter break from community college.!
