More thoughts, bullet style :)

• It's been a LONG while since I've posted, but things have been going good! I have been SUPER busy with work and school and I'm really hoping that it will slow down starting this week. We had a drop/add deadline finish up on Friday so students have to file petitions to drop classes now and usually once that deadline passes, things slow down quite a bit. I sure hope so!!
• My classes...I really like them! I really enjoy two of them and one of them...well, let's say that I'll tolerate it because I don't have a choice about it. :) It's just a drag because the professor is so obnoxious, but I'll manage just fine. The other two classes are the ones that I'm excited about..."Public Relations" and "Relationship Ethics." Both have proven to be VERY interesting so far! I think I'll learn a lot from them!
• I had to have our spring 2011 schedule loaded into the system by midnight last Friday, so I stayed late to work on it. After getting everything finished, I went to the folder for my Communication degree program and took a peek at the classes they're tentatively offering this spring and I'm excited about how things might work out! It looks like they're planning on a class on Tuesday nights and another one on Thursday nights and both are ones that I can take and ones that would let me graduate! Wahoo! :) Let's hope that things go accordingly and that they don't CHANGE the plans of what they're offering! :) It would sure be nice to have two nights of classes and that's it!! It's two separate classes that meet only ONE time a week, so that would be NICE! :)
• As I already said, work has been SUPER busy. I've worked late almost every night since the 23rd, Fridays included. It's not my most favorite time of year, but it would probably go a lot better if the students would LISTEN to the directions that they're given, whether from me or from one of their professors. I have become a firm believer that it's okay to repeat directions to students three or four times because the reality is that they're probably only going to hear the info ONCE.
• Mom, Dad & Luke's (my brother) visit was short, but super sweet! :) They pulled into town on Friday the 27th and left on Monday morning the 30th. We had a good time and laughed a lot and drove each other crazy some moments, but it was great!! :) I took them to the mountains one afternoon to see some scenery and that's about the "biggest" thing we did. We had some shopping trips and a potluck supper, but other than that, we just hung out and relaxed. It was NICE and I'm really looking forward to my time home at Christmas!!
• This week marks the official LEAP into the academic year. Two weeks down and 14 more to go before this semester ends and then I begin my LAST semester as a college student!! I'm so ecstatic about that! Mom & Dad asked, "What will you do then?" I said, "Start a Master's program?" haha... :) We'll see! :)
• Yesterday I ordered a new computer! Yay! It's a Dell desktop with a LOT more speed and functionality. It's due to arrive on the 22nd, so I'm excited for that day to arrive!
• Have a great week!
