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
. 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
....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.Sportsfan
Hi 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 
. 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 
. 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 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 
!
. 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 
. 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!
Hi everyone, I've had an interesting time since I last posted an entry. Last Monday (the 13th), I had a car accident on the way home from school that night 
! I also got accepted into one of the colleges I applied to 
! 
This past week's schoolwork included putting together my speech outline, filling out two studyguides, turning in my proposal for my Biology experiment, taking a quiz in Argument-based Research, writing a paper for this same class, and also Math homework.
Phew, that's a lot of schoolwork! Biology was kind of fun the other day when we did lab.....we made homemade bread in the teacher's bread machine 
I just don't get the stuff at all, so I will be getting some tutoring for that class. I might need to get tutoring for Biology too but I will wait and see on that one. 
What a game! Freshman guard Austin Rivers sank a three-pointer at the last minute, lol, I was thrilled! I am hoping they will win the championship, that remains to be seen. What a team!
I 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!
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 
. 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!
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!
Well, that's it for now, talk more later!
. 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 
, 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!
