Um, yeah......

Not a whole lot to say this time around. But since its been 17 days since I last posted there should've been at least some excitement in my life. There was Homecoming on campus which was a lot of fun. Some friends came to visit, and we all had a good time. We checked out the Football game which we ended up winning with a 52 yard field goal.
Otherwise since then absolutely nothing but class and work, not a whole lot of time for fun at all. This past weekend between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I put in 33 hours of work, and if you include driving time in there roughly 38 hours of work. I really didn't get a whole lof of sleep either so that just made me even more exhausted.
The free time I did get on Sunday night I cooked dinner for myself and my girlfriend, and then worked on homework for while to try and get caught up for the week, and I also was able to get a little free reading in before I ended up crashing for the night.
The nice thing about lately those has been the weather, its finally changed from cloudy and gloomy to bright sunny, and enjoyable, which has lifted my spirits a bit. But I suppose, I should probably go I've got a lot more homework to work on this afternoon and evening.

Slacker?....maybe just a bit :(

So it is almost that time of the semester where you realize holy crap, its halfway gone and you only have half of it left. My jobs have kept me pretty busy, and busy enough where I sort of forgot about my online class a bit. I ended up missing two of the discussion boards, so I didn't get points for those but I can make those up in the end through other assignments. Also in another one of my classes we have this paper that is due soon, and I haven't really started it yet, I actually sat down last night and worked on trying to lay it out a bit and figure out what I want to talk about in it. Its supposed to be a 5 page paper no less, about myself and my family so really not all that hard, I just have to do it. So I guess maybe my job is starting to show that it might interfere with school work, but I do need the job.

As far as some of my other classes go, they are going okay. My morning one that I have on Monday and Wednesday mornings I have missed a couple times the past few weeks because I have been working late and having to get up early, and just exhausted didn't really want to get out of bed ( so I didn't, not a good idea missed class). So it looks like in the next few weeks I won't be working has much right around 30 hours a week instead of the 35-40 hours a week. So hopefully I will be able to do a better job of keeping up. I should get back to work though, so buh-bye.

October . . . already?

Wow, so I can't believe it is October already, the first month of school has already flown by. It really feels like September was non-existent. So on Wednesday I had the last of my first tests in my classes. It was an online, open note/book test. I really didn't study all that hard for it and it ended up coming back to bite me in the behind. Had it not been for the enormous amount of extra credit I received it would've been a lot worse. But now I know how his tests will work, and will do a better job preparing for them (like actually reading the text, and looking over the notes before the test). Besides school my jobs are still going well. I think I am already starting to get burnt out with my job at the academy I have been real tired from the long hours I have put in over there. I am totally looking forward to this weekend because I do not have to work Friday night, or all day Saturday and Sunday. That will be such a relief I can just relax and get caught up on some sleep and much needed homework. Otherwise for the most part everything is going well. So I should probably get back to work before I get in trouble, adios!
